Do you like to have a lot of friends or just a few intimite ones

8 responses •

2 people

michael_walsh I like to have very few intimate friends because I don't think I can disclose a lot of personal information to many people. It's something that's out of my comfort zone. I don't really feel the need to have many friends.

How do you over come shyness to meet people and make friends?

SallyAnna @SallyAnna (142) • United States 14 Oct 09

I am basically a shy person and find it hard to make new friends. I find myself feeling a bit nervous and I"m sure it shows. How do you work past your...

michael_walsh Hey Sallyanna, Sometimes making friends is the scariest thing in the world but there really is no way of escaping it. I used to be quite nervous and then would just force myself to say something. Anything. "Hey, how's it going?" works nicely.

michael_walsh I know how you feel. I've moved about 16 times and I think there will be many more moves to come. It's stressful, costly, and just generally sucks.

Flat roofing with roof deck or traditional roofing?

kafueenu @kafueenu (1073) • Philippines 13 Oct 09

What I mean with traditional roofing are the triangle shaped ones, technically

choice

house

roof

1 response

michael_walsh I agree with you, traditional roofing looks better and is also more practical. Flat roofing causes problems further down the line because rain water collects and there is no triangle that makes it slide off.

Really? Is Marriage OverRated?!

neededhope @neededhope (1085) • United States 31 Aug 09

I really do feel marriage is overated. I mean think about it. You get married usually because you love them. So why can't you just stay togetheir and not get married. You get married because of health benefits or insurance or...

michael_walsh I think these days it's a personal choice. I like being married but then again nothing between us has changed. The wedding day was just a celebration and being married is the next step from fiance to husband. I love waking up everyday and seeing my wife, it...

michael_walsh Living situations and titles (ie married, engaged) have nothing to do with breaking up. People break up for many reasons but i don't really think they have much to do with those options.

michael_walsh A marriage is just a way of celebrating your love. It should not determine what your relationship is like.

michael_walsh I can't say much has changed for us. We lived together for a while before we got married though, so that may be why. The way we behave hasn't changed. We saw eachother as equals before the marriage and still do after. I think a marriage is a celebration of...

michael_walsh I got married to my wife when I was 22 and she was 19. Most people would say that's young and statistics aren't much in our favour when it comes to those ages but we were ready and are doing really well. We didn't do it to raise a family or anything like that,...

michael_walsh Well sometimes even the location of the wedding can make it unique. I had mine in Barbados which was thousands of miles away from where I live so I thought that was pretty different. Essentially all weddings have the same things like the vows but you can...

michael_walsh Of course love means sacrifices. There need to be compromises all the time. Loving you for who you are has nothing to do with marriage or relationships. It's very niave to think that you will get things the way you want them just because your partner loves...

College Education

Boboy2 @Boboy2 (62) • Philippines 7 Oct 09

It is important for an individual to have gotten a college degree. My grandfather told me that it was a waste to pursue a further education since what has been significant for anybody is to start a business. I thought otherwise...

study with businesslike approach

michael_walsh I think a university degree is very important especially to make oneself more competitive in this horrible economic climate. It's good to know that you are very confident upon completion.

michael_walsh I have an equal role to my wife. We both keep the household together and strong. We both work and spread the chores evenly. I don't like the sound of "family roles" it's pretty creepy to put someone at the top and say that that person is the family's lifeline....

michael_walsh Hey Falmar, Real love is not perfect and fights happen a lot. In my oppinion it's not just a feeling. It's hard work and both people should feel like that work is worth while. When you fight, do you feel confident that it's just a fight and your...

What is real love for you?

areshstar @areshstar (60) • Philippines 25 Sep 09

michael_walsh I think real love is when you're willing to put incredibly hard work into the relationship everyday and show a great deal of understanding and acceptance without trying to change your partner. True love is equality without any kind of gender prejudices. It's...
