How do you pretend you dont care?
Try an imagine all the ways you would show someone you care and write them down. Once you've done that you can then make a conscious effort to STOP doing all those things, check your list every now and again to remind yourself of things to stop caring about. Also, try to keep your face emotionless and just generally act disinterested in everything and everyone around you.
"have long hair they were necklaces and were head bands."
this is a horribly incomplete notion of what a hippie "was" and "was doing".
TRUE hippies, and i won't sugar coat this so as to not mislead people.
TRUE hippies were a new take on the beat generation. Wikipedia generally defines the beat generation, stating "Central elements of "Beat" culture included experimentation with drugs and alternative forms of sexuality, an interest in Eastern religion, a rejection of materialism, and the idealizing of exuberant, unexpurgated means of expression and being."
The "hippie" was the new social vehicle for this aging wisdom. Hippies had beards, long hair, strange fashion, headbands, necklaces, and other questionable hygiene decisions because it was all meant to REFLECT a knowing that society's social and fashion norms were neither here nor there; ENTIRELY subjective. The hippies meant to highlight this fact by demonstrating their unwillingness to comply, which was only strengthened by the numbers doing it. This was effectively rebelling against fashion, rather than a fashion revolution. It was not about the superficial ideas of fashion as they are sold to people today. A true hippie first believes a series of self evident wisdoms which manifest in their individual image and style, RATHER than picking up a style to try and sell your inner self as is popular today. Hippies were the real rebels. They knew why, instead of just knowing they wanted to.
Hippies did drugs. Although they tried many, the class of psychedelics is most acredited and most responsible for the spiritual influences upon the subculture. Back then psychedelics like LSD and psylocybin (the active compound in shrooms) were widely known. Both enhance one's awareness and appreciation for the natural world, and allows us to view this world from a lens of perspective different from our own, while also allowing oneself to regain control over the ego, making it work for the soul, rather than seeking it's own pleasure at the expense of a greater satisfaction, a greater good.
The hippies were responsible for such forward thinking as clean energy, anti dogmatic spirituality (spirituality without the politics of religion), new forms of sexuality including non monagomy, new forms of governance revising the faults of capitalism, organic farming, sustainability (support yourself, do not depend), and anti materialism ie technology is a tool to humanity, not it's savior.
Romanticized recounts of the hippies of the sixties are often void of ANY of the wisdoms that hippies understood intuitively. If you want good content on the ideals, read The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley, Be Here Now by Ram Dass, and watch Easy Rider.
To put current times into perspective, the baby boomers are Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Today's twenty year olds give or take are the Luke Skywalker. We must remind the now middle aged, largely middle class that THEY found the solution, but we can refine it, and together restore peace to the world.
Please let me know if i should delve deeper into any one of these issues.
Judging from the soon-to-be-x-husband and his mother's similar behavior to what you are describing, my answer would be NO -- unless they are confronted about their behavior and choose to do something about it. From my 17+ years of marriage to an abusive man, who was often annoyed, upset and "gave me the silent treatment", but did not do this to others, is again, NO -- they will not change unless they choose to recognize how they are.
The behaviors you describe have two (often unconscious) aims in mind:
1. To control you by being frighteningly unpredictable
2. To minimize intimacy between you two.
is needs to control (control freakery) and to avoid intimacy are not going to change. It's too late for that.
Changing one's emotional responses and behaviour is extremely difficult.
Even where poor behaviour is recognised and there is a willingness to change, it takes a great deal of work and conscious effort over an extended period of time to even begin to change our way of being in this world -- and in times of stress we resort to familiar patterns of behaviour and responses.
Don't hold your breath waiting for change.
In my case, I want a complete separation from the abusers environment.
Stalkers and the Borderline Personality
The Borderline Personality
In recent years psychologists have learned about and done case studies on a new personality disorder which the DSM-III-R classifies as an Axis II disorder- the Borderline Personality . This classification includes such personality disorders as the Anti-social Personality, the Histrionic Personality and the Narcissistic Personality. Several psychologists (including myself) diagonosed my stalker as afflicted with the Borderline Personality. Characteristic of the Borderline (derived from research done by Kreisman & Straus, 1989) are:
a shaky sense of identity
sudden, violent outbursts
oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection
brief, turbulent love affairs
frequent periods of intense depression
eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies
an irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to be alone
Not much research has been done on the Borderline Personality, and for many years it was difficult to diagnose- and to treat. A Borderline often feels as though his/her life is marked with a distinctive emptiness; a void in which a relationship often acts to fill. Many times the Borderline is a victim of an early dysfunctional family situation and/or emotional/physical abuse by those he/she trusted early on in childhood.
The Borderline is psychotic , in the original, psychological meaning of the term: he/she is not in control and not in touch with reality. To the Borderline, a softly spoken word of advice can be construed as a threat on his/her emotional stability. An outsider's viewpoint that the Borderline is not in touch with reality often ends in a bitter and irrational dissassociation from the outsider on the part of the Borderline. Often, the Borderline ends up very much alone and victim to his/her disillusions.
