Rumpelstiltskin

I am a woman (my avatar is Captain Nemo) and ever since I was young, I always attracted pedophiles and perverts. I dated before, but I was dumped for no reason, possibly cheated on. I tried this dating website two months ago and I never attracted a good guy. Two months ago, I was sexually assaulted by a man from that website and I've been suicidal and depressed ever since. I noticed that the only men I attract on that website are creeps who want to rape me and use me like I am a slut. I long to meet a man who is religious and takes women on romantic dates. Is there something wrong with me if I only attract wicked people. I feel like I attract people who are like Adolf Hitler!

Something really scary happened to me last night. Last night, I was almost raped (I am a woman) and I am terrified. I am having panic symptoms and I feel like I am not safe. I've been crying very hard today. I feel so unsafe that I feel like I don't want to leave my house. I can't get this off my mind and I feel like I am going to have a breakdown. I also feel dirty and ugly because I've been treated like a whore since I was twelve years old. What can I do to forget about this?

I really need some help. I have been having stomach problems all my life and this is getting in the way of my life and schoolwork. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and depression and I am paralyzed with fear about the stomach problems getting worse. I am really scared because I am feeling unsafe. I feel so depressed that I don't want to eat anything. I feel like my stomach problems are not improving and this is making me severely depressed and anxious. I was so depressed that I self-harmed earlier. I don't know what to do....

Lately, I've been noticing some eccentric behavior from my two male cockatiels. It seems like every afternoon, I see one of them rubbing his vent on the perch, while the other bird mounts him. They repeat this ritual and after this, they climb on the bars and sing to me. Sometimes they do this twice or three times a day. Why are they doing that? Are they mating?!

All my life, I been told that I wouldn't be listened to because of my sex. When I was 10 years old, I been told that I shouldn't be any profession that is in a position of power. Please, I need advice on how to deal with misogynists in life, my brother acts like he hates women because he calls them horrible names.

I am having a very hard time. I am a survivor of alcohol poisoning and while healing, I discovered, while nearly six months of thinking, I want to convert and become Catholic. I began praying and I am very satisfied in my life. I have never been happier.

Some people in my family understand, but my mother abhors this plan. I got into a huge argument with her, telling her that all I want is to become a Catholic. I want this more than anything, I am severely depressed that I am not allowed to pursue this... I am crying so hard, my chest hurts that I could hardely breathe. My head hurts so bad from all this crying... Even drug addiction is accepted in my family. It seems like my family doesn't accept this positive event in my life. Roman Catholicism saved my life: I come from a background of sexual abuse and have been depressed all my life. When I pray, all that mental anguish goes away. I want to convert to Catholicism more than anything. How can I convert when people in my family don't want me to believe in the Holy Trinity and the Holy Mother, Mary? Do I have to continue living a lie and hide my religious beliefs? Do I have to hide and sink deeper into depression? How can I convert and become a member of the Church? I am 21 years old and I am transferring to a University next year.

I see peacocks all the time, and they have some of the most interesting calls. I heard a blue male make this honking sound (they tend to make this call in the early morning and night). Is this a locating call, or part of their mating call?

I have a dilemma. I have a few narcissistic relatives and they are very hard to deal with. They guilt trip and mulipulate me when I see them. Every time I see them, they say things to make me feel like I am a terrible person. They play the victim and make themselves feel like martyrs and make me feel disgusting and evil. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with people with that mental disorder?

I am a survivor of sexual abuse. I lived with a pedophile as a child, and was sexually molested, and have been sexually harassed many times. I was exposed to very adult matters, and I feel like my childhood was stolen from me. The aftermath is severe. I have violent tendencies, and I feel very vengeful. I suffer from severe depression, and jazz music is like a drug to me, it takes my mind from the post-traumatic stress. Is there any forum that I could talk to people who have been through the same things? I feel very disgusting and would harm myself if I was sexually assaulted, again. Please, I feel different from people my age. Only answer if you have gone through the same events.

My beautiful cockatiels respond to affection by singing to me. When I give them a kiss on the beak, they sing loudly. Also, they give me beak kisses, and they greet me with their songs. They cuddle with me. Are your birds affectionate? How do they show you that they love you?

I have 2 male cockatiels, and I had them for a long time. Everyday, in the afternoon, my cockatiels masturbate. One of them gyrates his tail and rubs it on a perch, while the other mounts him and rubs his bottom on him. After masturbating, they whistle very loudly. Is it common for birds to masturbate all the time?

I love them!!! They are breath-taking and gorgeous! This may sound crazy, but I love their shrill calls. When I see them, I think about Hindu mythology I read that portrays the peacock. What do you think about these majestic birds? If you get to view them in person, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

I think these celebrities are fake. Look at Michael Jackson. He was a handsome guy before he became white!!! Many celebrities are obsessed with plastic surgery! If I saw them in person, I would think I was on acid because they look like Barbie dolls. Bjork is my favorite celebrity today, she didn't go under the knife and she is beautiful. Who agrees that celebrities are losing their appeal and becoming fake zombies?

This is mainly for people with a Protestant family. Have any of you changed your religion from Protestant to something else? If so, how did your family react? I am really concerned because I am thinking about changing my religion. I talked to my brother, and he is really supportive. I am worried about my extended family finding out because they grew up Protestant and are from the South (U.S.) I am concerned because there is a lot of hatred down there and there is a lot of religious intolerance, and I heard some of my older relatives say negative things about non-whites and people from other countries. I am thinking about changing my religion because I can't relate to Protestantism at all because of its nationalism and things in the Bible that bother me. If you have changed your religion, please share your experience.

Cults are destructive. They brainwash people and take away their rights. What is it about cults attracting so many people?

I never heard of this, before? What is it? Is it some sort of religious cult?

I am a 20 year old who has always struggled with a speech impediment. This causes me a lot of grief and depression. In one of my classes, whenever I open my mouth, people laugh at me and mock me. This is getting out of hand, and is effecting my mental health. I get discriminated against and stereotyped all the time. I hate this about myself with a passion! Any advice on how to deal with discrimination?

I have a crush on Koga, the gym leader of Fuschia City!

I have a lot of favorites, but my favorite character is Koga, the gym leader of Fuscia City. I love ninjas because they are so mysterious and interesting. I have a huge crush on him!!! Anybody is welcome to share with me who their favorite Pokemon character is.
