In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you start to think thoughts like "I'm not good enough," or "There's something wrong with me," say to yourself, "Stop! These are not productive thoughts, and I have the power to change my mindset." The first step to being confident in social situations is to change the thought patterns that give rise to insecurity. Harsh self-criticism is usually based on distorted thinking. Stop beating yourself up, remain objective, and challenge distorted thoughts. Don't dwell on past relationships or think of them as "failures." Accept the fact that you can't change the past. Instead, move on and seize opportunities to become a more fulfilled and fruitful person. You don't have to be perfect to form new platonic or romantic relationships. In fact, being open and honest about vulnerabilities is how people bond with each other. Accept your imperfections, work on what you can change, and show yourself some compassion. Try not to fear being rejected. If things don't work out with a potential friend or partner, don't assume that it's your fault or there's something wrong with you. Sometimes people are incompatible, have a misunderstanding, or are just in a bad mood. It might feel stressful and risky, but you have to meet and interact with people in order to curb loneliness. Put yourself out there and make connections with new people. With each baby step, you'll get a little more comfortable in your own skin. Challenge yourself to try new things, to talk to new people, and to engage in unfamiliar situations. If your coworkers invite you out after work, take them up on their offer. If you're in line at the store, strike up conversation with the person next to you or with the cashier. If you're anxious about awkward silences or not knowing what to say, just ask questions. Most people like talking about themselves, so asking questions is a good way to get a conversation flowing. You could ask someone "What do you do for work," or "Have you seen any good movies lately?" If you're at a party, you could ask, "So how do you know the host?" While waiting for class to start, you could ask the person next to you, "How about that pop quiz yesterday? It really pulled the rug right out from under me!" Set reasonable expectations, and work on improving your social confidence one step at a time. For instance, you could start by smiling and waving at a neighbor while walking down the street. The next time you see your neighbor, you could introduce yourself and take a minute to chat. You could talk about the neighborhood, say how cute their dog is, or compliment their garden. As you become friendly, you could invite them over for coffee or tea
Summary: Redirect negative, critical thoughts. Work on making yourself vulnerable. Take healthy social risks. Spur conversations by asking questions. Build your confidence in social settings gradually.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place the cloth over the bucket, then tip the bucket over a clean bucket or pot. You may also use a screen wire or a clean white t-shirt to strain the mash. Clamp down the lid and place it on a stovetop burner. You may discard the solids that you strained out with the cheesecloth. Run the copper tubing run from the lid (or vent) of the pressure cooker to a sink filled with cold water. Coil the middle of the copper tubing in the cold water, then run the other end of the tube over the edge of the sink to a clean container on the floor. Let the contents heat to exactly 177 F (80 C) and no more. This is the approximate boiling point of grain alcohol. As the pressure cooker heats, the alcohol turns into ethanol steam, travels through the condensing tube to cool. The resulting liquid drips into the container on the floor. That's the moonshine. The liquid that comes out of the copper tube before the cooker reaches 177 F (80 C) contains methanol, which becomes steam at a lower temperature than ethanol. This low-boiling liquid must be discarded. Methanol attacks the optic nerves when consumed. You'll probably have to discard at least two ounces of liquid before the ethanol, which can actually be consumed, begins to emerge. Keep monitoring the temperature and collecting alcohol until the temperature rises above or drops below 177 F (80 C). You should be able to collect about 2 gallons (7.6L) of liquid. Finished moonshine is between 180 and 190 proof (90 to 95%) - practically pure grain alcohol. To make this product drinkable, responsible brewers cut it to half strength by mixing with pure spring water.
Summary: Strain the sour mash through a cheesecloth. Pour the strained mash liquid into the pressure cooker. Position the copper tubing to create a condenser. Turn on the burner under the pressure cooker. Transfer the alcohol to jars.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your rabbit needs to be fed the right types of food every day to ensure he has the nutrients needed for his health and digestion. This includes commercial pellets, which should be fresh as possible. Your mature rabbit should be fed at least to cup of pellets every day depending on his size. If you rabbit is younger than a year old, allow him to eat as much as he wants so he can grow properly. He also needs hay to ensure he gets enough fiber for proper digestion and to prevent serious illnesses. The best hay is grass-type hay, which should be available in his cage and at meal times. Avoid making alfalfa or clover hay his main type of hay. It is too rich for his system all the time. Your Harlequin rabbit also needs leafy green vegetables give him even more fiber. Give these to him three to four times a day. These include greens include dandelion greens, raw broccoli stems, carrot tops, and lettuces of all kinds except iceberg. In order for him to process all the fiber and nutrients in his diet, your Harlequin rabbit needs to be given plenty of access to water at all times. Once common water distribution is automatic dripper bottle, which can be attached to his cage. This is easy for him to drink from and will not spill. You can use a heavy ceramic bowl if your rabbit will not use a bottle. These bowls cannot be chewed like a plastic bowl and are much harder to knock over. The water bowl should be cleaned often and checked daily. There are certain foods that are considered treats for your rabbit. These should only be fed to him in small amounts and only every so often. Treats you can give your rabbit include: Alfalfa or clover hay, which should only be given to him a few times a week in small doses because they have too much protein and calcium. Fruit and starchy vegetables, which are great in small doses but have too much sugar and starch in them for every day. Do not feed your rabbit more than two tablespoons of fruit per day. Other human foods other than the vegetables listed above are great in small doses as treats. Avoid feeding him corn, because the hulls may cause digestive tract issues
Summary:
Feed him enough pellets. Give him the right kind of hay. Provide him vegetables. Keep him hydrated. Feed him treats sparingly.
