BBBzzzzzt. Wrong. It is natural, but its not uncontrollable. I have a down right nasty temper, and under most cases, I keep it well under check.

Not that nervous Specially if you really aren't connected in any significant way. Its obsession pure and simple (trust me, I know obsession, and yes, I do see a shrink, though not one that'll help with anything more than meds... Oh well).

Purely for the attention. His favorite pastime, as can be seen here on the forum, is to argue pointlessly.

You are in denial.

I am saying that you are obsessive. I don't need to be a doctor to figure that one out, you've made it painfully clear.

I never said I was superior. But I did just say that I don't need any qualifications to understand the nature of your problem. Your obsession is so obvious that it comes out even in your posts.

Shaking is not a normal reaction for the situation you had described in your original post.

No, not really... Unless it was someone you thought was dead for quite some time.

All horses have four hooves.
All horses are animals.
Therefore, all animals have four hooves.

Or better:

The sun is cold. <-Faulty premise
The earths source of heat is the sun.
Therefore there is no global warming.

Oh sure. Climate change is normal, and theres a reccuring pattern. However, the weather system is delicate. Any slight change out of the ordinary (above and beyond the normal patterns), will cause the normal patterns to be amplified or magnified.

In that 1800's occurance, places got warmer, some got colder. If it were to happen again (which it could, and the sun spot cycle sure isn't helping), it'd just be worse.

I have, but it was during an earthquake.

I think I've found myself shaking a bit when being tormented by some 8/9th graders in grade 7/8. Basically whenever someone managed to get through my "firewall" (for my temper)

Though it wasn't all that severe.

Matthew, you're the man!

I don't understand why you people are still trying to get some sense into bamccaig's skull. He's not depressed or anything, just emo. It looks worse because he immediately takes the opposite stance to whatever he's told, but I don't think that requires psychiatric help. Just wait till he grows up, I'm sure he'll be a functional citizen by the time he's 18 or 19!

Isn't that what all politicians do?

You don't know either of us. Oh, and calm down, there's no reason to get upset.

Your letting your thoughts of one individual tear your life apart, and you're accusing me of being upset just because I'm pointing this out to to you?

While I've never met any of the people involved, it's obvious from what little you've told us that the people who do know you well (your 'circle of friends' as you call them) have been distancing themselves from you. Also, everyone who replied to this has more or less the same response, and some are themselves starting to distance themselves from you. Notice a connection (hint: It's not because we have a sheep-like mentality - we do actually think for ourselves - it's so obvious that your obsession has consumed you that we've all come to more or less the same conclusion).

I admit, I am making the assumption that some time in the past, each and every one of the members of your 'circle of friends' was friends with eachother. But even if that was not entirely the case, I still think you should make an attempt to rebuild the broken bridges between you and your friends.

Anyway, here's another assumption I'm making. Is the reason you posted this thread in the first place because you were hoping we would all gather round you in symapthy and re-inforce your belief that her and her friends were all wrong thand that you were right all along despite us not knowing any of you?

At least, try and look at the situation objectively.

Better yet, http://aaardvark.wackonet.net/aaagony/

AE.
