If you want to succeed in friendship and romance, you can't take every comment or joke as a personal affront. People sometimes say things they don't mean and you also might misinterpret what they're saying. Self-blaming or exaggerating your faults can only harm your heart and your chances of meeting that great girl! Great boxers go in the ring knowing there's a chance they'll lose. Similarly, you can't expect to succeed every time. No one is a 100% match and not everyone will get along. Instead, view every encounter with a woman as a positive learning experience. By putting yourself out there and being rejected, you'll realize that being rejected isn't the end of the world. You'll never succeed if you don't try. Not asking means never getting that first date! Shyness and hesitation occur when you think about your flaws. Instead, focus your thoughts entirely on the woman you're talking to. You'll forget about your jitters and she'll be flattered by the attention. Remember that most people you meet are too busy worrying about what others think about them to really notice and judge you. Look around and realize that people aren't laughing at you or judging you. Conquer your fears of speaking to girls socially by building your confidence. Training similar to cognitive behavioural therapy can guide you through confidence-building exercises and you can attend groups or personal counselling, or use an app to do it on your own. There are also TED Talks for shyness that can inspire you and give you hints. Practice using real-life situations and measure your shyness and anxiety before and after. You'll see that your shyness and anxiety decrease as you practice more and your confidence increases.

One-sentence summary -- Let things roll off your back. Learn to face rejection. Be less self-conscious. Cope with social anxiety.

Q: Set a bathroom scale outside and make sure it's zeroed out so you get an accurate reading. Put your empty propane tank on top of the scale and read the weight. Compare the weight of the tank to the tare weight to see if there is any difference. For example, if your tank has a tare weight of 20 pounds (9.1kg) and it weighs 22 pounds (10.0kg) on the scale, then it still has 2 pounds (0.91kg) of propane left. Make sure the scale and tank are on a flat surface so they don't tip over while you're filling. Choose a connector hose that has propane fittings on the end and is long enough to reach between your propane tank and the larger supply tank. Screw the connector hose counterclockwise onto the port attached to the valve on your empty tank until it's hand-tight. Then use a wrench to tighten the connection so it doesn't leak. Connect the other end of the hose to the port on the supply tank you're transferring propane from. You can buy connector hoses and propane fittings from your local hardware store. If you don't have a propane supply tank on your property, you may need to go to a propane dealer where they can fill your tank for you. If you're filling a 1 pound (0.45kg) propane tank, you can buy a connector that attaches to the larger tank. Turn the valve on the empty tank counterclockwise to open it and let propane inside. Then, open the valve on the tank you're transferring propane from by turning it counterclockwise. You will start to hear the propane hissing through the connector hose once both of the tanks are open. If your tanks are the same temperature, then the propane won't transfer between them easily. Turn on a garden hose so a weak stream comes out of the nozzle. Set the nozzle on top of the tank so the water runs down the sides and cools the tank while it's filling up. If you're filling an empty 1 pound (0.45kg) propane tank, then you can put it inside a freezer for 30 minutes for you fill it to make it colder. Since propane expands when it's hot, you can only fill it up to 80% full so it doesn't burst when it gets hot. Calculate 80% of the tank's capacity and add the tare weight to find how much your tank will weigh when it's full. When the tank reaches the weight you calculated, rotate the valves on both tanks clockwise to close them. For example, if your tank can hold 20 pounds (9.1kg) of propane and the tare weight is 20 pounds (9.1kg), stop filling the tank once the scale reads 3536 pounds (1616kg). The bleeder valve is a screw underneath the main valve and helps remove any excess propane from your tank. Put on gloves to protect yourself from any liquid propane if there is any. Turn the screw counterclockwise with a screwdriver to open the bleeder valve. If liquid squirts out of the valve, leave it open until there's only vapor. If gas or vapor comes out of the valve, turn the screw clockwise to seal it again.
A: Set the propane tank on a scale to weigh it. Connect the empty propane tank to a larger supply tank with a connector hose. Open the valves on each of the propane tanks. Cool the tank you're filling with cold water to help the propane transfer. Close the tank valves when the tank is 80% full. Open the bleeder valve on the tank you filled to make sure it isn't too full.
