Problem: Article: If nothing else works, you may consider limiting or ending your friendship. Letting go of a friendship is a serious decision. Think carefully about your friendship and whether it is worth holding onto, or if you need time away from them. You and your friend might just be going through a rough patch. Has your friend always been the one-upping type? If not, they might be struggling in their personal life. Postpone ending the friendship until you know what's going on. Face the tough questions. How do you feel when you're around them? Does this person bring out your best, or your worst? Do you care about them, and do they care about you? If you don't want to be friends anymore, temporarily separate yourself from them.Think about how you feel. Do you feel better or worse? Do you miss them? How do you want to proceed? Let your friend know. Tell them the purpose and duration of your break, and answer any questions they have. If you ignore them for seemingly no reason, they may feel confused. Say something like, "Kelsie, I appreciate our friendship but think we might need some space. I need time to cool down and think about our friendship. Could we take a break from each other for a few days? If you have questions, I'd be happy to answer them." After your break, return to the decision with a clear head. If you felt happier during your separation, ending the friendship might be best. Don't ignore the person. You don't have to engage with them, but they still deserve basic respect. Tell them your decision. If you avoid them with seemingly no reason, they may feel hurt. Keep their feelings in mind, and avoid insulting them. You might say, "Robin, I've appreciated your friendship but think it might be best if we spend less time together. When you brag, I feel like you don't care about me. I know we talked about this in the past, but I don't think either of us changed after we talked. You are a great person, but I think we might not work well together. I think it would be a good idea if we spend less time around each other. Is that alright?" When you've been hurt by a friend, painful feelings might linger. You may feel anger, grief, or a deep sense of loss. In the case of painful relationships, distance is the best medicine. Do whatever you must to move on. Block their number and avoid spending time around them. If your old friend persistently contacts you, do not respond more than necessary. Be polite, but avoid falling into old habits. Do not react if they insult you in-person or through social media. Instead, let a close friend know, and tell a trusted adult if you are underage. They can help you deal with the situation. Your friend might realize how their behavior affects others and apologize later. It's up to you whether you want to rekindle the relationship: don't let them pressure you into it if you're not ready.
Summary: Ask yourself if the relationship is healthy. Give yourself space. End the friendship, if needed. Move on.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Defragmenting a hard drive is only necessary on heavily used Windows computers. As the hard drive ages, pieces of data become scattered throughout it, thus increasing the amount of time it takes for that data to be retrieved. Defragmenting the hard drive places all of the "fragments" back in the same general part of the hard drive. If your computer uses a solid-state drive (SSD), you should never defragment it. If your computer's hard drive is almost full, defragmenting it may not have much of an effect. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen. This will search for the Disk Defrag app. It's at the top of the Start window. Click the hard drive that you want to optimize. On most PCs, the main hard drive's name is OS (C:). You'll find it on the right side of the window. Disk Defrag will begin running. It may take several hours for your computer's disk to finish defragmenting, so just make sure that the computer is plugged in and free of external interruptions.

SUMMARY: Understand what defragmenting does. Open Start . Type in defragment and optimize drives. Click Defragment and Optimize Drives. Select your hard drive. Click Optimize. Allow Disk Defrag to run.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The trouble with any label is that it tends to reduce people to nothing more than stereotypes and hollow shells. Before you approach an otaku girl, remind yourself that she is an individual person with her own quirks, beliefs, and personality. Some of her characteristics might scream "typical" otaku, but many won't. The same thing can be said about impressing her once you've already met and started to date. There is no single set of steps that can be used on every girl who falls under the "otaku" labelincluding the steps listed in this article. Use the label as a starting point, but always personalize your approach based on the specific girl. Otaku girls can often be found online in chat rooms, forums, and various social media websites. Moreover, these girls are often comfortable interacting in the digital realm and can appreciate an online meeting just as well as an offline one. Navigate forums related to anime, manga, or other aspects of otaku culture. Join active groups on Facebook or other social media websites about those topics, as well, and participate in the discussions that go on as much as possible. When you find an interesting girl, start following her on her blog or on one or two social media websites. Don't follow all of her accounts at once, though, since doing so may come on too strong and scare her away. Not every otaku girl is glued to her computer monitor, of course. The vast majority have lives in the real world, and if you want a more traditional meeting, your best bet is to track down the otaku girl in her natural habitat. In other words, go someplace related to her interests since she'd be likely to visit there in her free time. For example, try going to a store that has a wide selection of anime or manga. Spend time at an arcade. See a movie that has a large female fandom or, if you're feeling especially daring, try going to an anime convention. Once you find a girl who piques your interest, you need to make a good first impression. You don't necessarily need a flashy, witty pick-up line, though. Striking up an interesting conversation might be more than enough. Discussions about shows, movies, and related media tend to be a good place to start, especially if you see her looking at a similar series in a store. If you don't know enough about her likely interests, you could even start the conversation by confessing your lack of knowledge and asking her to make a recommendation.
Summary:
Check the stereotypes at the door. Log on. Venture into the real world. Approach her with a good opening line.
