Either online, or in person dating, men these days (pretty sure there are some good ones out there, so no offense to THEM) are nothing but selfish jerks who just want to tell you how sexy you are, just so that they can get something if you know what I mean. Why do men do that, instead of putting in the effort to actually get to know the woman they find hot, or attractive, and possibly have a long time friend, girlfriend, or potential wife? If I was a dude, I wouldn't play with a woman's heart. That sucks to be toyed with, so why is it that this day and age has to be the day and age of single women, simply because men are animals anymore? Almost half tempted to start dating women.

I'm asking because I live by myself in a house with my 2 parakeets. I'm having really bad chest pain, left side of chest, and my armpit and abdomen hurt as well. It got worse when I laid down on my back. I'm not a hypochondriac, so calling 9-1-1 won't be something I would do, unless I know I'm dying. Will anyone know whether or not I've died? I'm kinda scared that nobody will find my parakeets until they're dead after I die. (Not sure how long a parakeet lives after the owner passes away, but their dishes are always full of water and food every day. I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Idk what's wrong with me. Ever since 12-28-2016, I've been having mood swings... Mostly episodes of crying off and on. For no reason. I've been falling behind in college, when usually I'm a good student. I haven't done my dishes in 2 weeks, and I usually wash them every day. I stopped taking my high blood pressure meds, I'm smoking more than usual, can't seem to stay focused. I can't muster the motivation to cook myself a decent meal, so I just grab pieces of cheese out of the fridge and eat it. In fact, I've been craving cheese for the past 3 weeks. I can't bring myself to drink water, I am fatigued all the time, nauseous at night, have insomnia sometimes, and have been napping during the day when I usually don't do that... What is wrong with me? Why am I so emotional, tired, nauseous, unmotivated, and weepy? Also dehydrated a lot.

Ever since I was little, I have always hated girly things. I got embarrassed any time I got Barbie dolls, had to wear a dress, walk in heels or do my hair. I ve always been jealous that my brother got G.I. Joe s, Transformers, Ninja Turtles... I always wanted to play with his toys. As I reached the puberty part of life, I always had crushes on girls and boys. I still lust after women mostly, but have sex with men. (Haven t found a woman who is interested in me.) I ve always liked lifting weights, playing video games, played basketball and soccer in school, always wanted guy friends and really didn t like having sleep overs and slumber parties, either. I m 36 today and I have always hated being female and always have wished I was a dude. I always felt like I wasn t supposed to be female, and I will not wear a dress, will not wear heels, and I do have makeup, but I don t wear it, because I hate it. I will not waste time to do my hair. I m more comfortable wearing it up in a bun. I absolutely hate bras, and I don t like anything about being female at all. Currently, I identify as bisexual, because I am attracted to both men and women. I m pretty sure that I am meant to be a dude. I feel disgusting as a woman and I wish that I was a biological male. I have a vagina and I ve never been happy with that. I m pretty sure that I should be identifying as male. What do I do? I want to make the transition but I m scared of society s judgment. Advice?

I am just wondering, because I am a musician, but not yet discovered. I write lyrics, I rap, I sing good, but I did do a rap song that I wrote and uploaded it to soundcloud. After hearing it a few times, I'm pretty sure that it's not my song. I mean, I'm sure I am not proud of it, is what I mean. So, am I like the only musician who has written and performed a song that I'm not a fan of, that I thought really sucked? Is that normal to be so hard on yourself and have to start over?

I looked online, but the information was a bit confusing to me. For example: Let's say someone is able to kick my front door in even with the dead bolt locked. If I stand behind my front door with a steak knife in my right hand, hidden behind my wrist, am I allowed to use the steak knife in self defense if the intruder saw me and came at me? Or, would I go to jail for injuring the intruder?

My mom and I resided together for almost a year. She left today and moved into her new place. We left on good terms, and in the afternoon, I was alright. But the minute it became about 10:00 at night, I got severely paranoid, even tho my door is locked. Whenever I live in an apartment or house by myself, I m super super fearful of going to sleep at night. So, I will panic and stay awake until dawn, when I see the sky getting lighter, that s when I feel safe enough to go to sleep. Why am I feeling this way? I don t understand...

I'm an older Aquarius sister of an older Capricorn brother, and a younger Taurus brother. My Capricorn brother and I always got along good. My Taurus brother and I have always butted heads since we were kids. Having a Taurus for a brother is an absolute nightmare to THIS Aquarius! Why are Taurus brothers such azzholes? I'm 36 and he's 34, and we still don't talk at all. I got along fine with my Capricorn brother before he died. Any other Aquarius out there have trouble with a Taurus sibling?

I sent payment for my birth certificate off weeks ago, and also sent off for a social security card, so that I can have them, when I go for my driver's license. My current ID expires in 5 months, and I was hoping to have those documents by now. It's September and I sent off for them in July. This is getting ridiculous. Who do I reach out to, and why is this taking so long? I was born in Georgia, but reside in Colorado. They should've gotten here by now.

