Sometimes the situation may call for a more low-key type of energy and humor, while other situations may really need someone to be very lively. Try to learn which situations call for what. Listen to the mood of what is going on around you. This will take some practice, but being aware of the feelings of others will help you learn.  For example, a formal dinner party is not the time to be dancing around and telling jokes loudly. While you can still be energetic and lively, you can do it in a more subdued way, by laughing quietly and showing interest in the people around you with a smile on your face. If you are at an outdoor barbecue, you can probably be a bit more lively and energetic. Especially if there are kids around, who can match your intensity. People will see you and the children enjoying yourselves, and will probably want to join in the fun. Being emotionally intelligent means being able to perceive the emotions and mood states of those around you. If you are going to be the funny and energetic person, then it is important that you can read the feelings of others so you don’t overdo it. If you have just met someone, you can help yourself identify how they are feeling at the moment by chatting with them about something neutral, like the weather. This will give you an idea of their baseline behavior. Then, after talking for a few minutes, try telling a funny joke, or do something silly. Watch carefully for their reaction. Do their eyes light up? Do they smile? Or do you notice a more negative reaction? Do they lower their eyebrows, or glance away nervously? If so, this person is probably not in the mood to be entertained by silliness and jokes, so stick to a more subdued tone. In some situations, you may find yourself in the presence of someone who is more energetic and funny than you could ever dream of being. In this case, there is little point in trying to be the funniest, most energetic person in the room. Instead, let this person take the lead, and simply enjoy being in their presence.  If the...

Sometimes there is a sense that everyone has a best friend, but that is not true. This message can give the sense that if you don't have a best friend, there is something wrong with you. The reality is that there may be many reasons you do not have a "best friend", and that can be perfectly all right.   Some people have a variety of friends, none of which are extremely close, but are nonetheless supportive, fun, and meaningful. Friendship takes time. If you have just moved to a new town, you will not suddenly be surrounded with friends. Friendship--whether BFF status or not--takes time. Again, that is not a reflection on you. Your school community might not be a great match for you, but that does not mean there is something wrong with you. When you can truly choose your community (such as going to college or moving to a city with a vibrant LGBT social scene), you might simply find many more like minded individuals.

Sometimes this is enough to keep your brain focused. Promise yourself that you’ll only check email or social media twice or three times a day. Stick to it. Set a time to give yourself a break, and keep it. You will probably be surprised at how much you can achieve without these distractions. Choose which activities appeal to you intellectually. Some of us like number-related games, while others prefer words.  Try Sudoku, crossword puzzles, drawing and math quizzes.  These create and maintain important neuronal connections critical to your cognitive ability. Try writing with your opposite hand. It may be difficult initially, but with a little practice and some neuronal connections, you’ll get the hang of it. Writing with your non-dominant hand forces you to focus both mentally and physically and can help clear your mind. Even if you don’t get very good at it, the act of learning a new language can stimulate your brain in new and good ways. Particularly for older adults, learning a language can improve cognitive function. This might be the most useful technique to achieve mental clarity. Meditation allows you to clear your mind of all of the thoughts running through it and allow you to focus much more easily. Once you know how, you can do it for short periods at home or in another quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. To learn the techniques of meditation, there are many books and online resources available. There are also meditation classes and meetings in many communities. Like meditation, part of the practice of yoga is clearing your mind. In yoga, it’s about focusing on the positions your body takes and clearing both your mind and body of stress. Yoga classes are widely available -- at community centers, yoga studios, and through gyms.

Sometimes unusual items will be perfect for your personal look.  For the crafty person, making your own jewelry is the perfect way to show off your unique taste. Wearing Grandma’s old cardigan or brooch may not seem unique, but few people wear older accessories like these anymore. And bonus, older items are generally of great, lasting quality. Pick a type of item to wear with every outfit that will make people think of you.  Maybe you always wear a ring on your pinky, or a scarf around your handbag. Just choose an accessory that you like and run with it. Try giving yourself a manicure to have totally unique nails. Blue nails with purple polka dots? Clear polish on top of natural nails? Why not? Glasses are a great way to customize your style. Try some cute frames like a vintage cat-eye shape, or frameless lenses. You can also experiment with different types of sunglasses. A smile is your most natural, unique accessory.  Nobody else has your unique smile, and it is a totally free, attention-grabbing accessory! Remember to have fun when choosing your unique style. A smile lifts your mood, and anything will look good on you if you are happy and confident.

Sometimes we hear about gossip through gossip, and it might not be true. It doesn't pay to go barging in angry only to discover you've gotten the wrong idea about what was said. In fact, there's a chance that the person you think started the gossip may not have been involved at all. Be absolutely certain before accusing or confronting the person. In addition, even if they did say things, consider what they actually meant. They may have been misinterpreted or they may have said something off-the-cuff without meaning anything nasty. Sometimes, things just come across the wrong way. In this case, you might want to cut the person some slack. Before you confront the gossiper, you need to find out where the talk originated and see if that person was truly involved. If you found out through a friend, ask him who he heard it from. Then, go to that person, and do the same thing. Try to piece together different angles and possible misunderstandings about what was said and by whom. Try to keep your emotions out of the situation as much as possible; don't get mad or let your feelings be hurt until you're sure you know what happened. If you know this person and trust him, and have had no reason to think he would gossip about you, there is a chance that this situation is not what it appears to be.  If this is a friend and it is out of character for him to gossip about you, consider other possible scenarios: the person who told you may be trying to stir up drama, or may be trying to retaliate against you or your friend by causing problems between you. Maybe your friend was misheard or misunderstood. Be considerate of the person's state of mind. Sometimes people going through hard times say and do things that are out of character. For example, people who struggle with depression, anxiety, difficult home or work circumstances, or other situations may spread rumors about other people as a way to relieve their own stress. This isn't an excuse, but it may explain otherwise unusual behavior from someone you thought you could rely...

Sometimes when you're re-installing Windows with non-standard hardware, you may not be able to access Windows in order to activate. You'll get a message that you must activate in order to proceed, but you can't connect to the internet and the "installation ID" is not generated. If this happens to you, you'll need to use Safe Mode to fix your drivers and activate Windows. You'll need to fix the problems with your device drivers. This will allow you to either get an internet connection or generate an installation ID so that you can activate over the phone. Reboot your computer and rapidly strike F8 as it boots up. This will open the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select "Safe Mode" from the list of options. You'll likely need to download the drivers on another computer. Windows XP Safe Mode disables program installation, so you'll need the actual driver files, not an installer.  Determine the piece of hardware that isn't working. Press ⊞ Win+R and type devmgmt.msc. This will load the Device Manager. Look for items that have a "!" or "?" icon. These are the pieces of hardware that require drivers. Visit the manufacturer's support site on another computer. If you are using a laptop or pre-built desktop, you should be able to find all of the drivers you need in one spot. If you're using a custom-built computer, you'll need to find the manufacturer of the specific piece of hardware that's not working. Download the INF files for the piece of hardware. Since you can't use an installer, you'll need the actual driver files. These come in INF format. Transfer these files from the working computer to the non-working one via USB or disk. Right-click on the non-working piece of hardware in the Device Manager and select "Update Driver". Browse your computer for the INF file that you downloaded and load it up. You'll be prompted to reboot your computer. For more detailed instructions on tracking down and installing drivers, click here.

