My kids always complain that they hate the bars on the windows, triple-bolted door locks on every room, torture dungeon beneath the house, daily whippings and beatings, and eating a diet of nutrition paste. I also have 24 hour security with guard dogs and the like. You think I'm being a tad harsh on them? I think I'm a good dad and it's all for the best. Advice needed.

He can offer me so much money, but he wants me to get tattoos on my penis and buttocks saying I'm his property, dress like a lady in dresses whenever I go out in public, piercings in those areas, and drag me on a leash in public. He is trying to guilt me into this by saying how sad he is. (all this through text). Should I feel guilty if I don't go with him? I am also a guy (a gay guy) who identifies as a guy. what a worthless site this is. i can't even ask an honest question without getting insulted and condescended. thanks people.

Okay, so I don t know what her problem is seriously. She s an electrical engineering professor and we don t even talk that much when we have that subject, and she says you should talk more. I don t talk a lot, I m definitely not a guy that talks a lot or make jokes all the time but none or less I do talk, I don t think I have social anxiety or something. Whenever they say "Talk more, you don t talk a lot, don t be scared" they actually make me mad, what should I reply with? It s like they are mocking me, anyone that can help me please answer :) Sorry I didn't know what category to put it, so if it's wrong, my mistake, forgive me xD.

I broke up with him because I feel like he needs time to sort things out & that was his response. He says he can't bare to break up or deal with this. Seeing me hurt would haunt him. But he realises he needs to sort his life out & it's a big mess. He's angry at himself because he thinks the world of me. He can't cope with everything & doesn't want to be unfair to me. It hurts every time he thinks about it. Is there a chance we could make it work in the future? If we bot care for each other & have respect for each other. He's in his early thirties, and needs to sort things out in his life. He's not been online & says seeing me upset will haunt him. I miss him & it's only been a week. Is there hope for us again possibly? He's 32, Im 28.

So let's say this first, I have a good friends and a girlfriend that I do spend time with at school and once in awhile in my free time. However, most days and nights I find myself pretty lonely, including at school since my friends and girlfriend are in other classes. Now, I work hard on my appearance, I stay in shape by exercising and eating right, and I dress to impress, so most days I feel confident in my skin. Unfortunately, I do have social anxiety issues, and it is a pain too even approach new people. However, whenever people speak with me (even though it's rare) I am always calm, polite and quite nice too them. Here is the question, I feel incredibly lonely and I hardly ever get complimented on, and it hurts a lot mainly because I do work hard on my appearance, and I always feel invisible wherever I go. Now don't get me wrong, I dress nicely and stay fit for myself, I am not doing this so I can have people try flirting with me or something. It just feels saddening wherever I go, I never come across anyone ever wanting to even look at me, and it hurts deeply. This isn't me trying to get the laddies or anything, I have a girlfriend, and I love her deeply. I just am terribly saddened by the reality I face everyday going to school, the store, or in public at all. I feel invisible, I feel no one cares to even compliment me, speak with me, or even look at me. I know I sound needy, it's just a problem I face everyday, and I haven't found a way to fix it.

She is a teacher that is like a school mom to me and I go to her with my problems and we have a close relationship, But I would like to know how to make it stronger and more lasting.

I think my parents are way too strict, and my friends all know me as the guy who can never do anything because I'm not allowed to... but my parents remain adamant that they are just "doing the best for me." I am a 15 years 8 month old male, and do well in school (A's and B's) at a private high school that is well known and respected. To put this in perspective, My bedtime is at 10:00 on weekdays On weekends and break, I get to have 3 hours of screentime per day (TV, YouTube, and videogames added up) (Videogames are my hobby, and I play with friends a lot) I don't have the admin password to my computer My parents set up K9 Web Protection and OpenDNS to block up all open image/media sites, pornography, and whatever sites they choose (so imgur, giffy, 4chan, 9gag, xhamster, etc all blocked) There is a "NestCam" set up in my computer room that can livestream and record to my dad's phone, to monitor what I do in that room No games on weekdays (reasonable) I can't ride in cars or golfcarts when anyone with less than 1 year in their license is driving (this is the law, but still bums me out when I can't go to something because of it) never allowed to have people over In order to do anything with friends, my parents need many hours notice Can't play M rated games or watch R rated movies There are definitely more things here but none come to mind right now... So... Is this strict, or just good parenting?

