This sounds like depression. Have you told anyone you trust about it? It really sucks feeling "not okay" and not being able to tell someone. For me, a therapist and meds were really able to help with that. May you be happy, prosperous, peaceful, safe, loved, and free of all physical and mental suffering in your future. ❤️ If you don't have anyone in your life you feel comfortable talking to, here is a totally free resource I was considering using for myself where you can simply talk to someone and/or get some advice on what may make you feel better: https://www.thehopeline.com/about-us/?utm_source=topmenu&utm_medium=aboutus&utm_campaign=aboutustopmenu

Most people are afraid of what they don't understand... including hallucinations, Imagination and psychosis.

In NJ there is less bullying because of Mallory’s law, Mallory is a 10 year old girl who committed suicide due to bullying so they keep the bullying laws stricter to prevent it from happening again. Sometimes I doubt it’s working.

Yes! They would come on.

Take it all in. Enjoy the small things as much as the big ones...but if you ever feel uncomfortable by all means excuse yourself, mention it, or just leave. I remember my first week away at college and I went to a party with multiple girls (I am female). We were all drinking and all of a sudden I looked around and I was the only female left. All the males were very nice and friendly, but I did not know them. I told them that I was going to leave and my honest reason and left. They all seemed to completely understand.

Quite simply: because your parents had sex. But I am assuming that you are looking for a deeper answer than that.

As a denizen of Hell, I can let you know: there is no place for you down here. Seriously, the overpopulation is a problem.

Because some people are just d***s!

Simplest way to explain it: The bird would stay in the same position within the car because it's in and enclosed environment and not connected to the car. You can try it with a ball, sit in the back seat and gently toss the ball straight up, the ball will come straight down. The ball is already moving at the same speed as the car so is moving with it but isn't affected by outside forces. Tie some string around the ball and fix it to the roof of the car and it will swing with the movement of the car (but eventually settle if you keep driving straight) because it's connected and feels the forces that the car feels. More complicated answer is too long to fit in the comments box and is all about 'Relative Velocity', but still, check out this vid to see it in action : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeqMsf66-mY

Call that a Honey Nut Cheerio

We truly still don't know. There are a few leading theories out there. One is that sleep is needed so we can sort and parse all the info we learn in a day, pruning or reinforcing neural connections. Another is that it is part of the brain's healing/immune response (separate from our body's immune system) and that during sleep cerebrospinal fluid "washes" our brain. I'm not up to speed on that research, though...

Spoken like a true Scorpio. JK I don't know anything about astrology

Well shelled eggs evolved about 325 million years ago. The first animals that we classify as birds didn't evolve until 65 million years ago. And the domesticated chicken is only a few thousand years old. So eggs came first.

Haha! I love this one. Come on someone! Just do it and comment. We wanna see it. lol

It depends on the age, I think. If you're talking about teenagers, then it could be likely they're just trying to navigate life and hormones, and figure out who they are. They're bound to mess up once in a while.

I think love is such a powerful emotion, that it doesn't just feel like one thing. It's nuanced. When I'm playing with my dogs and they're all goofy, zoomie, tail-wagging, what I feel is love. When my husband makes me laugh, I feel love, but in a different way. When my son was small and he'd hold my hand, I felt love, also in a different way. When I was an artist and I created something beautiful, I felt love for the process. Love is faceted, it can be big or small, loud or quiet...but it's all good, no matter how you experience it.

Your brain is hard-wired to focus on unpleasant results, possibly as a left-over evolutionary tactic to avoid dangerous situations. We have to make a real effort to pay attention to everyday pleasantness, in everything from nice food to good music to happy people. I like to think of it as spiting my ancestors.

I've just simply said "yes"

Chances are the world, while dying, won’t end in your lifetime. You don’t want to get to the end of your life, decades from now, and realize you never lived or took risks expecting it was all going to end. There’s evil in this world, but there’s also a lot of beauty and joy. Seek it out. Help one another. Improve the world around you. Then you’ll have lived a good life and will meet your end with peace.

You're a past alcoholic.

IMO home is where your family is, blood related or not. I personally have had to cut out toxic blood related family members, because they were draining on my mental health like hell. My family and my home are my significant other, my closest friends, my children all of whom I love dearly, trust with my life. My home is always open to them, no matter the day or time and no matter what is going on, in their life, they know, I am a safe place for them. That to me is home.

Reach out

Stress, burn out, life, money issues, job, kids, inflation, work life balance with no time to actually recharge. Just a few thoughts.

At a certain age, you're just happy when you can do #2 at all. Let's not get overly concerned with the details.

They smell the paper?

Sporn not spoken argh autocorrect was not intelligent design, this I do know.

No one dear sister, I suggest you find a better hiding place than your lipstick case. Lest your little brother spill your secrets.

The purpose of daylight savings time is to ration oil and coal, as those are needed for the war effort in Europe and the Pacific. Don't worry though. As soon as we win victory against the Nazis and Japanese Empire, I'm sure we'll go back to normal sleeping schedules. I mean politicians wouldn't keep such a ridiculous thing going when so many people hate it, just because they can't be bothered to do something. I'm sure, once this Second World War is finished, they'll sorry it right out. Right?

I don't think we can truly know what happens after death until we experience. What I believe though, is that there is a heaven (though I think this just means there is a place outside of the living realm where our consciousness stays, but we no longer have a need for feelings or anything). I believe everyone, regardless of faith (or lack of) has the opportunity to go there if they have lived a moral life. I also do not believe in hell, I believe if you don't go to heaven then you just cease to exist, both in body and consciousness.

What percentages are we looking at ? ... say ... per capita ? 10%...20% ...?

We are all affected by politics so maybe it's because it's common ground? We all understand it to a degree. Abortion is not an ideal but is necessary in some situations. A good example of that would be abortion after rape. But I believe that if a woman does not feel ready to carry a child to term then she should be able to make that choice without question. It's her body and nobody elses. Regarding religion, people make their own minds up based on the information they have. It isn't your, or anyone else's, place to tell people what they should believe in. If it was such a hot ticket anyway, people would be falling over themselves to get into church.