Sometimes you have to make changes to avoid someone you don’t want to talk to. If you know this person is going to be at a party or gathering, don’t go.  Unless you’re in a situation where you can’t excuse yourself like school or work, you may have to choose not to attend a function to avoid someone. Tell a close friend that you aren’t going to be attending the event. Be honest with your friend as to why, but don’t be rude. If you are somewhere and you see someone you want to avoid talking to or interacting with, see if you can move elsewhere. If you’re at a party or bar, you may be able to go to another area and avoid running into this person. If you really don’t want to interact with someone but are having a hard time avoiding this person, ask people for help. You can get help from your friends, parents, your boss, or a counselor.  If you find that you can’t avoid this person because you have class or work with this individual, consider talking to someone who can help like your boss or a counselor. Calmly explain why you can’t be around this person. Perhaps this individual makes it hard for you to complete your work because you are uncomfortable. Maybe you can’t focus in class because this person won’t leave you alone. Tell an authority figure why you need to be removed from situations where you interact with this person. If you are able to, be upfront and end the relationship. If you have an ex that you don’t want to see or talk to anymore, or someone that might be in your larger friend group, you can simply cut ties with this person.  Establish your boundaries once and don’t apologize. Your health and peace of mind are the most important. Though it may be hard, tell this person that you won’t engage in any sort of contact anymore. Stick to your convictions. Some people may not easily leave you alone. But if you’ve stated your intentions, your job is done. Don’t engage anymore. It’s ok to outright say that you don’t want to talk to or see this person again. Sometimes if you are blunt and a little harsh,...

Sometimes you just need a brief escape from your work or school demands. A break from your everyday responsibilities will give you time to rest, recharge, and/or try something new. Call in sick or take a vacation day so that you have time for yourself.  Choosing a Monday or Friday for your mental health day will give you a 3-day weekend. Just make sure that your decision doesn’t inconvenience someone else, such as a coworker who will have to cover for you. If you’re feeling exhausted, stay home and indulge in a few fun activities that you enjoy, such as watching your favorite show, soaking in a bath, or playing with your dog. If you’re feeling like your life is stale, go on an adventure. Take yourself on a short day trip to a nearby town, or invite a friend along for the ride! If you're feeling overwhelmed, talk to a therapist, religious mentor, or someone you trust. You can also reach out to a suicide hotline, such as 1-800-273-8255. Varying your daily routine even a little can make you feel like things are different. You could take a different route to work, eat lunch at a new spot, and engage in a different activity after work or school. Use this as an opportunity to try out a few things you wish were part of your everyday life, such as the following:  Grab a coffee at a cool coffee shop. Take your lunch to the park. Eat lunch with a different group of coworkers or classmates. Find a new event to try, such as a new club at school or an event on meetup.com. Walk a friend’s dog to see if you might enjoy getting one of your own. Changing your environment can provide you with a brief escape from your everyday life. It will also show you ways that you can shake things up for yourself. Here are some ideas:  Try a new restaurant that serves a cuisine you don’t commonly eat. Drive to a nearby city, then go to a park, a store, and/or dinner. Go for a nature hike. Ride your bike, walk, or take a bus instead of driving. Sleepover at your friend’s house.

Sometimes you may not want to talk to certain people because you feel uncomfortable in your surroundings. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you are an enjoyable person to be around. Remind yourself that you are entitled to your boundaries and it’s ok to voice your feelings to feel comfortable.  Focus on what you want and what will make you happy. Then, try and find people that have a similar attitude as you. Instead of trying to avoid people, which is a negative, focus on surrounding yourself with people like you who make you feel comfortable. Your thoughts contribute to your mood, and even your actions. Smile and take a moment to tell yourself that you are where you are meant to be. Having a positive attitude will help you to attract other positive people. You won’t always like, or want to talk to everyone everywhere, but doing activities you enjoy is more likely to surround you with people you are comfortable engaging with.  If you’re in school, join a group or club that interests you. Whether you’re introverted or extroverted, there are plenty of extracurriculars for every type of person. From theatre, to the track team, you can find an activity and a group of people that are like you. Not only will doing something you like give you confidence and let you get to know people like you, but it will give you a way to stay busy and avoid situations and people you’d rather not be around. Instead of worrying about other people, and how someone may react to you, focus on enjoying yourself. Know that if someone is being mean to you, or trying to make you feel bad, that it’s always not your problem.  Oftentimes people will take out frustration on someone else due to personal insecurities. Putting your energy into enjoying what you are doing can make it easier to avoid someone. You won’t have time to deal with someone who isn’t helping your experience. Whether you’re in a social setting, at school, or at work, surrounding yourself with people you get along with is a great way feel more comfortable.  If you...

Sometimes you may want to have a survival kit available in your locker, or a mini-kit that you can carry around with you. In this case, you'll have to make the kit smaller, so only focus on smaller things and the bare essentials. People often turn to comfort foods during bad times, and good food ideas for a mini kit include:  Mini candy bars Snack-sized granola bars Small snacks like crackers or cookies A couple sticks of gum or a few mints You may not have room for an entire spa worth of aromatherapy and relaxation products in your mini kit, but you can throw in a couple items that may help alleviate stress and calm your friend. You can look for travel-sized versions of aromatherapy items like:  Scented lotions and creams Colognes and perfumes (try to find your friend’s favorite scent) Scented candles (look for tea light or votive candles) Since you won’t have a lot of extra room, focus on small games and puzzles. If you include a paper puzzle, don’t forget a pen or pencil! Small and packable games you can have in your mini kit include:  Sudoku Word searches and crosswords Small wooden puzzles Cards from a trivia game A deck of cards A mini Rubik’s cube Car or travel-sized versions of popular games like checkers This will depend on your friend’s personality, so you're going to have to dig deep to think about inside jokes, preferences, memories, and other things that will mean something to a specific friend.

Sometimes you might make curved cuts first when cutting styrofoam, while other times you might make straight cuts.  Either is acceptable as long as you’re following the directions for your project. If you’re engaging in a project of your own design and not working with directions, you can make either curved or straight cuts first.  Remember, it’s your project, so there are no rules! Keep steady, even pressure on the knife throughout the cutting process to reduce the chances of breaking or crushing the foam.  Long, sawing motions will also minimize the amount of foam crumbs you produce. If you want to cut a depression in styrofoam, start in the center.  Draw a line around the area you want to remove, then select a tool that will allow you to remove it while achieving a depth and a degree of curvature that pleases you.  A depression with vertical sides is best removed using a knife.  Just select an appropriately long knife, then cut along the line you’ve marked. In some cases, indentations are best achieved using a rounded sanding tool rather than a knife. A long, serrated knife or an electric knife is probably best for cutting channels through your styrofoam.  Mark the length and depth of the channel on your styrofoam, then punch your blade through the styrofoam to the depth you marked.  When the piece is loose, remove it. You can use this technique to cut channels that run through a piece of styrofoam or along the surface of a piece of styrofoam. You can cut a round styrofoam ball in half by tracing a line along its equator with a sharp pencil.  Many styrofoam balls already have this line marked by the manufacturer.  Use a sharp blade, a hot wire cutter, or an electric knife to bisect the ball.

Sometimes you will set expectations for a spouse, partner, or child. If you are in management, however, you likely will set expectations for myriad diverse people. When setting goals in those instances, work to appreciate each individual’s personality, work patterns, hobbies, and passions. By having a sense of the person, you will be better able to set realistic expectations. Ask the person:  What work tasks makes you concerned? Which work activities give you energy? What are your work goals? How do your work and personal goals jive with our expectations here?  How can I help you work towards your various goals in a strategic, effective manner? Make sure contracts explain duties thoroughly and the employee's specific role in your organization. Convey job responsibilities to employees. Outline the person’s responsibilities, duties, and purposes.  When making a new request, check whether your request is realistic. Ask yourself whether you can visualize your employee doing what you desire. If the person has done the task previously, your request is likely realistic. When the assignment is something new, consider whether your employee could complete the task with the available time and resources.  If possible, help make the task easier. For example, if you need your employee to write a very important report, give her a quiet office where she can work on the report. Be concrete in your expectations but be flexible in your timeline. Craft a timeline that works for both of you. Offer your assistance when it is possible as well. Meet with your employees to set regular goals. Split projects into smaller sections with each section having its own goals. Set regular meetings at which you can review progress.