The Borderline stalker is very apt to see his/her actions as perfectly justified; he/she has paranoid disillusions which support these-often with disturbing frequency. The Borderline often has brief love affairs which end abruptly, turbulently and leave the Borderline with enhanced feelings of self-hatred, self-doubt and a fear that is not often experienced by rational people. When the Borderline's relationships turn sour, the Borderline often begins to, at first, harass the estranged partner with unnecessary apologies and/or apologetic behavior (i.e. letters of apology 'from the heart', flowers delivered at one's place of employment, early morning weeping phonecalls, etc.). However, the Borderline does not construe his/her behavior as harassment- to the Borderline he/she is being 'responsible' for his/her past behaviors.
The next phase of the Borderline Personality develops relatively quickly and soon he/she feels suddenly betrayed, hurt, etc. and seeks to victimize the estranged partner in any way he/she can Strangely enough, this deleterious behavior is always coupled with a need to be near or in constant contact with the estranged partner . While sending threats to the estranged partner, it is very common for the Borderline to begin to stalk his/her estranged partner in an effort to maintain contact. This effort is motivated by the excruciating fear that the Borderline will end up alone and anger that [the estranged partner] has put him/her in this position. We are finding, in many cases, that a great deal of stalking behavior is associated with Borderline or related personality disorders. Earlier research did not incorporate the Borderline Personality in stalking profiles; research now is beginning to focus on the Borderline in such disorders as Erotomania, etc.
Do men care when women have uneven breasts?
well if you are talking about guys that like you, no! If they are to the point of liking you enough to look at you ALL THE TIME, they shouldn't because breasts aren't guys' entire world!!!
Look.....bottom line, if a guy likes you then that typically means he likes ALL. OF. YOU. Most of us don't care because we know that a woman's body is like nature - flawful beauty. Meaning like nature, women are beautiful no matter what the flaws are, b/c it's the flaws that separate you apart and makes you look even sexier to us. So ladies....don't worry if your breasts are uneven or whatever other flaws you have (or imagined), the guy is gonna like you no matter what you look like, cause we're the ones attracted to you, and that's all that counts.
What are the various approaches to study OB?
The term imperialism was used from the third quarter of the nineteenth century to describe various forms of political control by a greater power over less powerful territories or nationalities, although analytically the phenomena which it denotes may differ greatly from each other and from the "New" imperialism.
A later usage developed in the early 20th century among Marxists, who saw "imperialism" as the economic and political dominance of "monopolistic finance capital" in the most advanced countries and its acquisition - and enforcement through the state - of control of the means (and hence the returns) of production in less developed regions. Elements of both conceptions are present in the "New imperialism" of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

How will women get the respect they deserve?
By acting in a manner befitting respect. Although I know some feminists may disagree, but I do believe that this includes dressing appropriately. Not only that but in your question you say "deserve" this means that the female in question has to act or do something that will gain men's trust and regard. It is like how we don't respect men if they act immaturely or are dishonest.
If your ex looks at you when you don't think he's looking, it could be a sign he's still interested. If he smiles when you make eye contact, it may indicate positive feelings towards you. However, actions alone may not indicate if he wants to rekindle the relationship, so direct communication is key.
Analyzing and having a conclusive answer to any observational situation
What does it mean to say the memory of the just is blessed?
The phrase, 'the memory of the just is blessed,' has its origins in the Judeo-Christian Bible (Proverbs x:7) and refers to the positive influence of good people who are no longer alive. Though deceased, such good-character persons can provide assistance to those who are living, encouraging them to do what is right, to be faithful, to live well -- and this continuing positive influence can (and should) be seen as 'blessed,' that is, as something for which to be thankful, perhaps even as a gift given from above.
Why can some people pop their joints out of place and it not hurt them?

You cant help being nice because you were born that way...god made you that way. You are just a naturally nice person, trust me you should be proud of it. Niceness is a very excellent quality to have. :)
How do people interact with the environment?
They eat the available food, wear clothes to be comfortable, keep their homes free of pests, breathe the air, avoid places where wild animals may eat them, listen to bir songs. Everything you do interacts with your environment.
Which statement best describes the ideal of loyalty to ones supervisor?
An ideal supervisor first and foremost always thinks about the company's needs. He or she are natural born leaders, as leaders aren't made, they are born to lead. The ideal supervisior knows not to take sides between employee's and to never discuss something that one employee may have discussed with him or her amoungst other employee's. An ideal supervisor is a person who the company and employee's can trust. He or she can get the job done the right way without screaming at employee's or making them look stupid in front of their peers and most importantly an ideal supervisor is a team player because if a supervisor isn't a team player they don't stand a good chance of getting the work done the right way or shipped on time.
These days with all of the Reality Shows on Television it's sickening how you see the (supposedly boss) yelling and embarrassing employee's. That's not the real world and if it is, then that person is sick. No one needs to be-little anyone to get the job done, a little bit of respect and knowing how to talk to people wins out every time.
