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...

bananamanuk I think it is often very hard to make eye contact when talking to people or more especially when someone is talking to you and all you are doing is listening because it almost feels as though you are staring at them, which makes you even more self conscious....

Did I do something wrong???

makingpots @makingpots (11915) • United States 3 Aug 07

Driving through my neighborhood yesterday I was watching as a man and lady got out of a car parked on the road and walked up toward a house. The lady (probably in her 60s) twisted her ankle as she stepped up on the curb and fell....

bananamanuk Certainly this is an interesting dilema. One thing I will say is that just because the husband said "No" doesn't mean he was being rude or even if he was abrupt. Some people deal with traumas in very different ways. Often it seems to me, men, including myself,...

bananamanuk In my opinion, there is no harm in reading your horoscope, I frequently read mine in the newspapers. It's something that has been practiced for very many years. Some people believe everything they read, some people dismiss it all out of hand. I personally have...

bananamanuk I have never written a novel but I have seriously considered it. I know that I have an interesting story to tell, however I am unsure whether it should be a fictional account using made up characters or if it should be a real life account of exactly what has...

yammydudes @yammydudes (865) • Philippines 3 Aug 07

bananamanuk I think rainbows can look really nice, especially if you have a good vantage point from which to view them. Often you'll see two together, one very striking and colourful and a second that's a little dimmer. It's great when they form and you have a very dark...

Do you find cemetaries interesting or creepy?

loved1 @loved1 (5328) • United States 26 Oct 06

I love to go looking around in cemetaries! There is so much history there to read on the grave markers. I will only go during the day though because it is too creepy at night!

bananamanuk I certainly do not find cemetaries creepy, I actually think they are often the opposite, they are usually by their very nature, peaceful environments. In some ways I think it is very nice that people take the trouble to read headstones of people that they...

bananamanuk Hello, I go to the cemetery usually once a week and will spend maybe 30 mins there during which time the grass is cut and the flowers changed or re-arranged. I find it hard to say that someone is doing something wrong with regard to visiting the cemetery,...

Brian @wolfie34 (26770) • United Kingdom 4 Jan 07

I passed my test back in 1989 after failing my first test. I hated roundabouts, it was a roundabout that I failed on. It took me ages to master them, thankfully I don't give them a second thought now, but then I found them a...

bananamanuk The hardest thing about learning to drive is having enough confidence and assurance in yourself to be able to learn and succeed with it. I am also extremely worried as it always seems that you need to have eyes up your rear end because people, especially in...

argie713 @argie713 (1809) • Philippines 18 Jul 07

bananamanuk I try and click on the ads too as it must be one of the ways that the owners of Mylot make some money to be able to pay us for the conversations we're having. How else could it be done? Of course the adverts also relate to the interests we have so it's not...

In England we're being told to do our washing at 30 degrees due to global warming. It's also meant to help lower your electricity bill. I have to use "Fairy snow" as I have sensitive skin and have used the "Fairy honey...

ranjeetkolarkar @ranjeetkolarkar (1595) • India 26 Jul 07

bananamanuk I think i've worked my way through every Gillette Razor on the market as it seems every time they release a new one it's so much better than the last, so I'm now using the Fusion and it does shave very close and smooth.

Should I get my tongue pierced?

argie713 @argie713 (1809) • Philippines 24 Jul 07

bananamanuk The way I think of these things is that it is your body and you are probably old enough to consider the options about what you want it done and what pleasure etc it will bring you. I suppose a piercing isnt like a tattoo in that it's less obvious, but I still...