If you don't see any file name or extension below this category, click the triangle to the left of the "Name & Extension" heading to view the file's name and extension. Replace whatever comes after the period at the end of the file name with xlsx and then press ⏎ Return.  For example, if the document was named "Spreadsheet1.txt", you would change it to "Spreadsheet1.xlsx". If the file extension already is "xlsx", try using "xls" or "html". This will confirm your decision and change the file type. Double-click the file to open it. If the file opens in Excel (or, if you selected "html" as the extension, a web browser), your file has successfully been recovered.  If you chose the "html" extension, you can convert the webpage into an Excel document by dragging the html file onto the Excel icon and then saving the file that opens as a new "xlsx" file.

Sometimes, a bird will simply fly into your home through an open door or window by mistake; there will be very little you can do to prevent this from happening. But you should still consider adding sturdier screens onto your windows and avoid keeping large entrance ways (like sliding glass doors) open to the outside. When a bird randomly flies into your home, you can view that as just a single, strange incident; but having a nest of pigeons or other birds move into your attic is another crisis that requires a very different approach. Birds that like to nest in homes tend to prefer areas such as chimneys, gutters, eaves, and laundry vents; you should make sure that these areas are properly sealed so they cannot enter your home. If you have a woodpecker who continues to bore into the side of your house, hang a shiny object -- like an old CD or DVD -- near the site; this will deter the bird from remaining in that spot. Wind chimes are also helpful in discouraging woodpeckers. Many wildlife removal experts specialize in using objects that will prevent birds from nesting on or in your home, such as bird spikes, avian sound machines, tape, glass and other materials. If you sense that birds could become a problem for your home, go ahead and contact a professional to help you prevent this from happening.

Sometimes, a heat rash just won't go away on its own. In these cases, there are some creams and lotions that can help accelerate the healing process. However, these are the exception, not the rule. Most creams and lotions will not help a case of heat rash, even if they're advertised as "soothing" or "moisturizing." In fact, many can even make heat rash worse, especially if they contain one of the following ingredients:  Hydrocortisone. Many people assume that hydrocortisone will soothe the rash. In fact, it does not help and may make it worse. Petroleum or mineral oil. These greasy ingredients can clog the pores, which is the main cause for heat rash in the first place.  Perfumes or scents. These can often irritate raw skin, making heat rash worse. Calamine is an ingredient that soothes and protects the skin, reducing irritation. In addition, it's known reduce the itching that can sometimes come with a case of heat rash. This and related lotions are sometimes marketed as "prickly rash lotions."  While calamine is the best option, it is wet and sticks to clothes. Try putting the calamine on and giving it time to dry. You might apply it and then sit under a fan, for example. At night, apply calamine and then get into clean sheets. Remember that calamine can stain – therefore, don't use it with your best bedding. Calamine is generally safe, but it can negatively interact with some common medications and medical conditions. Talk to your doctor before using calamine if you are pregnant, have any known medical allergies, or are taking prescription medication.  Calamine lotion is an over-the-counter (OTC) drug. This is a similarly soothing ingredient that is sometimes prescribed for heat rash.

Sometimes, a sore vagina is caused by something obvious. If you've recently given birth, or had rough sexual intercourse, that may be the cause. However, vaginal pain with no clear cause should be evaluated by a medical professional. This is especially important if you notice any of the following symptoms:  Vaginal discharge with an unusual color or odor Redness, itching, or irritation Bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause Any kind of unusual mass or bulge in your vagina Any blisters in or on the outside of the vagina Over-the-counter pain medications usually do not lessen vaginal pain. You will have to talk to your doctor about prescription medications.  The antidepressants amitriptyline and nortriptyline may soothe vaginal pain. Your doctor may prescribe these medications if he or she believes it would help with your vaginal pain. They may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, and weight gain. This is a last resort after ruling out all other causes of vaginal pain Anti-epilepsy medications can also ease vaginal pain, but may cause similar side effects. Vaginal pain can be a symptom of a variety of STIs. Getting tested is important. If you have an STI, the sooner you treat it the better.  Many STIs can be cured with a simple round of antibiotics. If you have an STI, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. Take all your antibiotics as prescribed. Some STIs, like herpes and HIV, do not have a cure. You will have to talk to your doctor about the best treatment option to keep symptoms and complications in check. Vaginal soreness may be caused by certain cancers, vaginal cysts, or other medical problems. However, most causes are yeast infections, allergy to a laundry detergent, herpes outbreak, endometriosis. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may want to run a series of tests to rule out such conditions. Talk your symptoms and medical history over with your doctor. He or she will determine what tests, if any, need to be conducted.

Sometimes, all you need to do to calm down a bit is to focus on the breath rising and falling from your body. Just stop what you’re doing and work on breathing in and breathing out deeply, and letting yourself take long, careful breaths instead of taking the shorter breaths people tend to take when they’re nervous. Focusing on this can help you feel more calm and centered pretty quickly. Another trick you can try if you’re feeling nervous is to inhale through your nose and push the air out through your mouth slowly. Repeating this ten times can make you feel more calm and centered. Though you can’t ignore your fears or worries forever, if you feel like there’s nothing you can do to address it except to worry more, then you may just want to take your mind off of it for a little while. Do something that you think will help you forget your worries and feel more at ease, such as:  Reading Dancing Singing Getting absorbed in your favorite TV show. When you’re nervous, sometimes it’s because you’re experiencing sensory overload or are just feeling overwhelmed in general. Going into a dark room can help you feel more calm and in control — think of it as an exaggerated version of closing your eyes. The next time you’re feeling nervous, excuse yourself and step into a different room where you can turn out the lights. Concentrate on sitting still and focusing on your breath, and you will begin to feel more in control. If you just focus on the numbers and nothing else, repeating one slowly after another, then you’ll find your breathing returning to normal and will soon begin to relax a bit more. If you’re in public, you can also just count the numbers in your head. If this doesn’t quite do the trick, you can count back up from one to 50 after you count down to one, so you have more time to calm down.

Sometimes, an institution or organization will provide a list of specific questions or topics they want you to address. If this is the case, review the list carefully so that you can outline answers that directly answer those concerns.  Often, these questions will be listed directly on the application, or otherwise on the job posting or program web page. If you're not sure if your application needs to address specific questions, reach out to the program coordinator or the contact person listed on the posting. You will generally only have 1-2 pages to fit all of your information into your statement. Outlining your statement before you write will make sure you cover all your most salient points in your limited space. Try to pick 2-4 critical points to cover.  Prioritize the purpose of your statement in your outline. For example, if you're applying to a graduate program, your graduate project should be your main focus. Write about what interests you. You will be able to write more convincingly and more passionately if you write about events, goals, experiences, or ideas that you already feel passionate about. Address issues specifically brought up by the institution or organization. If there are any topics that the reader demands to see, then make sure that those are included in your personal statement. Your first paragraph must grab the reader's attention. A strong introductory paragraph will clearly introduce the thesis or theme of your personal statement while creating a sense of narrative as if you're introducing a story. Use a personal anecdote to hook your readers.  Avoid starting with common or cliché phrases like, “The most important moment in my life was when...” A better way to introduce that “important moment” would be to simply start describing it. Explain that, “When I first started working at XYZ Company, I didn't know the first thing about widget manufacturing.” Directly break into the narrative instead of alerting the reader that you intend to do so. Provide as much detail in the first paragraph...

