Relationship and Social Trend Predictions for 2010

I am sure the internet will be full of financial, technological, and global affairs/issues predictions so I will not bother speaking about things that other people are way more informed than I to speak on.

I do not share my thoughts with you because I am particular fond of worry or doom and gloom.

A theme might be based on insecurities and fears, some you are willing to conquer and others that might be too hard to face.
