| Well, it can make me very shaky and nervous. :lol: I had that experience when I travelled to the Middle East, because there they do not drink 'coffee', there they drink a thick syrupy divine 'potion', boiled up three times with lots of sugar and green cardamom, which is served in minute little cups... |

| Make-up and nice clothes only get ruined during play-fight, speaking from experience, :wink: . Your friend's behaviour would have been more appropriate, if you had asked for his 'fatherly' advice after pining for ages for your love interest, who showed no interest in you.

| Sorry to hear you have been left hanging out to dry, not a nice feeling, :cry:. Did you tell him openly that you were not interested in a romantic relationship? From your post it does become clear that you were clear about your feelings for him towards yourself, but did you let him know? If he is NT... |

| You do realize that performance on intensive tasks is best when someone is slightly stressed, right? Stress is not necessarily a bad thing. No stress and extreme stress will both degrade performance... mild stress tends to enhance it. I did not realize that oxytocin was not an entirely good thing e... |

| I also look at first at the headlight area/ front of the car, but for a very practical reason. I'd rather rely on the fact that the car actually physically stopped before I start crossing over than on a smiling driver, who could be smiling at the pretty girl/boy behind me and not brake at all :lol:... |

Could your physical pain have to do with the fact that you are sleeping a lot?
When you are asleep your body does not move as much and muscles can start to ache. |
