| I sometimes feel the same, but don't know of any way to stop them short of dying or, as Verdandi stated, brain injury. Not very good options, unfortunately. I have had limited success with mindfulness meditation when I begin to feel overwhelmed by negative emotions. It may be worth looking into. The... |

| At work I keep to myself as much as possible. Outside of work I have zero friends, and for the most part enjoy the solitude. My interests are all solitary activities anyway (reading, taking walks, totally immersing myself in music or a movie, etc.), so friends aren't something I feel a need for. Hav... |

| I'd only hate you if you gave me a really good reason to. Same as anyone else. I haven't seen a post from you that I felt I had a suitable response to (besides this, of course), but when I do I'll be sure to respond. |

According to IMDb, the release date is June 22, 2012. Leave it to Disney to start promoting it a full year in advance. I hate when they do that! |

| I feel the same way. Depression hit me pretty hard around 3 years ago, but I couldn't afford to go to therapy. Instead, I started reading whatever books I could find on depression and anxiety, and over the next several months my mind taught itself not to spiral out of control with negative thoughts,... |

| I've never heard of Old People Syndrome. What is it? I would describe it as the tendency of old people to wander aimlessly through malls for hours, only stopping occasionally to either use the rest facilities or go to the food court for some coffee and a danish. If it's what I had, it mysteriously ... |

| I suppose they feel the need for movement on a larger scale, beyond the range of normal body movements. In my late teens and early twenties I frequently went to malls and walked continuously back and forth from end to end for maybe 2 hours or so. I rarely went into any stores- just walked. I never r... |

| 88% For Me: You are beyond shy - you most likely have a social phobia. Social events give you deep anxiety. You can't deal with being around other people. Your social phobia is completely taking over your life, and it's not pleasant. Seek help, and you'll be able to enjoy life instead of fearing it.... |

I also hesitate to knock on doors, ring doorbells or call anyone on the phone for fear I may be inconveniencing them, eve... |

Azure Ray. Classified as 'Southern Dream Pop', a genre I'd not heard of before, but I love it!

| I'm just the opposite. I can follow directions if they're not too complex and explained reasonably clearly. But if someone asks me, I can't give them however hard I try. Even local routes that I could get in my car and drive to right at that moment, I can't explain to someone else. At least not unti... |

| In these situations, both parties will likely part ways feeling used. I re-read my earlier post and realized it was pretty one sided. The fact is I was using these women as much as they were using me. Maybe more so, as I wasn't the one with a failing marriage to deal with. At the time, I couldn't a... |