Sometimes, changing up your normal routine has the potential to open up your surroundings and the people that you’re around. Trying new activities has the potential to turn into new hobbies. New hobbies bring new opportunities to make new friends.   When you spend time doing something you love, you're more likely to meet people with similar interests who want to hang out. For example, if you discover you like trivia, join a trivia team; you'll quickly get to know your teammates, and you'll have a built-in hangout session every week.  Consider joining a club or sports team that meets weekly. This regular social time will put you more in the mood to make new friends. Dating sites paved the way for meeting people online, but you can use them even if friendship is what you seek. Choose a dating site conducive to friendly matchmaking and create a profile to share your interests. Be as open to meeting others as you'd like them to be when they come across your profile.   For a less personal experience, try a site that hosts meetups among people with common interests. You can meet up with people to play a sport, take a hike, discuss politics, and so on. Try putting your Facebook friendships to the test by organizing a meetup among people you already know. See if people want to have a picnic, play a game of pickup kickball, or meet up in a smaller group for coffee. Embrace hobbies and interests that are designed for socialization such as joining the local sports league or hanging out at the gym, bars, clubs, and so on. Shy away from solitary hobbies such as reading or going for a walk. Being around more people increases the likelihood of meeting new people who share similar interests.

Sometimes, especially when the narcissist is someone you love (a significant other, a parent, or a child), you may want to consider staging an intervention. This can be very difficult, as it can be very hard to convince a narcissistic person that they have a problem. The best time to stage an intervention is after something very life-changing has happened to the narcissist (like an illness, a job loss, etc.) where the things that are feeding their ego are damaged or removed. You'll need a neutral and experienced party, as things can get emotional and stormy during the intervention. They can also help you plan the intervention and give you some idea of how the intervention might go. Try to get the advice of someone such as a behavioral therapist, psychologist, or licensed clinical social worker who has experience dealing with narcissists.  A professional can discuss different therapeutic options with you. Individual psychotherapy and group therapy both have their benefits and have been shown to help narcissistic individuals see other people as individuals who are as important as they are.  Look around in your area and ask some people whose opinions you trust who they might recommend. You want to make sure that you have the right person for the task. These need to be people who are close to the narcissist in some way, or people who have been hurt by the narcissist but are willing to see them get the help they need. Make sure that these people aren't going to warn the narcissist ahead of time and aren't going to spread gossip around about what is going on. An intervention is not a spur of the moment thing. You'll need to plan out where and when and what you all are going to say and do. The professional can help you here with some of what you might expect from the intervention. These are the main points that you want to stick to during the intervention. They can be things like how the narcissist's issues are hurting the family (give specific examples) and why you're having the intervention (they've become...

Sometimes, it helps to get your confidence up before approaching your crush at all. Do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel good– wear a new t-shirt, spend a little extra time doing your hair, or pump yourself up with your favorite song. Embrace those days when you just feel great about yourself, and strike up a conversation then. If you feel good, you’ll exude that confidence.  Wearing a lucky shirt, standing up straight, and visualizing a great conversation in your head are all additional ways to give yourself that boost of confidence you need. If doesn’t matter what you do to feel good, just do it! No matter how cute, smart, funny, or cool your crush seems, they are a person just like you. They feel awkward sometimes, they want to be liked, and they want to make friends just like you do. Try not to put them on a pedestal, because it will only make talking to them even more intimidating. For all you know, they’ve been admiring you from afar this whole time. You owe it to both of you to try. No matter how anxious or shy you may feel on the inside, it’s important to look like you’re calm, cool, and collected. Flash them a big smile and try to look at them when you speak. Show them that you’re sure of yourself, and they will automatically be impressed.  When you speak to your crush, make sure that you're facing them, speak loud enough to be understood, and use a friendly tone. You can also lean towards them to better hear what they're saying. If you look terrified, they’ll most likely feel a bit awkward. Camouflage your nervousness and summon up all of your confidence. You are a smart, capable, and charming person. Think of your best qualities, and all the wonderful things you have to offer the people around you. Love and appreciate your strengths, and that's all that matters. Your crush will either see that and be grateful to speak with you, or they will be silly and it's their loss. Go forth and conquer! Also, try to calm yourself down right before you talk to your crush. Whether you listen to some...

Sometimes, it is the little things that count the most. Think about what sorts of things your boyfriend likes, or how his day is going, and try to incorporate that into your actions. For example:  Bring him a cup of coffee or his favorite beverage in the mornings, or buy his favorite snack for lunch. Do something nice for him when he’s having a bad day, such as cooking his favorite meal. Wear his favorite outfit of yours, or surprise him with a Saturday trip to his favorite place. Kissing and hugging are two ways couples nonverbally show their feelings for each other. You can also hold hands, cuddle, or touch each other as you talk.  It's perfectly normal for things to cool down after you've been together for a few years, but don't stop the affection, or he might think you're losing interest in him. Even if you've been together for a while, don’t stop hugging or kissing him before you go home after a date. Continue to cuddle on the couch as you watch TV. You should be affectionate and buy your boyfriend cute things on special occasions. However, you should avoid acting extremely lovey-dovey or buying him things for no reason. Showing him that he's the only one doesn't mean smothering him.  Going overboard with affection may make him think that you are making up for something you feel guilty about. There is a time and place for everything. Some people are comfortable with public displays of affection while others aren't. Be mindful and respectful of others. . If your guy is like most modern guys, he appreciates a smart and confident partner. When you let your confidence shine, you remind him of why he fell in love with you in the first place. You also show that you have the self-esteem that many unfaithful partners lack. Express your confidence by speaking up for yourself (calmly) when he’s hurt you. Being a doormat is not part of true love and loyalty. Unforeseen circumstances are one thing. If you had to break tonight's date because you developed a migraine after lunch, that’s understandable.

Sometimes, it makes sense to file items based on key words, regardless of the order that words in a title or name appear. This ensures that a file can be indexed and located using the most logical term. For instance “First Bank of Chicago” could be indexed and filed as “Chicago, First Bank of.” “Chicago” is the key term in this entry, rather than “First” or “Bank,” especially if you might have other items with similar names, such as “First Bank of Tulsa” or “Chicago Bank and Trust.” Typical filing standards recommend indexing individuals by last name first, since the surname is considered the significant term.  Thus, “Jane A. Doe” would be indexed and filed as “Doe, Jane A.” Put titles (Dr., Mrs., Major, etc.) at the end. “Dr. Jane A. Doe,” for instance, would be indexed and filed as “Doe, Jane A., Dr.” Generally, order names as they are spelled, letter-by-letter. For instance, “MacDonald” would come before “McDonald.” Likewise, “D’,” “L’,” “Le,” “de,” etc. are considered as part of name, not separate units. For instance, order files “Heinlein,” “Le Guin” “L’Engle,” and “Wolfe” in that order (and NOT as “L’Engle, “Le Guin,” “Heinlein,” “Wolfe”). A common exception to these rules about names is when an individual’s name forms part of a business or organization name. In these cases, treat the individual’s name as units within the business name. For instance, “Jane A. Doe Pest Control” would be filed under “J,” and NOT indexed as “Doe, Jane A. Pest Control.” Articles (such as “a,” “an,” and “the”), conjunctions (such as “and,” “but,” and “or”), and prepositions (such as “for,” “of,” and “in”) are generally skipped when indexing and filing alphabetically, since they are not considered significant terms. This is the case even when they form the beginning of an item’s name. For instance:  “An Investigation of Emu Feeding Practices” would be in filed under “E,” for “Emu” (the significant word in this item’s title), rather than “A” for “an.” “Doe and Smith Pest Control” would be filed after “Doe, Jane A.” Both...

