Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Complete "list" questions as thoroughly as possible. Answer "yes-or-no" questions simply. Be concise when answering narrative questions. Leave open the possibility for future amendments to questions about trial preparation.

Answer: "List" questions are those questions that will directly ask you to list specific pieces of related information. You must provide each known piece of information requested. An example of a standard list question might read, "List the names, business addresses, dates of employment, and rates of pay regarding all employers for whom you have worked over the past five years." Leaving information off your list can prevent various witnesses and evidence from being introduced. Moreover, if the information you omit is revealed during the trial, the validity of your testimony could be called into question. When asked for dates, be precise if possible, but do not guess. If you can only remember the month and year, then say so. If you can only remember the year, then say that. However, if you can readily find the answer for a precise date, you should do so. When necessary, go through your records to answer list questions as thoroughly as possible. If you know that there is information you are unable to recall and do not have records for, mention this fact after completing the rest of the list. Yes-or-no questions are fairly straightforward. The first part of the question will ask a closed-ended question that you'll need to answer with a "yes" or "no." The second part of the question will ask you to provide further detail. For example, a yes-or-no question might ask something like, "Were you receiving treatment for any physical disability or sickness during the time of the complaint? If so, state the nature of the condition, the type of treatment, the date you began treatment, and the physician in charge of your treatment." If your answer is "no," all you need to do is write "no." Do not answer the second part of the question. If your answer is "yes," you will need to answer the second part of the question with information that is both thorough and accurate. Narrative questions are open-ended and ask you to describe events related to the case. Provide accurate, complete information, but do not answer more than is necessary. If adding some particular details will help your case, then include them. But do not feel compelled to include details that may not help your case. An example of a narrative question could be something like, "Describe in detail the actions you performed leading up to the accident mentioned in the complaint, including the known results of each action." Provide brief answers that address all of the points raised in the question while mentioning little else. Do not include irrelevant details, and make sure that your answers do not shift the blame for an incident to yourself. If you are asked to answer what you could have done to avoid an accident or incident, don't guess or speculate on what actions you may have taken. It is better to write, "There was nothing I could do to prevent it" or even simply "I don't know what else could have been done." If describing injuries, mention any and all injuries linked to the incident, including those you believe to be minor. Remember that any facts you leave out of your interrogatory answers might not later be admitted in court. Some questions may ask about your plan for the trial, such as, "List all expert witnesses you intend to call at trial." At the time that you are dealing with the interrogatories, you may not have yet identified any expert witnesses. So you will answer, "No expert witnesses are known at this time. I reserve the right to amend this answer if and when any are identified." Then, if you do find an expert witness that you will use at trial, make sure you send the opposing party a letter that add this name to your answer. In the final preparation stage for trial, there will be a time for each party to provide a full list of witnesses and exhibits that are going to be used at the trial. Your list of witnesses or exhibits at this time should match whatever information you previously provided in responses to interrogatories. If they don't match, your opponent could raise an objection and delay the trial or prevent your witness from testifying.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set up structured activities. Be patient. Be calm and courteous. Be positive.

Answer: While getting to know someone new, it's helpful to start off with structured activities that will take the pressure off of one-on-one conversation. Good ideas for structured activities include going to a movie, a play, or a sporting event. That way you'll both have something to focus on and to talk about, and you won't have to try to carry the entire conversation yourself. Once you feel more comfortable, you can move on to some equally structured but more interactive activities like playing basketball, miniature golf, snowboarding, ice skating, or going to a museum. It takes time to make friends. Don't try to rush it or force it, just be patient and persistent. If you get the sense that a person just doesn't want a new friend, or if they're repeatedly giving you excuses why they can't hang out, let it go. If you keep pressing, they may become hostile. If getting to know someone doesn't pan out, don't give up. You're not going to click with everyone you meet, and some people just don't make good friends. If they don't want to start a friendship, don't take it personally; they may have any number of reasons for retreating that have nothing to do with you. If you seem to get shot down by every person you approach, though, reconsider how you're presenting yourself. You may be coming on too strong or inadvertently saying offensive or off-putting things. Talk to a trusted family member about what you might do differently. Whether they agree or decline to hang out, don't over-react one way or the other. If they agree to hang out, smile, say something positive, and move on. Seeming to be too eager or overly excited can make them distrustful or dubious of you. If they decline your invitation, don't freak out. Just calmly say something like, "That's okay. It's been fun talking to you" and leave it. Don't get mad or act crushed. Just take it in stride. Don't start beating yourself up or telling yourself you'll never make friends. It's okay if you feel somewhat hurt if someone doesn't respond positively to your overtures. Recognize that it can hurt to feel rejected, but don't fixate on that feeling. Acknowledge it and move on. Remind yourself that you won't be friends with everyone, and, more importantly, you likely don't want to be friends with everyone. This person may have turned out to be a really crappy friend, and you may have actually just dodged a bullet.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn relaxation techniques Separate other people's feelings from your own. Start saying "no. Validate yourself. Withhold praise. Offer constructive criticism Deal with anger Set healthy boundaries Watch for manipulation

