| I was curious as to whether other people found looking at people's eyes to be counter-productive to actually paying attention to what they're saying. Yes, that's what happens to me. When I try to make too much eye contact I start thinking of other things, like the color of the eye or hey! there's a... |

| Yep, me too. I love to be caressed and to caress. Unfortunately, never found someone similar... As for not liking being touched, I feel quite awkward when someone gets too close. I have a female coworker that leans over me when I show her something on the computer screen (she does it with others too... |

| Yes, copying it might work. If you still get these errors, you might want to complain to your provider or try to use the open DNS service that provides the servers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. |

| That kind of error usually is DNS related. The first time your browser tries to resolve a name it fails, subsequent requests work ok. Try using firefox, since it will give you the real error, not some masked error. Sometimes what fix this is to configure DNS servers directly into your router. Some r... |

| You see, I don't think this kind of behavior (bash others that are different) don't have anything to do with video games at all. It seems that people enjoy the feeling of belonging to some sort of group and they will speak ill of anyone who doesn't belong to their group. The video game thing is just... |

Congratulations! Living on a different culture for one years must be a very challenging experience but also a nice way to learn a lot about the world we live in, specially about the differences that exist.
Anxiety is quite normal, just don't freak out ok?
Good luck! |

| First, sorry to hear about your difficulty, Maggie. I understand you perfectly. Just this weekend my ex wife started an argument (she says I was rude "first" - that is important to her, who did it first), unfortunately I have to endure her since we have a daughter... Both posts stroke me a direct hi... |

| Yes, I get along better with women than with men. I share some common interests with men, but I have always liked more to talk to women, specially when the subjects are feelings and life itself. Women don't give you a strange look that says "hey men, what the heck are you talking about? Are you a si... |

| Happens to me too, and I know another person who also acts like this. No, I don't think it's lack of confidence, it is simply a different view of the world. Some people see the risks and don't take them, others don't see (or prefer not to think of them) and act as if everything is going to be allrig... |

| Life is what you see through your own eyes. If your eyes see it as something that kicks you, then it is. If it is something that gives you the opportunity to grow, so it is. |

| Well, I can tell you that I take ages to answer some types of questions, specially when it is related to something that I know I should say (to please the other person) but I just can't . Example: liked my dress? (Oh, God, no, I don't, but I can't say that!). I get really slippery when things like t... |

However I think a serious relationship would probably overpower even my current interest for clothes and become my new special interest. I advise against going the way to exchange your ... |

| I pretty much agree with these results. For a long time I thought that I had no feelings of mine. I always sensed that I was myself only when alone exactly because I can be very influenced by the feelings of other people to the extend that I "get lost". Earlier this year I came across the word asper... |