Sometimes, people demonstrate their worst traits around us because we unwittingly provoke them. Are you always turning in assignments late or asking for additional time? Your own “I’ve got all the time in the world”, laid-back attitude could be contributing to this person’s edginess. Do you need to change?  While your laid-back approach to life may be a part of your charm, it can be frustrating for co-workers or friends who are depending on you. It might be time to think about how you can work on being more mindful of their needs as well. This can be as simple as opening up better lines of communication so they know you are open to change. We all have tendencies that may seem annoying to others. Just as you hope those around you accept you for you, the same is true for accepting the best and worst of those around you.  You may have to get used to people getting impatient if communication isn’t your strong point. A big part of becoming impatient is often the unknown, so if you find those around you becoming a little short it might be useful to figure out why this is happening to you specifically.  If you find in the work place or at home there are certain people who are almost always impatient with you, try asking them for feedback about what makes this happen. If they see you as being disorganized for example, ask them for feedback to take small steps to change that. This can go a long way to not only change your behavior but also tells them you are open to doing better. Empathy really means stepping into the other person’s shoes to see how they might view the situation. Instead of having an emotional response about their impatience, stop to think about where it could be coming from and consider the other person’s role in the task or situation. A big part of empathy can be tied to clearly understanding how your part of the assignment or task at hand affects others. For example, if your coworkers have to wait for your part of a report to start theirs, it might make sense that they are impatient if they do not...

Sometimes, people may have unrealistic expectations of a relationship. If you're feeling disappointed with someone a lot, look at your own expectations. Can you see where your expectations may not be particularly realistic?  Oftentimes, we may have expectations that seeped in from past relationships. For example, say your last girlfriend moved to a city to be with you. She did not have a lot of friends there and, as a result, hung out with you a lot. Your new girlfriend has been living in this city for a while. She may go out more and be less reliant on you for entertainment and socialization. If your expectation is that social events should always be done together, this may be a leftover expectation from your old relationship. It's not really reasonable, considering your new girlfriend's situation.  You may also have expectations that are unrealistic in other ways. For example, your girlfriend may give you a "maybe" if you ask her if she wants to hang out later. For you, a "maybe" might come off as a "probably" or "definitely." You may find yourself consistently disappointed when your girlfriend lets you know she can't make it that night. Maybe your expectations are unrealistic. Many people, especially people with busy schedules, may simply be unable to commit some days. You can start seeing a maybe as a maybe, and expect that you may have to find something else to do that night. If your expectations do seem unreasonable, work on reframing them. Sometimes, future disappointment is less likely if you learn to accept certain things about another person.  Let's return to our above example. Your new girlfriend is clearly more independent. She has her own life, her own career, and her own social circle. She may not be the type of person who needs a significant other to feel complete. In this case, try to reframe what you expect of a romantic relationship. In this relationship, you may not spend all your free time together. Your girlfriend may go out with just her friends a few times a week. Try to accept this is...

Sometimes, people simply don’t know what to do and are actively looking for guidance.  Still, talking with them might allow them to formulate ideas of their own. The point is, always be sure someone wants advice on their relationship before blurting your thoughts out.  One way to avoid giving distracting or unnecessary advice is to ask questions. A great one to start with is, “Do you have any ideas about how to address _______?” Concerns about sex, communication, and financial decision-making are especially common.  Though simply a statement of fact, this point can provide comfort in knowing that other people in other relationships go through the same thing. A great piece of advice is a gentle suggestion that they communicate in a new, potentially more clear way with their partner.  Offer to role play with them, even, and begin with sentences like, “I wanted to talk with you about what each of our expectations and contributions are regarding ________.” Recommend the use of “I” statements, both as a method of communicating, and reflecting. A classic reminder to employ is “If I don’t speak up, I can’t expect other people to know what I want.” In the interest of rekindling affection and admiration, have them sit down and write down a few things they appreciate about their partner.  Tell them to include examples of how their partner demonstrates the characteristics on the list. Encourage your friend or loved one to share the list with their partner.  This might help kick-start a positive and loving conversation, during which others important discussions can happen too. In a committed relationship, simple, everyday interactions matter immensely. If there are concerns about romance dwindling, recommend a few tips to help lovers stay in tune with one another.  Though it may seem silly, point out that couple who store up positive sentiments towards one another will be more ready to deal with incidences of stress or conflict. Remind them to tell their partner that they value their relationship, especially in...

Sometimes, small changes can make a big impact in how much time you're spending online. Simply rearranging the desktop on your computer can help. Get rid of shortcuts that take you to games or websites you enjoy. Keep your laptop or computer out of your bedroom so it's not the first thing you think of in the morning. These are minor changes, but they can help you avoid temptation. Any small thing you can do to delay gratification can deter you from using your computer. When you're not using your computer or laptop, turn it off. If you know you have to wait for it to power up again before use, you may be less likely to spend a spare 10 minutes online. If you have a smart phone, it may encourage the temptation to use your computer. Checking the internet and your social media profiles might tempt you to open up your laptop. Simply scheduling some time away from the phone can help lessen your computer usage.  Make a rule about no phones out during mealtimes, even if you eat alone.  On occasion, go for a walk without your phone. If possible, attend a social event and leave your phone at home. Oftentimes, big commitments are hard to maintain. Change takes time and you may not go from being a computer junkie to spending 2 hours a day technology free. If you're struggling to make a transition, try making small 5 to 15 minute commitments.  Promise yourself you'll take a 15 minute walk 3 times a week. Try to honor this commitment no matter what occurs. This may feel more doable than a goal like, "I'll spend an hour a day working out instead of using the computer."  Scheduling tiny pockets of time can add up. You may find you enjoy your 5 minutes away from your laptop and you'll begin to naturally desire to spend more time offline.

Sometimes, starting the conversation can lead you to a solution. Be polite when you tell you're parents that you are interested in getting a new phone, and really listen to what they have to say. If you can respond to your parents reasons and excuses for not getting you a new phone in a convincing way, they'll be more likely to shell out for your brand new mobile device. You might ask:  "What can I do to earn a new phone?" "Are there any other chores I can help with to prove I'm ready for a new phone?" Stay calm throughout your talk with your parents about your phone situation and keep your cool if you hear a "no" in response. This is an opportunity for you to show your maturity and to earn points with your parents. Instead of getting upset or frustrated, ask your parents:  "What can I do to change your mind?" "What can I do to prove to you that I need a new phone?" This can be tricky, especially if you're too young to work. If you have birthday money saved up, you can offer to put that toward getting a new phone, or you can offer to do more housework in exchange for an allowance.  Offer your services as a babysitter to friends and family who have children that are younger than you who need supervision. You might be able to earn money around your neighborhood doing seasonal chores, like mowing lawns in summer or shoveling snow in winter. When you want something badly, sometimes it's all you can think about. However, asking again and again can irritate your parents, making them less willing to get you a phone. Instead of asking the same question repeatedly, ask in a roundabout way that highlights your recent effort. You might say, for example:  "How does the kitchen look? I've been trying to help out by doing dishes. I thought that maybe if I helped out around the house more, we could talk again about getting me a new phone." "I know you've been busy with work lately, so I vacuumed the house for you. Is there anything else I can help with? I was thinking that if I contributed more, I might be able to get a new...