Me and my gf have been together for 5 years. Im not going to go into details but shes very controling now its worse then ever.. Im a biology major college student, a fraternity member, and a football player.. So my schedule is full.. Whenever I have free time I try to spen most of it with her.. When we are together we have fun but every now and then she ruins the happiness with her random mood swings, these mood swings are horrible.. Agreeing with her makes it worse , trying to make her feel better makes it worse, ignoring it definitely makes it worse.. Then basically were arguing for the rest of the day.. She gets mad when i go to practice, weights, tutoring, meetings or events for my frat.. She says I put them first.. When in reality practice is 2hrs long 3 times a week.. Tutoring is an hour long and i only go when i don't understand something.. And sometimes i just don't want to be around all the time its not healthy and she doesnt understand that. I spend a maximum of 3 hours with my friends or frat brothers whatever days i get the chance too. Basically I feel like I have to ask permission to go hang out with them.. And she calls that putting them before her.. She works 8am wed thurs .. The only days she doesn't see me.. Friday-tues were together like 24/7.. But some how when i feel like being around my friends or doing something productive.. It's putting them before her.. She manipulates herself into making herself innocent while im guilty..

2nd part to the question: should I go alone? :( My boyfriend and I have been together for seven years and he knows that a certain famous band has been my absolute favorite my entire life. They just announced a summer tour which will most likely be their last (been touring since the 70s). We've gone to many concerts together before and while I understand he doesn't like this band's music and he isn't a crowd person, this is my favorite band!!! Most importantly: the concert is about an hour or so away, and I would have to take some sort of public transportation or a Greyhound/Megabus there. ALONE. He says he doesn't feel comfortable with me being so far from home all by myself yet he won't offer to go with me and acts super uninterested in the topic when I bring it up. I can't miss this concert but I'm also kinda afraid to go that far away all by myself as a 23 year old girl. Shouldn't I be mad about this?!

I am 17 and just spent spring break with my aunt and uncle in Arizona. . . My uncle could not keep his hands off of me. We did not have sex but he sure wanted to. . but he kept feeling me up around my boobs and I a am a "C" and rubbing my legs. I do not want to start anything but please give me some smart remarks to get back at him. I will see him again in June.

My best friend from the 5th grade isn't texting me first. I just saw him at the store about 3 months ago. We gave each other are numbers. He never texted for while so I decided to text him. After I text him we have conversations and talk. He never talks to me first. Does this mean that he doesn't want to talk to me as much? Or is he shy?

Hi everyone. A quick background...I was in a verbally abusive and controlling relationship for 8 years. I got up the courage to leave the relationship after we went on vacation to FL and it went horribly and he treated me like ****. The relationship was VERY controlling and he kept trying to bring me back and would convince me our relationship was what I needed. I do admit I had my rose colored glasses on full blast. When I left he started dating someone literally the next day and rubbed their relationship in my face for far too long (telling me all about their sex life, vacations, etc.). He would go for weeks without saying a word to me and then he would feel bad and "miss" me and contact me whatever way he could to tell me how sorry he is and it was his fault and he wants me back (which he is out with his girlfriend). When I say I can t go back to a relationship we had he verbally attacks me and says he will ruin my life and everything is my fault and I made him miserable and I am telling everyone only one side of the story. There is a LOT more to this and I sat by him side through everything...even his "punishment" to not take me out or do anything with me but fall asleep while I watched a movie because I wasn t doing things he expected from me. Needless to say our relationship was extremely unhealthy. After months of therapy and medication for my anxiety and depression I feel a lot better, but I am not where I want to be and I agree with everyone I need to block ALL contact. I have blocked on facebook, blocked on snap chat. Idk how to block on hotmail (yes he emails me now!) and I added him to spam on my phone but his texts go to my spam inbox and calls still come through. I have Tmobile and Galaxy s 5. How do I block his texts and calls for good? Is there an app? THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ANYONE WHO HAS AN IDEA OF HOW TO HELP

Hiya! I m a 14 (almost 15) year old girl, who has a problem with anxiety....I d love to share my thoughts and how I think of things, but I can t. Whenever I try, I go straight for it, but my heart tries to beat its way out of my chest, along with my trembling, then my mind goes blank, and I just start to worry that they perceive me as a fool for just stopping mid-sentance, in a thought I was confident about, yet I can t say it in front of my peers, or anyone else. Honestly, it s gotten worse, Infact I love doing Drama, so for drama I had to do plays...in front of people. I loved the spotlight, just the shadow that followed it was anxiety. I had said my lines confidently, but I was litterly trembling. I could actually remeber my lines, I didn t forget them. So, that was a plus, but now I would forget my lines and start to worry. Honestly, I don t even know if this is actually anxiety, or not, but PLEASE just give me some tips...or anything that seems helpful. Thanks for reading and helping, have a good day!
