most of the time people dont take such questions personally , but some people do and as far as i thing those r the person who have some inferiority complex. so stop worrying and keep having fun until u dont want to hurt anyone

Well in some ways that is sort of true. Mainly because people always want what is best for themselves. But not everysingle person is selfish. Everyone has their own way of showing that they care about someone else. But I can admit, sometimes i'm a little selfish myself. : )

i get your point but maybe some people just want an outsider's opinion on things...\nPersonally, I would never ask those sort of things on here seriously because I feel that they wouldnt know my situation because they are not me

I think they do it to get your views.  Your views may help them to shape their own character.  Also, they do it to make themselves feel better about who they are at the moment.  There are so many reasons.  Remember, always say, "There must be something good about that person."  I didn't know it was your they were talking about.  Don't beat her up anymore.  She's not worth it.  Let the people believe whatever they choose to believe.  O.k?, o.k.

We all have feelings, it's part of who we are. Don't strive to be "normal" because it doesn't realy exist, we're all different. Just be yourself, and ignore those people who have nothing better to do than critisize for it's own sake.

Nothing wrong at all.\nWhatever we do is our own business, I never let myself be influenced by what others think and that's what I think it's mentally healthy. Don't take stress from others' opinion, ever. they have the right to think what they think and we have the right not to give a f*ck about it! Oh yeah.

According to public perception yes. In my personal experience not every day. Not unless it's a new relationship.

Well for the most part you are right. People want 2 points so they say whatever comes to mind, others though may speak from experience. It's the person asking the question that needs to go seek professional help, regardless of what answers they receive.

Sometimes.  It depends on who's answering.  There's some people who will be straight up honest with you and then there's smart*sses who just want a good laugh at other people's expense.

Yes. Skeptics are often as skeptical of themselves as they are of others. I speak from personal experience. I question everything - literally, EVERYTHING. My own personal thoughts are not exempt from this constant analysis.

yep. some of there assumptions are right about me. which comes in handy when i need good "party and smoking" friends. but some are off the wall. i still have an appreciation for things and music that are beautiful and i have absolutely no morals. so, i don't know what they say or assume. i don't care, let them talk and get caught up. there's no way anyone could know everything about me in a five second glance, so i don't care. i value few people's opinions and even only sometimes.\n\nAND MAY I RESPOND ASSUMTIONS MAY BE OUR NATURE, BUT WE'RE NOT  CHILDREN SO WE SHOULD KNOW AND PUT INTO ACTION THAT IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK IT COULD BE A DOG ON A BAD DAY.

Sometimes, when you need to be... but you should express how you feel, some people cant handle the truth... its always a soft spot, just let em have it easy...

I measure a persons "worth" by some very basic standards; are they a man or woman of their word, do they take full responsibility for their own actions both good and bad, do they maintain their integrity in all situations or practice "situational ethics" and believe that the end justifies the means? It boils down to people that I trust vs. people that I would never turn my back on. And yes, on a practical everyday basis we have every right to place value on another human being. They all have every right to exist, but they're not entitled to be "valued" by anybody, thats an earned right.

On occasion, yeah, I take things personally and it feels like the whole world is out to crush me.\n\nBut....usually, that isn't the case, because I have enough perspective to realize it isn't just me, that society in general just hates on *people like me*.  That if you are "blessed" with being both dirt poor[1] *and* plain-looking at the same time, a lot of folks *will* grief on you and give you crap just on general principle.\n\nIt happens.  Not a whole lot to do about it when people won't *let me* [2] do more to solve the problem.  It gets complicated [3].  Trust me.  :)  Hence the footnotes.\n\nHope this helps and have a good one!  :)

I don't, but they do.  They also think that their opinions are worth more than ours.

I think the problem is you're worrying about what people think about you too much. Of course people form their own opinions of you! You do the same with them. It's all part of life.