Sometimes, the way you feel may be mediated by how you expect to feel. For instance, if you expect that watching a movie may make you sad, you may end up feeling sad. If you notice yourself placing expectations on how you ‘’should’’ feel, hold off on making that judgment until you’ve completed the situation. Or, you may consider which situations you want to enter into beforehand. Think about what events trigger your strong emotions, and problem solve how to either avoid them or curb your response. For instance, if you tend to get anxious because you often run late for work, adjust your morning routine so that you are not rushing, and budget extra time for traffic or other surprises. If there is a group of people that bring out lots of unpleasant emotions, decrease your time with them. When you have control of a situation, take it. If you find yourself constantly disappointed in yourself or your abilities, modify your expectations. You may be a perfectionist and feel like if something isn’t 100% perfect, it’s not worth sharing with other people. Especially if you have a deadline, it’s okay to modify the situation in order to manage your emotions more effectively. For instance, you can say, “While my project isn’t 100% perfect, I’m proud of it and I know I did good work.” If you tend to have lofty ideas and expectations, start modifying how you accomplish them. For instance, you can call in help from other people, or choose a goal that is less lofty, but attainable. ” While you are absolutely allowed to feel your feelings, remember that a feeling doesn’t equate with truth. This is also true of thoughts. When you feel like reacting to something, remind yourself that you may not have all of the information yet, and your thoughts and feelings may change. Your thoughts and feelings change constantly and do not define you.

Sometimes, wearing the right type of sock with your shoe is all that you need to fix painful shoes. These types of socks offer support to your feet, wick away moisture, and help prevent chafing and blisters. Here are some types of specialized socks that you might be able to find, and what they can do for you:  Athletic socks are tighter in the arch area. This helps offer arch support, and makes them ideal for athletic and running shoes. Moisture wicking socks will help remove sweat from around your feet. This will help keep your feet dry and prevent blisters. Running socks have extra padding on the underside, This will help absorb the impact your foot makes when you run. Toe socks are like gloves, but for your feet instead. They cover each toe separately, and may help prevent blisters between toes. Consider the material. Some materials, such as cotton, soak up sweat too easily, which can lead to blisters. Acrylic, polyester, and polypropylene help remove sweat, leaving your feet dry. Flip-flops can be comfortable and easy to wear. When the thong starts to dig in between your toes, however, they can become painful. Here are some tricks you can try to make flip-flops less painful:  Use silicon flip-flop inserts. They are shaped like ball-of-foot cushions, except that they have a little cylinder that sticks up near the front. Place the insert in the front of your flip-flop, then slip the thong part into the cylinder. The cylinder will help prevent the thong from digging in between your toes. Wrap the thong area with some adhesive moleskin. The will be especially effective on plastic or rubber flip-flops. It will help cushion your foot and soften any sharp edges. Wrap some fabric around the thong. You can even continue wrapping the fabric around the straps for a colorful, personal touch. Secure both ends of the fabric to the shoe with a drop of shoe glue. You can use micro-suede insoles to absorb odor-causing sweat, or you can stick some tea bags into the shoes while you are not wearing them. The tea bags will...

Sometimes, when people are upset, they need to vent and for someone to just hear them out. Show that you take their concerns seriously and are willing to try and understand what is going on. This means you will have to adapt the way you communicate, to focus more on reflecting what the other person is saying. Try saying things like "I'm definitely hearing why you're upset," or "you were right, that would be irritating to anyone.” Avoid saying things like “You shouldn’t really be upset about this” or “I don’t understand why this is bothering you,” even if that is how you actually feel.

Sometimes, when we have low self-confidence, we tend to isolate ourselves from others. The fear of being rejected or embarrassing ourselves causes us to miss out on opportunities to be social. Unfortunately, people around us may get the wrong impression, assuming we don't want to be around them or don't like them. Sooner or later, the invites may stop coming.   Instead of saying "no" to invites to parties and social gatherings, start to say "yes". Of course, you won't be able to attend every single event you are invited to, but try your best to come if you can. Saying "yes" gives the host the signal that you actually are interested in building a relationship with him or her. What's more, the more practice you get in social situations, the more your confidence will grow. Even if you feel shy or weird initially, challenge yourself to go anyway. Visualization is a powerful tool utilized by top athletes and other successful people. Before entering a stressful situation — from a party where you don't know anyone to an important presentation to a big game — imagine yourself completely nailing it. Picture yourself walking into the party with confidence and greeting the first group of people you meet; imagine giving your presentation without mistakes and fielding questions with ease; picture yourself making that basket, touchdown, or goal. Your brain cannot tell the difference between something that is real and something you imagine. So if you imagine yourself walking into the party and striking up a conversation with a stranger, that course of action becomes more and more familiar to your brain. By the time you get to the situation in real life, it will be as though you have already done it, and it may feel more familiar and easier to do. Low self-confidence is often stimulated by being overly self-conscious. This tendency to pay so much attention to ourselves in every single situation  only worsens our negative feelings. Rather than focusing on yourself, aim to focus on others. Become engaged in conversation, and...

Sometimes, when you hit a wall, the best way to address it is by going in a different direction. Experts suggest learning something new to overcome mental blocks, so take advantage of this advice and force your brain to look at the problem in a novel way. Try to walk a friend through what you’re doing. Encourage them to ask questions. Having to step back and view your problem from a different perspective may help you derive at a creative solution. You can experience a mental block due to feeling overwhelmed by the size and scope of a project. If this is happening to you, stop looking at the project as a whole and focus on one part at a time. Doing this relieves stress and boosts productivity. For example, if you are tasked with building a website, you might start by getting a sheet of paper and drawing up a rough draft of what you want it to look like. Then, go in and build the basic structure, add security and software, and then add content and finishing details. It may seem counterintuitive, but one way to get some perspective on your problem is by reconnecting with the desired outcome. You may have hit a wall because you are getting caught up on details. If this is the case, it can help to visualize your end goal and disregard the details for the time being.  Close your eyes and take a few  deep breaths. Now, use your senses to envision yourself accomplishing your desired goal. For instance, if your goal is to write a book, see yourself sending a final manuscript to a publisher. Imagine all the energy that you feel around you and inside you—the sounds, sensations, and sights. Once that image is firm in your mind, envision the process of getting there. See yourself completing every single action from outlining and researching to revising and designing a cover jacket. . Another method for changing the way you’re looking at your problem is by seeking out advice. This may seem like an obvious solution, but many people overlook the resources at their fingertips.

Sometimes, without realizing it, you're accidentally one-upping people during conversations. This is often due to nervousness. You may try to bring up a story that relates, but some stories may seem bigger or more important than the other person's story. For example, someone is talking about a weekend vacation to a city a few miles out of town. Do not bring up your month long trip to Europe after graduation. It may come off like bragging. Try to keep the stories you share equal. For example, if someone brings up a modest vacation, talk about a similar vacation you've taken. For example, talk about the weekend trips you took to your grandmother's house as a kid. Go into the conversation operating under the assumption everyone is a blank slate. Do not assume someone will agree with you or share your values. People are biased to assume those they engage with share similar values and beliefs, but this often not true. In conversation, remember you do not know how this person feels about a given topic.  Debates can be enjoyable and, if someone seems open to the idea, it's okay to share your beliefs. However, make sure not to introduce a topic in a way that makes assumptions. For example, when commenting on a recent election, do not say, "That was such a letdown, right?" Instead, bring up the topic in a way that invites the other person to share their beliefs. For example, "What did you think of the recent election?" People do not want to make conversation with people who are judgmental. During any conversation, remind yourself you're trying to learn about another person. You are not there to make judgments or assumptions. Refrain from analyzing what's being said and instead focus on listening. This will give you less time to judge, making people comfortable sharing with you. It's easy to let your mind wander during conversation. Make sure not to do so. If you seem absent minded, people will not want to talk to you. Keep your mind in the here and now and avoid thinking about what you're going to say next or...

