Self esteem and self confidence issues

thatsjvl @jvincent_129 (4994) • Philippines 12 Feb 18

The statement below reminded me of some other things. I am reaching age of 30 and I sometimes feel like I havent achieved anything. The thing is no matter how hard you try, its not gonna be perfect. Thats what I learn in my 20s....

Albert Rementer Self-esteem and self-confidence are two different ideas. You may lack self-esteem but have self-confidence in your driving, or your job or a number of things. The reverse is also possible where that you have self-esteem but lack confidence in some areas...

Albert Rementer I wonder sometimes why we feel a need to qualify or quantify love like it's a commodity or something. I feel love is one of the rare qualities in life that can not be measured. I think the question in most cases is, what do you define as love? Looking at the...

You Racist Yoga Practitioners!!!

Four Walls @FourWalls (68132) • United States 29 Jan 18

You have got to be excrementing me. I saw this headline: “Professor claims practicing yoga contributes to white supremacy.” If you’re like me, the first thing you thought is, “Oh, that wacky spoof site “The Onion” is at...

Albert Rementer When I read this article, I could not help but making comparisons to the ancient Chinese martial arts. Here can be found another form of self-exploration that involves mind, body and spirit and you could also say it has been exploited in western civilization...

Albert Rementer I find the confusion to be found more in what each person might define romantic love to be. For me ... love is love. We certainly placed priorities on who we might love more, parents, children, friends and even significant other. The priority normally relates...

Albert Rementer The whole "I don't love you anymore" concept is one I never understood ... especially if one person blames it on the other person's weight. I see the societal influence on people when it comes to appearance and weight but when people try to determine or...

One week until the Super Bowl

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119663) • United States 28 Jan 18

Will you be watching? It is a big deal in this area as a local team, the Philadelphia Eagles, will be playing. We actually have 3 local teams—the Eagles, Jets, and Giants—so usually the Jets and Giants fans are busy hating the...

Cover Me: Who did it better?

Callie Brown @calliealldaylong (7) 27 Jan 18

I love cover songs. I love hearing people's interpretation of music they love and how it can be moved forward by being re-imagined like this. I used to say I didn't like cover bands since they usually tried to sound like the...

Albert Rementer I am very critical when it comes to cover versions of songs. With certain songs it is very difficult to capture the emotion of the original artist or band and often covers fail. But the cover you attached here is excellent. I enjoy watching Morgan James who is...

Can 2 people be friends after a breakup?

Diana @dya80dya (36658) 27 Jan 18

I am curious if two people can be friends after separation. I met some people that are enemies after breakup. And they had children.

Albert Rementer So many factors come into play when you ask this question. How long was the couple together, what caused the break-up/separation, do they have kids together, does the couple as individuals share friendships in a group,etc? When it comes to kids being involved,...

Check out this Eagles light display on a fan’s house

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119663) • United States 26 Jan 18

Apparently this guy just adapted some of his Christmas lights. I think the “Fly Eagles Fly” team song was already synced to the light show. Obviously this is in honor of the Philadelphia Eagles making it to the Super Bowl next...

Albert Rementer Independent thinking is a skill developed over time where that we question the status quo from the classroom to the media outlets, both social and professional. We don't assume the truth, rather we question what the underlying actions are that prove a truth or...

Albert Rementer I am not one to lend a lot of money so I don't find myself worried about such a thing. But when I have lent money I would always ask when I should expect repayment. If they do not keep their word, than I don't ask again. If this person cared enough about our...

Albert Rementer My answer to this question a few weeks ago would have been ..... ABSOLUTELY NOT! But ... being from Philadelphia and our Eagles have never won the Super Bowl ... If I had the money and could bring my kids, I would go in a heartbeat and pay that much.

Is it important to have closure in every breakup?

What'sUp_Cel @rheicel (7065) • Philippines 25 Jan 18

A closure is important whenever breakup happens. Nobody wants to hold any grudges with your past relationships but what if you had a bad breakup and you had no chance to talk over again because you’d experienced so much pain....

Albert Rementer What some people see as closure is really an acceptable reason for the break up. Let's face it, everyone is different and acceptance is going to be different for everyone as well. I think many professionals would agree that closure is necessary and healthy...
