    How Can I Stop Feeling Nervous/less Worthy Of The Type Of Girls I Want To Meet?

    I can flirt/approach (barely) girls I find mildly attractive but not really all the way. Ever since I was 13 (i'm 20 now) i've been settling for girls at "the bottom of the barrel" if you will... The girls i'm really attracted to I always get WAY to nervous and petrified to talk to. Part of...

    How Do I Stop Feeling Ashamed/angry At Everything? They Got Away With What They Did With No Revenge

    I can't let go because I associate letting go as cowardly. Like I didn't get my moment to do something back to them and if I just focus on recovering than that just means they got to dominate me and get away with it. I shouldn't of been used as a punching bag and emotional abuse toy for their...

    How Do I Stop Feeling Ashamed/angry At Everything? They Got Away With What They Did With No Revenge

    How Do I Stop Feeling Ashamed/angry At Everything? They Got Away With What They Did With No Revenge

    If you've already read my story/given me advice then this isn't anything really new other than some of the events I want to get off of my chest. I need to write these things down every once in a while so yeah here goes nothing... When I was really young (elementary school/middle school) I...

    I Can't Stop Being Angry And Ashamed Of Myself

    my brother and his gf were having a really nasty verbal fight and he was trying to force her to do things she didn't want to. My mom was trying to talk them down and he wouldn't stop yelling and being crazy and his gf was crying. Things were really out of hand and I lost it. I went in there and...

    What Do You Think Causes People To Act Like This? Do They Really Feel Pride And Glory?

    Would you say there are physical characteristics as to why you can be so violent/intimidating? (are you really tall or big?) or is it something in your character and the energy you give off? In other words, is the only way to give off that vibe to make even the worst people stand down, to be...

    What Do You Think Causes People To Act Like This? Do They Really Feel Pride And Glory?

    I agree with you that no matter what they went through is NO excuse to act the way they did. It's just when i find out more bad details about their life (which I have, such as them getting addicted to drugs, going to adult jail and crying like a bitch in the squad car, not ever getting a real...

    What Do You Think Causes People To Act Like This? Do They Really Feel Pride And Glory?

    This was YEARS ago hahaha, the only time I talk to these people is when I run into them in public, I only run into the ones that didn't really mess with me out of the group and we just say "OH HEY WOW IT'S BEEN SO LONG!" and go out seperate ways, I have a lot of anger and depression that i'm...

    What Do You Think Causes People To Act Like This? Do They Really Feel Pride And Glory?

    Are the people who try to go around everywhere looking for the smallest things to start beef (fights, arguments, drama, etc.) over insecure or something? I'm pretty short and I had a friend who was the same height as me who always felt the need to instigate fights with others or get into other...

    Can't Stop Feeling Ashamed/depressed About The Past And Feeling Insecure About Not Being A "man"

    In the area there wasn't really much thought about "moving forward" in terms of living a life within the law. People were just living in the now (or at least the group I was involved in ). It was admired to be drug dealer or offer some other illegal service because we were all teenagers and we...

    Can't Stop Feeling Ashamed/depressed About The Past And Feeling Insecure About Not Being A "man"

    I am actually not mad at the fact that they could have hurt me more I am mad at the fact that they had to dehumanize me and make me feel ashamed, like I wasn't a man. Thank you though, for pointing out the fact that I am NOT the same kid I was when I made those decisions it really helps because...

    Can't Stop Feeling Ashamed/depressed About The Past And Feeling Insecure About Not Being A "man"

    I wanted to be accepted by them because my whole life I fantasized being a gangster, dressing like people from the hood did, talking like they did and having that image or right to say "Yeah where I grew up was tough", I wanted to be accepted by them so I would get the respect that the tough...

    Can't Stop Feeling Ashamed/depressed About The Past And Feeling Insecure About Not Being A "man"

    @The Albatross You seem like someone who stood up for themselves and minded their own business, not someone who went around and instigated fights/talked shit to people. People like you are awesome for standing up for weaker/younger people. I guess I want to understand why the BULLIES act they...

    Can't Stop Feeling Ashamed/depressed About The Past And Feeling Insecure About Not Being A "man"

    @marylouise I've always more or less thought about it like how you said about them being mad at the world for being abused while growing up I just never believed it because they were the type of people that acted like nobody ever messed with them and they were invincible. I always tried to tell...

    Can't Stop Feeling Ashamed/depressed About The Past And Feeling Insecure About Not Being A "man"

    If you're going to say you don't believe me, just click on another question. Don't waste your time saying you don't believe in what I'm saying. Besides, who would take up THIS much time writing something fake? Haha sorry if I sound skeptical about this place but a lot of people have just talked...

    Barberian I've been meaning to take martial arts because I thought it would help me in the same way it helped your brother but it's not in the cards for me financially at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion though I'll keep it in mind.

    I am an 19 year old male and I have been diagnosed with Complex Ptsd. I have self-diagnosed myself with an inferiority (Napoleon) complex because I have all the classic symptoms: I’m short (5’2”), I have a short temper, I have really bad control issues (especially if the person telling me what...