Sometimes, you may have a problem that contains fractions as coefficients or constants. You are allowed to leave them as they are and apply the basic rules of algebra to solve the problem. However, using the distributive property can often simplify the solution by turning the fractions into integers. Consider the example x−3=x3+16{\displaystyle x-3={\frac {x}{3}}+{\frac {1}{6}}}. The fractions in this problem are x3{\displaystyle {\frac {x}{3}}} and 16{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{6}}}. For this step, you can ignore all the integers. Look only at the fractions, and find the LCM for all the denominators. To find the LCM, you need the smallest number that is evenly divisible by the denominators of the fractions in the equation. In this example, the denominators are 3 and 6, so the LCM is 6. Remember that you can perform any operation that you want to an algebra equation, as long as you do it equally to both sides. Multiply all terms of the equation by the LCM, and the fractions will cancel out and “become” integers. Place parentheses around the entire left and right sides of the equation and then perform the distribution:   x−3=x3+16{\displaystyle x-3={\frac {x}{3}}+{\frac {1}{6}}}…..(original equation)  (x−3)=(x3+16){\displaystyle (x-3)=({\frac {x}{3}}+{\frac {1}{6}})}…..(insert parentheses)  6(x−3)=6(x3+16){\displaystyle 6(x-3)=6({\frac {x}{3}}+{\frac {1}{6}})}…..(multiply both sides by LCM)  6x−6(3)=6(x3)+6(16){\displaystyle 6x-6(3)=6({\frac {x}{3}})+6({\frac {1}{6}})}…..(distribute multiplication)  6x−18=2x+1{\displaystyle 6x-18=2x+1}…..(simplify multiplication) Combine all of the terms so all the variables appear on one side of the equation, and all constants appear on the other. Use basic operations of addition and subtraction to move terms from one side to the other.   6x−18=2x+1{\displaystyle 6x-18=2x+1}…..(simplified problem)  6x−2x−18=2x−2x+1{\displaystyle 6x-2x-18=2x-2x+1}…..(subtract 2x from both sides)  4x−18=1{\displaystyle 4x-18=1}…..(simplify subtraction)  4x−18+18=1+18{\displaystyle...

Sometimes, you need a little help working on yourself so that you can be open to new friendships. Excessive negative thoughts and feelings might signal an issue that requires professional help. Plus, if you have trouble socializing, it might indicate social anxiety, shyness, or some other issue. A counselor can help you work on these issues so you feel more confident making friends. You may have some friends living right under the same roof--your family members! They can be great friends, even if you don't think of them that way. Spend some time hanging out with your parents or siblings, or check in on them as often as you can. You may not think that they're great resources or that they can help you through tough times, but they can. Start a fun, new tradition, like a weekly game night or a  Friday movie night with pizza! Though pets can't replace people, they are known to be loyal, incredible companions that can relieve stress and make your days more fulfilling. You can go to your local animal shelter and get a dog or cat. As a bonus, pets can actually help you make new friends! Your pet gives you an excuse to get outside and talk to fellow pet owners that you meet on the streets or in the park.

Soon-to-be moms should always register for gifts for their baby showers. Many register at places such as Target or Walmart. Car seats, strollers, and other big items are important to register for, but there are also many people who would love to buy something for your little one but lack the money to purchase something pricey. Baby clothes are the perfect gift for people on a budget (which, let's face it, many of us are). Register for newborn clothes as well as clothes in 0-3 and 3-6 month sizes. Visit websites and blogs that are geared at new parents or do an Internet search for "baby clothing giveaways." There are many people and companies who are eager to help, especially if they think that doing so can promote their own store or blog. Some contests may give away clothes, while others will give away gift cards that can be used on clothes. In addition to looking for contests focused on providing baby supplies, you can also search for contests that have nothing to do with babies as long as the award includes a gift card to a department store or another store that sells baby clothes. If you're in a difficult financial situation and you cannot afford baby clothes, you may qualify to receive help from numerous charitable organizations. Church charities can be extremely helpful to individuals going through a rough time, and you may also be able to get free baby clothes from secular charities, as well. Look online to find the charities near you. Contact local community organizations for low-income or teen mothers. A Chamber of Commerce or town hall may be able to give you a list. These groups will give you used clothing that has been donated. When your baby outgrows them, you can pay it forward by donating them and other clothes back.

Sooner or later, you need to commit to either talking to your crush about the way you feel or staying silent. Being undecided about a crush is a terrible feeling. Making a decision can be scary, but it gives you closure. You get to either take things to the next level with your crush or start moving on, but either way you don't have to worry about it anymore.  Often, honesty is the best policy. Being open about your crush can feel like taking a huge weight off your chest — no matter what happens, you were true to your heart. It also lets you avoid nagging feelings of regret. In other words, you won't be wondering, "What would have happened if I had talked to my crush?" in a few weeks. Try explaining to him that you don't want to ruin the friendship and you wouldn't like it to be awkward. Usually he would accept that and try to keep things as normal as they were before whilst deciding his next move. On the other hand, if you really don't want to open up about your crush or you have good reason to think it's a bad idea, you shouldn't ever feel like you need to. An example of a situation where it would be a bad idea to act on a crush is if your crush is already with someone else. If you decide that you're going to open up to your crush, don't waste time waiting for the "perfect moment." It probably will never come. In the meantime, your crush may lose interest or even start to think that you don't like him anymore. Pick a time and place where you can be alone with your crush and stick to this. Your best chances for romance will come if you seize the opportunities you are given. For example, if your crush is someone you know from school, you might arrange to meet this person after school in a secluded spot. It doesn't have to be 100% deserted — just reasonably private. A park bench, for instance, will usually work fine. Opening up to your crush doesn't have to be a huge, dramatic production. In fact, if you make a big deal about it, you may even scare your crush off. Instead, keep the conversation low-pressure...

Sophisticated company will improve your level of sophistication. You shouldn’t drop all of your friends at a moment’s notice just because they aren’t as sophisticated as you’d like them to be; you should, however, make a goal of hanging out with more cultured, interesting, and open-minded people so that you can improve your own level of thinking.  You can meet sophisticated people at book clubs, book readings, gallery openings and events, poetry readings, concerts, or at any art-inspired events. Being sophisticated means that you should keep your act together in public. This does not necessarily mean you never show any emotion, just that you do not fall to pieces in public. A sophisticated person gets angry with a witty retort, not by shouting obscenities. A sophisticated person may cry at a funeral, but not make a scene about it. If you find yourself getting angry in public, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths until you feel yourself returning to normal. It’s sophisticated to sip a glass of Rosé or white wine on your patio and keep up witty conversation—it’s not sophisticated to be seen stumbling around a bar, falling into stools and not being able to keep your food down. If you want to be sophisticated and have embarrassing drinking habits, then it’s time to change your ways. The next time you go out, stick to having just one or two drinks, or to drinking until you feel slightly buzzed and then stopping. If you want people to think you’re sophisticated, although it goes deep down within yourself, then people will take you seriously, and nobody takes a person who can’t hold his liquor very seriously. Though being confident isn’t the same as being sophisticated, both are qualities of people who look like they know what they’re doing. If you’re sophisticated, then you’re not immature, unsure of yourself, or generally clueless. You can demonstrate your competence by operating with a quiet confidence whenever you can. This means staying positive, showing that you love who you are and what you do, and not...

