That sucks, hard. Socialized healthcare is the best healthcare.
Sucks when you have to decide between potentially getting further into debt for no reason or not knowing you have some kind of illness, talk to your family/close friends and see if they can help.

My bf says we should just go to the hospital, but he thinks I'm over reacting. For some reason, we're getting into an arugment about cancer and AIDS? He thinks cancer is the worst thing to have because you cant cure cancer, but you can cure AIDS??? Why am I dating this person?!
Is your boyfriend a potential noble-prize, underdog scientist? I've never heard of an AIDS cure being FDA approved...

We generally take things for granted in the UK, with the slightest worry about our health we can get ourselves to the doctors to get checked out but we normally wait for the problem to persist a month or so before we do it
[QUOTE=Jabalab;35787745]If y'all can help on these problems, that would be FANTASTIC!
Also Tl;Dr height problems and girl problem.[/QUOTE]
With the girl; you probably shouldn't have told her you liked her/asked her if she feels the same way. Next time just play it cool, ask her out on a date, and see where it goes naturally. Even though you managed to avoid any awkward repercussions, it very rarely helps to point out the elephant in the room by confessions your feelings to a girl, and you're better off just assuming attraction, taking her out, and progressing from there.
With the height thing; I'm a short guy as a well, and my ex, who I was with for ~2 years, was literally the tallest girl in the grade. Hell, she was probably the tallest person at our school by the time we were graduating. I knew for a fact that she'd much prefer to be with a taller guy, but fuck it, I did what I could and it worked out. As has been said in the previous replies, things like height or appearance are completely subjective, and whilst everyone will have their preferences and opinions, ultimately it's just a matter of being confident in yourself and playing to your strengths.
Things on the surface can be easily overlooked. Personal, irrational insecurities regarding those superficialities? Not so much. Avoid the latter.

/shrug, you tell us!
Hey guys,
Do any of you guys have some sort of constant speech fuckups? Like the type where it's not so much stuttering as just losing words? The type of fuckups where you just don't know what to say, yet you knew what was going on in your head but you can't get around to saying it. I've been having this trouble quite a lot recently, and it's hurt what very little self-esteem I have, especially in the whole relationship subject. I can barely talk to my own friends without becoming the center of laughs in my group of friends at college, and I know their laughing isn't meant to hurt me, but it really does on the inside. I keep going back to that moment during the day when it happens and I keep feeling like shit about it. I try and not think about the hiccups but it just doesn't work. And what adds to the whole stress (I'm probably over-exaggerating to most people) is this presentation I've got coming up, and it's putting me in such a position where I just want to ask the lecturer if I can do a 1-on-1 presentation where it's just him and myself, no one else.
I really need to get myself sorted out, do you guys think the problem might be mostly attributed to my self-esteem? I can't seem to find a way to fix it.
What would you assume is the best way to counter this?

I don't know to be honest, I've tried becoming more active in discussions among each other during lectures and stuff, but I still have the occasional hiccup.
Sometimes when I think about my ex I feel kinda sad but not in a I-want-her-back kind of way; I'm guessing this is just because she was my first.

A few suggestions:
Practice singing some. Don't just sing to yourself muttering, make it something you enjoy. Secondly, throw yourself into more social situations. You'll only get over these hiccups by ramming them head on, to be honest. You'll get infinitely better at thinking on your feet. I used to have this problem, and I'm a whole lot more confident about speech now, I make far less hiccups, and when I do they're something I can just play off.

Read out loud, talk with yourself in the mirror (yeah, the sims ~~~~) and talk to strangers
Welp, we finally broke the ice with each other today, I guess. Just talked like before we broke up, seemed like it went well, then she had to leave and I told her we needed to talk as she was leaving, which she didn't seem too excited about. Probably wasn't the brightest idea, but to be honest I'll just be happy with some closure at this point.
I am projected to be about 6'6, and I'm afraid I will not be considered attractive once I've gotten to that height.
i'm like 5'10"
[QUOTE=thisispain;35815821]i'm like 5'10"[/QUOTE]
That's a good height, what I'm worried about is the point of no return where you've gotten too tall. If that makes sense to anyone.
no that doesn't make any sense considering i've lived in fear of the 6'+ crowd my entire life.
6'2" or 6'3", can't remember which
[QUOTE=Zambies!;35815842]That's a good height, what I'm worried about is the point of no return where you've gotten too tall. If that makes sense to anyone.[/QUOTE]
I have a friend who's 6'8". He's at that awkward height, but he seems to do pretty well for himself. Me and my best friend are both around 6'2", and it's not really that weird at all. I wouldn't worry about getting too tall until you get to like 7 feet.
People that are 3-4 years younger than me and half a foot taller scare the shit out of me
I was excited that I was projected to be 6'0", but then due to all the prednisone I had to take for my sickness, they say my growth is probably stunted
5'11'' master race

I know this one kid that is 6'1 and is 14 years old.
[sp]He's black[/sp]
you dont notice when you're tall, people only notice you. i'm 6'2 and i'll stand with a group of people all 5'10 or less and think nothing of it, but they'll always be the ones to mention "damn dude, you're tall." i dont feel like it's a hindrance romantically at all, though. i love being pretty tall.

Anyways, I've been getting into a bunch of bitch fights lately on facebook, and I don't know why. I feel like I'm compelled to tell some people's retardation off. I can't stop though.

Let them be stupid and find out why they're an idiot for themselves. Telling them such will only anger them and serve to work against you by making you look like a jerk to everyone you and they know. As a general rule of thumb I don't insult people over Facebook unless it's a joke.
[QUOTE=Lukeo;35815927]6'2" or 6'3", can't remember which[/QUOTE]
I'm 5'1" and I mostly date guys who are 5'10"-6'3". I love tall men :3 mostly because I like being carried like a princess. ^_^
see? girls love tall guys. matches their image of a prince charming.
I'm 6'5", which I'm pretty sure is tipping into the "uncomfortably tall" range!
As far as current events go, I went to the club meeting today and chatted a little with [I]Red Dress Girl[/I]. She's fun, but we don't really have much in common, I think. She's fit as hell, and I love all the classy summer dresses she wears, but I don't see BDAxRedDressGirl goin' anywhere!
Also, I subtly pimped news about my need for roommates during the drama club meet today by making the "quirk" for one of the actresses in an improv game be that she could only read information from my apartment listing. I got nibbles from a cool gay stand-up comedian and Red Dress Girl. Gay Comic was piqued about the whole deal, and Red Dress Girl was hip to the price, but no so much about the location (a bit far from home). I'd be cool with either, or both, of 'em, so hopefully they hit me up and ask to come check the place out!
Productive day, except for the fact I still can't get a dang job. There's a job fair tomorrow at the college, which will be my last-ditch effort to find work outside of food-service. If I can't get any nibbles, I'm gonna have no choice but to swallow my pride and schluck tables. It'd be a bummer, but I don't really have any other choices at this stage of the game. I don't want to starve on principle!