How would you deal with this scenario? Between you and your mom, you each have income, but your mom has less, because she s working for crap wage, but you re the one who put $1250.00 down on renting a house, but your mom is still trying to control you. You get irritated, because you re 35, but don t have the heart to throw your mom out on the street, because she s disrespecting you as an adult, but yet, you pay the majority of the bills on the house. I m about to haul off and deck her, even though society views "hitting your parents is unheard of and we don t do that", I don t care if it s my mom or my next door neighbor. There is only so much negative, distressing, and annoying nagging that is constant that I can take, before I lose it. I am trying to keep my cool about things, but wow. I don t think I can much longer.

Which ones were gross to you, which ones did you prefer, and would you ever buy them again? Just curious...

I've been smoking since I was 21. I wish I'd never started. I'm 35 now and I'm sick of smoking. The smell is very stinky, it's not attractive, and makes everything stink. I somehow keep trying to make things for myself to do, and I have been smoking less, however, that's minimizing, so I'm not smoking as much, and I shouldn't be smoking at all. I'm sick of spending money on a poison that's going to kill me anyway. I'd like to quit now. Please give me some pointers, as this is a disgusting and powerful habit that I need to break free of...

I m 35, I m Bipolar (type 2), and ever since I was a child, I ve had a problem with authority figures. As a result of my having issues with authority figures, I ended up in juvenile hall, youth corrections, and have also served time as an adult for doing ignorant things. Anyway, I was taught to be independent, and to never depend on anyone for anything. I do fine when I live by myself. But currently, my mom doesn t make enough at her job to be able to afford her own place, so she resides with me temporarily. I understand that everyone has to deal with authority figures at places like a job, and to disobey that kind of authority will get me fired. But, when it comes to my mom, no matter what advice she gives me, I fight her every step of the way, because I feel like I will learn best by experience. My mom constantly tells me what to do, and I feel like I m losing my independence, so I am thinking about ditching her or kicking her out... she s THAT aggravating... when she dies, I won t have her nagging at me, and I would be relieved. My mom says I m disrespecting her, and I tell her I m grown and I ll do as I please whether she likes it or not. I m not one who can be tamed. So, what s wrong with that? I m an Aquarius too, in case that may explain any further...

Hurt my back 3 days ago. I called one of my friends to help me get a box spring and mattress down to my basement. A friend gave it to me and it's used, so little does she know, I'm never gonna use it. So, my friend was unable to help me. I ended up moving the heavy **** myself, and ****** my lower back up pretty good. It hurts to walk, it hurts to do everything... what's a quick remedy for this? I also have a crooked spine already so that doesn't help matters any... took ibuprofen 800 but that didn't help...

I'll stick up for someone from a different country before I'll stick up for any white trash. Ever since I was 8 years old, I've hated white people, have always hated white people food, and I hate the fact that I'm white. Can't stand the American way. Can't stand being American. I think I was born to the wrong couple. Ew, white people... naaaaasty. I'd rather be Hispanic.

I can't stand the USA, and haven't really enjoyed being here, growing up here, etc. I'm not patriotic, and I'm ashamed that I am white. I've been this way since I was a kid. I wanna get the **** outta this he'll hole and go live in another country. Possibly the UK. I love Brits, wanna meet them, and do not want to be an American citizen anymore. This country has no values and this country just sucks major ***. How do I go about escaping this haunted nightmare of a piece of **** country? I really do hate the USA. I need to get outta here!!

I started my monthly curse at age 12. I had the normal 7 day period. After I had my last baby and tubes tied at age 27, my periods went into a normal cycle of being heavy every month. As far as I know, my tubal hasn't failed me. Been sexually active last month and month prior. This month and last month I've had extremely light menstrual cycles. I took a HPT to be sure that my tubes didn't come undone, and the HPT was negative. So, I'm thinking about seeing my doctor, but I am wondering what your thoughts on this may be... I'm confused.

I have a microwave, but pizza rolls are soggy and not crispy. My oven on my stove doesn t work, so that s why I m asking this. Has anyone ever tried frying pizza rolls in a pan? I guess I just want crispy pizza rolls.

My mom is going to be 58 on March 9th, 2016. She's had COPD for over a year already, and no matter what... Her coughing seems to get worse. The worst part is, I've asked her to consider quitting smoking, but every time I mention it, she gets pissed off. I don't know. I feel helpless, not knowing which COPD stage she's in. I hate to be a negative Nelly, but I have this gut wrenching feeling that she won't even make it to age 60. Every time she coughs, she coughs so hard, her face almost turns purple and she's passed out from coughing many times. I do know CPR n stuff, but I wouldn't know how to handle her if she passed out n didn't wake up. What stage of COPD might she be in? She sleeps a lot more now too and is always angry... Help?