First, read the English article below.

Soporific means “sleep-inducing.” For example, some foods are high in the sleep-inducing amino acid tryptophan, like cheese, chicken, soy products, eggs, tofu, fish, milk, turkey, nuts, peanuts and peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds. Choose foods that have these qualities, especially for dinner.  To activate tryptophan more efficiently, favor foods that are high in complex carbohydrates but medium to low in protein. Carbs make tryptophan more available in the brain, whereas protein has the opposite effect.. Plan “meals for sleep” that load up on complex carbs and tryptophan. Try pasta with Parmesan cheese, hummus with whole wheat pita bread, peanut butter on toast, sesame seeds sprinkled on salad with tuna chunks with whole wheat crackers on the side, or a baked potato with cottage cheese. Limit the amount of food that you eat in the late afternoon and early evening, as it can affect the quality of your sleep. Lighter meals are more likely to give you a restful night, for example, whereas high-fat meals and large servings prolong the work your digestive system needs to do, and all the gas production and rumblings may keep you awake. Some people find that highly-seasoned foods (e.g., hot peppers and garlic) interfere with sleep, especially heartburn-sufferers. Avoid them if you have heartburn troubles. Coffee and other caffeinated beverages can disrupt your sleep patterns. Coffee stays inside your system for up to 8 hours after you drink it, so that cup you had in the afternoon could be keeping you up later at night. Try to go without caffeine in the later afternoon and early evening. Alcohol will also wreak havoc on your sleep patterns. When you drink, you tend to sleep lighter and fall into fewer periods of deep sleep or restorative Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. So even if you think a drink or 2 helps you fall asleep at night, you'll likely wake up tired and not feeling rested. Research indicates that magnesium supplements may help to improve your overall sleep quality. Try taking a small dose,...

Sore muscles are usually not a major medical concern and will heal on their own with rest. However, under certain conditions, you should see a doctor for evaluation.  You should go to the ER if sore muscles are accompanied by trouble breathing, dizziness, extreme muscle weakness, or a high fever and stiff neck.  If you have a tick bite or rash accompanied by sore muscles, see your doctor for evaluation.  Soreness around the calves after exercise should be evaluated by your doctor.  Signs of infection around a sore muscle, like redness or swelling, should be looked at by a doctor. If your muscles suddenly became sore after you started taking a new medication, talk to your doctor.  Any muscle soreness that lasts longer than a week should be evaluated by a doctor. If you think your muscle soreness requires medical attention, make an appointment with your physician. He or she should be able to evaluate your muscle pain and make a plan for treatment.  At your appointment, your doctor will ask you a variety of questions regarding your pain. He or she will want to know when your pain started, how long it's lasted, its location, any medications you're taking, and whether you have any other symptoms.  Depending on your medical history, your doctor may order certain tests. He or she may want to do x-rays, a blood count, or other blood tests. This can help check for certain medical conditions that can cause sore muscles. Therapeutic deep-tissue massage can help relieve muscle soreness, especially if it's done after you exercise. If you have consistent muscle soreness, talk to your doctor about the possibility of a medical massage referral. Often, insurance companies will cover medical massage if it treats a medical condition. If your sore muscles are the result of an injury, your doctor may recommend physical therapy. The type and duration of physical depend on your current health, medical history, and the specific cause of your muscle soreness. Your doctor should be able to provide you with a referral to a physical therapist.

Sores can appear on the penis, scrotum, and even inside the urethra. Genital herpes is a viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). This classically causes a painful sore on the penis or vagina. Though outbreaks of genital herpes can be managed with medication, once a person is infected, they will always carry the virus in their body. Itching is typically the first symptoms of a herpes infection. Herpes sores are also painful, which can help you differentiate herpes from other conditions. Herpes sores can occur inside the urethra, making urination painful.

Get rid of all the eggs that are damaged so you don't contaminate the ones that are good. Once you clean your eggs, set them in a reusable egg carton so the larger end is face-up. If the eggs are freshly laid, you can choose to store them on your countertop at room temperature for 2 weeks or in your fridge for up to 1 month.  You can buy reusable egg cartons online. You can also put your eggs in a large bowl if you don't have a reusable egg carton.

Sort through the things you have in your office and determine how often you use them. If you have any items that you rarely or never use, put them in a separate box or container. Once you go through your entire office, get rid of anything you have in the box so it doesn’t add any clutter. If you’re in an office building, put any unused supplies back in a supply closet so other people can take them if they need to. Place 1-2 cups on your desk within arm’s reach and place all your pens inside of them. Store other long office supplies, such as scissors in their own cups as well. Store the pens and supplies so they point down so you don’t accidentally hurt yourself when you try grabbing for something.  You can also buy desktop organizers that have various compartments if you don’t want to use multiple cups. Use glass mason jars if you want your desk to look more decorative. Get silverware trays that have multiple compartments so you can separate your office supplies. Store similar supplies together in the same section of the tray so you stay organized. Put the things you use often in front of the drawer and anything you use less toward the back. You can also buy small plastic bins and lay them out inside your drawers however you want. Put items that you don’t use frequently inside storage bins and keep them in a closet or shelf if you can. Only put 1-2 different items in the same bin so they don’t get disorganized. Make paper labels for each of your bins and tape them on the side so you can see what’s stored in them at a glance. Be descriptive with your labels so you don’t get confused later on. You can buy plastic storage bins from any department store or online. Cords underneath your desk can look disorganized and easily tangle around your feet.

Sound bouncing off the walls can affect your recordings and create unwanted effects. If you create music at a mixer or desk, consider putting acoustic foam behind it. Covering an entire wall will significantly reduce sound reflection, however, you only need a single panel to notice a difference when you record.  Position the foam so that it's in between both of your studio monitors or speakers. Acoustic foam will not soundproof a room. Acoustic foam should be centered on the wall and at ear level. Installing foam on the wall across from your speakers will minimize how much sound bounces back into your recording device. Place panels in areas directly across from speakers to minimize how much the sound bounces. You only need a single panel for this, however larger coverage will further reduce the sound reverberations. Use a clean rag or cloth saturated in rubbing alcohol to remove dirt from the walls that you want the foam to go on. Cleaning the walls before installing the acoustic foam will help the foam stick. Do not use regular household cleaners because it can reduce the adhesion of the foam. Lay the foam panels on a flat surface side by side and use a tape measure to record their total length and width and record it on a piece of paper. Then, take your measurements and mark out the area on the wall where you want to install them. This will give you an idea of how much space they will take up.  Small recording studios may only need a single foam panel behind the mixer. If you don’t have enough room on your wall, use fewer foam panels. Cutting the foam with an electric knife will give it a clean edge. Hold the panel on its thin end and use a carving knife to cut down through the acoustic foam. Carefully move the carving knife down the panel to cut it to size. Draw an X in each corner of the installation site according to your measurements. Line a level against each corner of the installation area and draw straight lines to create the edges for your foam panels. Doing this in advance will help you keep the...

Soundproofing curtains are heavier than typical household curtains. They need to be installed on thick curtain rods with heavy duty tracks and brackets. Shop for these items online or at a sound equipment store. If you buy the curtains in person, you can discuss installing the curtains with the salesperson. They can recommend good rods, tracks, and brackets for the curtains. Once you install the curtains, test them out to ensure they work properly. Try playing music just behind the curtain or make noise outside to see if the curtain absorbs the sound. Notice if the curtains block out all noise or only very loud noise. If the curtains are not working as you’d like, do not be afraid to trade them in or replace them for something better. Go back to the place of purchase and discuss other options for soundproofing in your home.
