rubired I just had one of those feelings a couple of days ago. I went to sit outside at night for a while. I hadn't done that in quite a while. I was looking around. There was nobody in sight. The moon was full, and there were beautiful white clouds passing by....

rubired I can relate to you in that way. I'm not jealous (and I also comment on other girls when sees them:D) But when there's that snobby girl who even tries to touch him, it kinda gets me jealous. But I've been trying to think of it another way: These girls can...

What do you do when he says "I love you" too soon.

AmyBethYes @AmyBethYes (96) • United States 3 Oct 08

It's happened multiple times in my case. There's the strange ones that one day after you meet them are calling you at three in the morning to say they miss and love you...then there's the ones who wait at least a week before...

rubired This guy told me that too. I, uhm, just smiled back, hugged him (to let him know I appreciate it, but to get the point that I'm not "there" yet.), and continued on with another subject. Hope he didn't feel rejected or bad in any way :P

Do you smile often ?

bugbaby @bugbaby (1787) • Indonesia 16 Oct 08

Not to often or people will think I have problems! I smile when its appropriate and it is often, it keeps me confident for one and makes others smile as well.

rubired When I'm alone, and I catch myself frowning, I try to smile and keep it on. For some reason, when I'm frowning, it just gets me really unenergized and dull. But when I smile, it makes me feel happier and more hyper. And when I'm out, I try to do the...

Bigger is better

Katinka @Katinka (61) • South Africa 16 Oct 08

Do you prefer a small mug or a really big mug? I drink a lot of coffee throughout the day. Sometimes I even drink 2 or 3 cups of coffee in a row!! Recently a friend gave me a 500ml coffee mug, and I love it!! I use it in the...

rubired I wouldn't care back then. But my mom got me in the habit of drinking a good amount of coffee :P She also drinks that much coffee. And she still says it's not big enough! Huge mugs fascinate her. If she sees an even bigger one, I know she'll buy it!

"One Chooses to Be Happy or Sad in Circumstance" Would you agree at all?

Helios @Helios (85) • United States 16 Oct 08

This line would imply that no matter what has happened to us, ultimately we are responsible for our state of mind, whether happy or not. Sometimes I believe this but I do not believe it to be universal. Surely ones outlook...

rubired I agree. Many people decide to make themselves miserable, when they can always smile, and improve the situation. Yes, there are times when we can't change things, and we feel helpless. Like a love loss, or death. But we have to say to ourselves,"This will...

rubired I listen to some music. But I mostly think about people who were/are in worse situations than I and made it out alive and stronger. Those are the one's who encourage me :)

do you get shy when someone stares at you?

ronreyes @ronreyes (4724) • Philippines 13 May 07

I, myself, is a very shy person. It's been a part of my personality ever since I was a kid. I think it's natural! I know a lot of us also feel the same way when someone stares at us especially when they stare from head to...

rubired I remember when I was about thirteen, this police officer thought I was 17-20 :P And till this day, people still think I'm older. It's probably because I'm much taller than others of my age. I'm 5'8-9". Or...maybe not :P. My way of acting maybe. I...

Honestly, what do you think of nerds?

ronreyes @ronreyes (4724) • Philippines 14 Oct 08

rubired No, there's nothing wrong with nerds. Society label nerds as, what you described, dull and/or boring. And that's not true. I've seen many nerds who are very attractive and charming. And I actually think nerds are kinda cute :D

ronaldinu @ronaldinu (12422) • Malta 14 Oct 08

rubired My mom sees useful things in dumpsters or right next to it, and takes it :D. Not only for her use, but if she knows many people who will probably need it (which she does), she'll save it, and whenever she sees them, she'll give it to them. And we NEVER throw...

Do you ever give books away?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160883) • United States 10 Oct 08

How do you control your anger?

limcyjain @limcyjain (3516) • India 2 Oct 08

One does get angry at times and during this time if one does not control oneself and try to find an amicable solution to the problems the ultimate results are bad. One needs to keep one's emotions under control and study the...
