I can't believe Top Gear did a road test so close to me. Man, i wish i had gone driving that day.

I guess. In those cases, if you really feel you have to say something, then it's akin to taking a risk. So, take a risk and say what's on your mind, whether or not you feel it's going to be the right and wrong thing to say. I say stupid, uninteresting, and unusual things all the time, and people still talk to me, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Isn't that illegal? The kids should definitely have their seat belts on, because they could be seriously injured or die if a crash occurs, or even some sudden braking.

For you to invite this guy to dinner, he must be pretty special. Good luck.

She's a wack job. 2 years ago one of them unbuckled their child seat and unlocked the door as we were about to drive unto the highway and I look back in the car seat is flying out the door and the door just open, air in my face while she's just speeding and listening to her idiot bump bump music. Luckily she was not hurt or ran over, an old man stopped ran out to help the child. My sister gets back in the car after the indecent happened and starts laughing about it on the phone to her friend. Now she has child lock on her door, but still. I have yelled at my sister so much, it is not doing anything, because she is a nut job. I think she's a psychopath because she is intelligent, but she does not have emotions where there are supposed to be emotions. It makes me so mad every time It think about it, my mother is only close to her because she is scared where her grand kids might end up. Long story with more crap. See this is why I need my therapist because I am ranting about this, no matter how much I break down and try to talk, it does nothing. (-_-)

Wow, I'm so sorry. I can see it affects you a lot, as it would affect me, too. The kids are close to killing themselves with their actions, and your sister is doing nothing to stop the behaviour.

You say there's no emotions where there should be emotions. That could indicate some kind of mental imbalance. I wonder what that could be, though. Hopefully you can talk to someone about this because you don't want to have it eating away at you forever.

I hadn't heard this is so long. Still as funny as ever.

Mikey C, you're an amazing human being, the world needs Mikey's!

MikeyC

Aw, shucks. The world needs more Beleza's, too!

So I left home a little earlier before work to get some petrol on the way. I put some in my car, only to then find out that I left my wallet at home. I had to call my brother to get it and drive to the petrol station to give it to me. I was lucky he was even home in the first place.

I know I shouldn't worry about it, as these things happen (even the guy working at the petrol station said that), but I can't help but feel stupid about it. I'm dwelling on this mistake, and have done for the past 4 hours. I need to get over it but my mind won't let me. Stupid thing.

I don't understand why I convince myself it is so difficult to act, well rationally. Today was the second day of orientation, I wake up early, get all ready to go, walk down to the bus station, get on the shuttle. I was the only one on the shuttle, unfortunately, bus driver asked where to drop me off and I was okay. Being the only one I had no one to follow to the check in though, and I didn't know where to do. There were no signs anywhere telling me where to go. I saw people walking, tried to follow them, but I was pretty sure there were to check-ins - one for commuters, and one for residents. Couldn't find the one for commuters. At first I just walked around trying to find it on my own - that's just me not wanting to admit I can't figure it out on my own. Then once I decide I can't, it seems logical to ask one of the many, many people around there to help new students. Instead I keep looking on my own, hoping to find someone I can follow, until I finally just go home.

It's not like I'm incapable of asking a simple question, it's an honest question and even if it would be a stupid one (which it probably isn't) it would have been over in 30 seconds. Am I so prideful I can't admit I didn't know something? I always act like I know where I'm going, maybe they saw me and by asking for help they would have thought me stupid for waiting so long to ask. Or maybe I'm embarrassed that I took so long to ask and think they would think the same. Either way it's super pathetic and now I have make up some training I missed by not being there right now. I'm going to call for jobs today at least now that I'm home so I don't feel like a total loser.

I'm a stranger to myself

It could have been a mixture of those things. I think pride in particular plays a big part in the face of strong uncertainty/embarrassment. Your gut feeling says something, and your mind simply goes ''..Nope, that's not true.''. Like a weird internal struggle.

It's not even so much a flaw with you personally, I think many here can testify that when we're in danger of exposing ourselves negatively, we go into denial to try preserve pride. Tricking ourselves into thinking that we have to be more capable then we in reality need to be. I did. Many, many times.

Try again again next time. And if you can't, do it the time after that. Ect.

Oh, and I saw you look. Just hug him. You know you want to.
Go on. He'll only bite a little bit.
