Problem: Article: However, be aware that smiling or laughing could be seen as a psychological sign of defense in these circumstances. Sometimes just letting the person get out their words shuts them up. This idea ties into the "fake it until you make it" technique of dealing with life's problems. You can pretend the mean words don't bother you. Sometimes acting like nothing is wrong can make the other person feel non-effective in their nasty words. With this method, the attacker will never know if they hurt you. Do not show anger or fear of any kind, which will only give your insulter satisfaction. Silence can actually make the person shut down and help you prevent mental drain. If the comment is on social media, you can just delete the comment. This is the easiest way to avoid the situation. Ignore what the person said. This will make your attacker feel like their comment did not affect you. Avoidance can work in this circumstance. For example, if someone calls you dumb and you just brush it off without saying anything, they won't feel like they got to you. Just smile and pretend you are ok. Sometimes a smile is enough to change your mood. They say it can even bring about positive emotions. When you brew on bad thoughts, it makes it worse. That's why it's a smart idea to tell yourself a compliment. Think of the things you are good at. For example, if someone tells you you're fat, think about the great job you did at work the other day, instead.
Summary: Listen to what the insulter says with a pleasant look on your face. Walk away. Smile at your attacker. Think a positive thought instead.

Problem: Article: Spot scam messages or unserious inquiries and delete them to avoid wasting your time. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be out of the country and offering to send you a wire transfer for the car. In general, if something seems too good to be true, it likely is. Use common sense and good judgment when interacting with strangers on Craigslist. Practice extreme caution when arranging to meet a stranger who is interested in seeing or test-driving your vehicle. Safely arrange a test-drive in a very public location with many people around and bring a friend, if possible. Take a picture of the test-driver's license before handing over the keys so you'll be able to track the person down if something goes awry. Immediately email yourself a copy for added protection. Consider interviewing the person on the phone or looking them up online before meeting them in person. Tell interested buyers upfront what form of payment you will accept for your car. Consider only accepting cash or cashier's checks, as personal checks and money orders are easier to fake. No matter what form of payment you request, make sure to verify from a bank that it is valid or wait until you have received the money in your account before signing over the title. Explain the positive aspects of your car to the potential buyer. Take the opportunity to describe any important qualities that may not be listed in your online ad or reiterate some of the highlights. Consider emphasizing your car's fuel economy or any recent upgrades or repairs to make it seem like a more attractive buy. Decide the lowest amount of money you will accept for the car, then be prepared to negotiate a bit over the price. If the buyer is interested and seems legitimate, consider listening to any offers they may make which are below your asking price. You may want to even set your asking price a bit higher than what you are prepared to accept to leave yourself more negotiating room. People like to feel like they are getting a deal!
Summary: Identify and ignore scam messages you receive. Arrange a test-drive in a public location for safety. Decide what form of payment you will accept. Make a sales pitch by describing your car's attributes. Negotiate over the price.

Problem: Article: Citrus fruits have a fresh, tart taste that can balance out the sweetness in a recipe. If your dish is too sweet, squeeze in a little fresh juice to counter the excess sugar. It's best to start with just a small amount, such as a teaspoon, so you don't run the risk of making the food too tart instead of too sweet. Lemon or lime juice works best when you want to balance a savory recipe that's overly sweet. It's a good idea to squeeze your citrus fruit into a cup or bowl instead of directly into the pot or pan. That way, you won't accidentally let any seeds or pulp fall into your food. If citrus juice is too liquidy to add to your dish, lemon or lime zest can also add some tartness. Like citrus fruits, vinegar is an acidic ingredient that can add tartness to a dish to help balance the sweetness. However, unlike fruits which can go bad quickly, you can keep a bottle of vinegar in your pantry for years, so you'll always have it on hand if you add too much sugar to a dish. Start with just a splash or teaspoon and taste, so you can ensure that the recipe is balanced. You can always add more if necessary. Virtually any vinegar can help correct food that's too sweet, but white, red wine, white wine, and apple cider usually work the best. Adding a splash or teaspoon of wine to your recipe to balance the sweetness is similar to stirring in some vinegar because both are acidic and alcohol-based. However, wine has a higher alcohol content, so if you don't want alcohol in your dish, bring the food to a boil to evaporate the alcohol. You can use cooking wine to help counter excess sweetness, but any wine that you would drink will work just as well.
Summary:
Stir in citrus juice. Add vinegar. Mix in wine.