Do Korean people like changing their name Why?
No. Most Koreans keep their names consistent throughout their lives. However, when dealing with Westerners, Koreans tend to use Western names since they realize that it is easier for Westerners to remember. For example, Donghun Lee (이동훈) might choose to use the English name "Donald" instead of "Donghun" when dealing with Westerners since it sounds similar and Westerners remember it more easily.

How could a shy quiet girl and her mom laugh really loudly?
The shy quiet girl and her mom could find something that they both find really funny and share a lighthearted moment together. Laughter can be infectious, so once one of them starts laughing loudly, it might encourage the other to join in. Sometimes, letting go of inhibitions and being in the moment can lead to genuine, hearty laughter.
Why do people crave pickled food?
People crave pickled food because the unique combination of salty, sour, and tangy flavors can be appetizing and satisfying for some individuals. In addition, the fermentation process of pickling creates probiotics that are beneficial for gut health, which can also contribute to the craving.
A facilitator guides group discussions, meetings, or workshops to help participants achieve their objectives. They ensure effective communication, promote collaboration, manage group dynamics, and keep discussions on track. Facilitators do not lead or control the group, but rather help the group work towards its desired outcomes.
How does an infant develop a personality?
An infant usually develops their behaviour from about the age of three!
This is normally done through socialization, integrating the influence of parent's and friend's interest and behaviour.
For example, if an infants parents are massive fans of sport then their lives will probably be based around sport and the infant will proably grow to love it too!
But ultimately it is said 'Children learn what they live'...
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn,
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
...

How long does it take to produce goods?
That really depends on the what goods we are producing. And if we are talking about agricultural produce, then it also depends on where we are doing it. For example in Finland we get only one crops per year. In some other warmer countries they can get two, or even four crops per year. Although the growing takes the same amount of time everywhere, the summer in Finland is so short there is time to only grow one harvest worth.
It also depends on what tools we have to use. If we have a full factory with automated machines and good workers, things are made a lot faster, than for example if we only had few workers who made the same itsems by hand.
Men, just like women, are diverse individuals with their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Communication barriers, varying perspectives, and societal expectations can contribute to misunderstandings. Clear and honest communication can help alleviate confusion and promote understanding in relationships.
Most of us come through life with garbage tied to our butts and I dare anyone to dispute this! Some people are fortunate enough not to have too many unpleasant things happen to them while some of us seem to have it in threes. When we are hurt by jaded love, abuse of any sort, rape, etc., we tend to build up a wall around us to block out the hurt and think we are dealing with life in a normal way. We are just kidding ourselves because it's only our brains way of dealing with trauma and in the recesses of our minds those hurt feelings keep cropping up every so often like bad weeds. We start to questions ourselves, lose confidence and most likely don't enjoy life to the fullest. Then we sit there and wonder why. The best thing you can do is see a Psychologist. A Psychologist studies human behavior, but can't administer drugs such as antidepressants or sedatives, but can confide in your doctor and have your doctor prescribe them to you. A Psychiatrist studies medications and little about human behavior; can prescribe drugs. I prefer Psychologists every time. NEVER think you are crazy or a lesser person for having your problems. Some of us have been to a Psychologist/Psychiatrist and many of those that haven't should! Ask your Psychologist where you can get Cognitive Therapy programs and if they deal in them. Cognitive Therapy is learning new tools to take your problems and break them down into small parts and see that they aren't all that bad and can be rectified little by little once broken down. I have taken the course and it worked great for me and I use it to this day. If you are a woman and have abuse issues then I suggest a woman Psychologist (easier on you) and if you are a man then seek out a male Psychologist that can relate to you. That's not to say that some male Psychologists aren't good (I had one) but it depends on what has happened in your past. I also believe almost everyone should go for a tune-up every so often to be sure they are handling some of their problems in a healthy manner. Good luck & God Bless The best things I have done in dealing with emotional distress and pain are: 1) getting a therapist who specializes in whatever my issue was, and 2) finding an appropriate12-step program - and actually working the steps. I had to be entirely willing to address my problem(s) and go through the growing pains that were inevidiable. I had to get totally honest with myself and stop blaming others and making excuses for why I couldn't go through with it. There are always therapists and self-help groups that are available, many have flexible scales for payment based on ability, so don't let money be an issue. 12-step groups are free, and whatever your deal is (it does not need to be a chemical dependency issue) there's a group for that.Try looking on steps4recovery.org. Just remember that whatever your problem may be, there's always a healthy solutionif you want it. Don't cheat yourself by staying stuck and having a difficult, even miserable life. I have never been happier and I wish sometimes that I would have started on a more positive path long ago, but I didn't know what to do either. Whatever is troubling you, I hope youfind peace and relief. Take care of yourself, do the things that may feel difficult or uncomfortable at times in order to make progress.Good Luck!