Answer:
. Getting upset easily and not being able to soothe yourself are also traits that narcissistic people may look for in in other people. These traits indicate that you are easier to control because you rely more on other people to regulate your emotions. Therefore, it is important to work on your ability to calm yourself when you are feeling upset. One way that you can do this is by learning relaxation techniques. Some good strategies to use include deep breathing, yoga, and meditation. Try using a relaxation technique to calm yourself whenever you start to feel like you are losing control of your emotions. People who are codependent tend to seek approval from the people around them. This need for approval can cause them to internalize other people's feelings. As a result, they may feel compelled to do things to make other people feel better. This is something that appeals to people who are narcissistic, so it is important to avoid this behavior. The next time you are with someone who is visibly upset, try reminding yourself that the person's feelings are his or her own. You might tell yourself something like, "I am not responsible for his/her feelings." " The types of people that narcissists tend to gravitate towards seldom say "no." That means that someone who is narcissistic may find it easier to take advantage of the person. To avoid being taken advantage of in this way, try to become more comfortable with saying "no" when people ask you to do things that you would rather not do. Try reminding yourself that your time, energy, and desires matter. If you do not want to do something or if you don't have time, then you have the right to say no. Avoid offering excuses or apologizing when you say "no." Just keep it simple. Try saying something like, "No, I can't do that." People who have narcissistic tendencies may be attracted to people who seek validation or approval from other people. If you often feel insecure and need other people to tell you that you have done something well, then this may indicate that you are dependent on the praise and feedback of others. This can make it easy for someone who is narcissistic to control you. Try to work on validating yourself rather than seeking the approval of others. For example, if you earn a promotion, then congratulate yourself for it rather than calling up someone else right away. Look at yourself in the mirror and say, "You did it! I am so proud of you!" You might also try keeping a record of your accomplishments as a self-validation exercise. Every time you succeed at something, make a note of it in your journal. You might even write yourself a brief congratulations in the journal to mark the accomplishment. Narcissists need and expect praise from other people. They may talk about their accomplishments and worth with the expectation that you will heap praise on them. However, offering constant praise will cause a narcissist to want to spend more time around you. To avoid attracting narcissists to you, withhold praise from people who constantly seek it. If someone is going on and on about an accomplishment, then you might acknowledge the person and then try changing the subject. For example, you could say something like, "That's awesome! Good for you! I accomplished some pretty awesome stuff this week too! Hey, did you catch the local news last night?" If the person continues to talk about themselves and their accomplishments, then try excusing yourself. Say something like, "It has been nice talking with you, but I have to run. Have a great day!" . A narcissist may dislike being criticized because this could interfere with their sense of superiority. One way that you might let a narcissist know that you will not overlook his or her faults or mistakes is to offer constructive criticism when it is warranted. Doing this from time to time may cause the narcissist to avoid you. For example, if you are playing golf with the person and you notice that he or she is using the wrong type of club for a shot, then you might say something like, "That club is great for long shots, but you might find this shot a little easier if you use this club instead." Don't criticize the person for the sake of criticizing. For example, don't say mean or rude things like, "That dress makes you look fat," or "Your presentation was a train wreck." Make sure that you always have something helpful to say if you decide to offer constructive criticism to the person. . Narcissists may make you feel angry sometimes, but it is important to avoid unhealthy ways of dealing with your anger. Instead, find a healthy outlet to express any anger that was caused by an interaction with a narcissist. Some things you might try include: Exercising, such as kickboxing, running, or cycling. Journaling about your angry feelings. Engaging in a creative activity such as painting, knitting, or cooking. . Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries may make it easier for you to deal with a narcissist who might expect you to go above and beyond for them. Think about your relationship with this person and determine what you feel comfortable doing. For example, if the person is a coworker who often divulges personal information that makes you uncomfortable, then you have the right to tell this person to stop sharing these things with you. Try saying something like, "I am not comfortable with this conversation. Can we talk about something else?" Remind yourself that you have a right to tell other people what is and is not acceptable to you. Don't let guilt or fear stop you from making your boundaries known. . Narcissistic people may use manipulation tactics to get what they want. Try to watch for manipulation when you interact with narcissists. Some common manipulation tactics include: Refusing to speak first to see what you will say and to use it to read you. Using a home court advantage such as requiring you to meet them at their home or office. Using facts and statistics to overwhelm you and make you feel like you are wrong. Speaking in a loud voice or yelling to overpower you. Forcing you to make a decision on the spot. Making fun of you to make you feel less powerful or capable. Judging or criticizing you. Giving you the silent treatment. Pretending not to know what you are talking about. Playing the victim, such as by faking or exaggerating health issues or even blaming you for their unhappiness.
