I want to thank my friends who were here for me today. You were there without asking. That means so much to me. I am grateful to have a friend who is there for me when I need them. Know that I am here for you too. You calmed me down when I didn't know what to do.
Thank you,

I am alone again on Saturday night. But this time, instead of telling myself its because no one likes me or because I am unloveable, I will tell myself that I am loved, if only by myself. I am better of with no one then with people who mistreat me or take advantage of my kindness without reciprocating.
I am so tired of people telling me I need to make friends. Its like telling someone smoki... -

I need help that i can't get right now, something to do that i can't find right now, and something to live for, of course i dont have one of those. I thought that, perhaps, Mace was enough. Pe...

I sometims think my oldest son Brad is my 'forgotten child.' By that I mean he is perhaps the easiest of the children to take care of. He doesn't need much motivation to do well in school. He isn't a discipline problem. He doesn't get caught up in all the boy/girl drama that can happen with an 11 year old. He's just a good child. My youngest son seldom stops talking, my st...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

Dear Friends,
i haven't had a car since last year. He got all of the vehicles bc he needed them for work. There is a chance that I can get one down here. Please say a prayer that I will be picked. It is a chance for me to get some freedom back. I would be able to take my children where they need to go. I wouldn't have to rely on others for rides. Please pray they pick me.
Thank you,
Verukas

not doing well at all.... I thought things were better earlier, but they're not. Jeff called and asked for an advance from Rajan and got it. I recalculated our budget once I start collecting unemplyment next month and it's brutal... we'll need at least $2k to make monthly payments to keep our current lifestyle, and that's not to taking into account baby costs.

I had to use most of my saved money for my plane trip bills.
I will have to start up saving again after my next plane trip I'm
going on in a week.
But I still have more trip bills to pay though
need to use all my saving I guess.
But it's OK I will continue saving and start over for my future.1 Recommendation

Shyness Information
Shyness is a feeling of insecurity that certain people experience while being among others, talking with others, asking favors of others, etc.
Shyness is most likely to occur during unfamiliar situations. Since many shy people thus avoid these situations in order to avoid feeling uncomfortable and inept, the situation remains unfamiliar and the shyness perpetuates itself. Shyness may also fade with time. A child who is shy toward strangers, for instance, may eventually come to lose this trait when older.
The initial cause of shyness can vary. Scientists have located some genetic data that supports the hypothesis that shyness is at least partially genetic. However, there is also evidence that the environment in which a person is raised can affect their shyness. Shyness can originate after a person has experienced a physical anxiety reaction; at other times, shyness seems to develop first and then later causes physical symptoms of anxiety.
See more Shyness Information.
