In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If a relationship ended, there's a good chance something just wasn't working. Go back through the course of your relationship and think about the signs of trouble. Did you two fight frequently? If so, you may just have not been compatible. While fighting is a normal part of any relationship, when you're fighting more than you have fun, that's a sign something is wrong. Did any of your feelings change during the relationship? Feelings may have faded. Even if you wanted to stay in the relationship, you may have been aware feelings were waning. This is a sign the relationship was coming to an end. Go over your biggest arguments. What were you disagreeing about? Sometimes, there are differences that just cannot be reconciled. Unfortunately, sometimes a relationship cannot be saved. Trust issues often tank a relationship. Was there infidelity at any point or even flirtation outside of the relationship? Maybe you two were just different people. Maybe you were more social than your boyfriend. He wanted to stay home a lot, while you wanted to go out with your friends on weekends. Some people get anxiety over committing to a relationship. A person with a phobia of commitment may be unable to differentiate between feelings of excitement at the beginning of a relationship and discomfort or anxiety. People who fear commitment long for the connection of a romantic relationship. However, when they begin to feel close and comfortable with someone, they get nervous. They may end things just as they begin to get serious. Look at your boyfriend's past. Has he had a lot of other girlfriends? How long did these relationships last? If your boyfriend has a habit of getting involved fast and then breaking things off, this is a sign he has commitment issues. Not everyone is mature enough for a romantic relationship. This is especially true if you and your boyfriend are very young. Think about whether your boyfriend actually seemed ready for a romance. When you're young, dating is about learning about yourself and exploring new experiences. If you and your boyfriend are still in middle school or high school, it's possible he wasn't ready for a long term commitment. Maybe your ex-boyfriend values you as a person, but he simply wants to explore other things.
Summary: Consider what was not working. Think about any disagreements you had. Understand he may have commitment issues. Think about whether he's mature enough to date.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A cucumber, egg, olive oil and vinegar mask is a good option if you want to deep-clean the skin of your face. To begin making it, wash a cucumber, then cut off a quarter of it and peel it using a vegetable peeler. Slice the cucumber quarter into a few pieces to make it easier to blend. Then drop these pieces into a food process or blender. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then use a spoon to spoon out and remove the yolk from the egg whites. Be careful not to break the yolk as you are removing it. Drop the egg yolk into the food processor and dispose of the egg whites, or save them for use in cooking. Measure out and add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the food processor, as well as two tablespoons of olive oil. Use the puree option on your food processor or blender to mix all the ingredients for the mask. Stop when the ingredients are blended together.
Summary: Peel a quarter of a cucumber. Cut the cucumber quarter into a few pieces. Separate the egg yolk. Add apple cider vinegar and olive oil to the food processor. Puree all the ingredients in a food processor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sometimes we can spend so much time worrying about others and how they are feeling that we lose sight of ourselves. Take responsibility for your own feelings and reactions towards pessimism. By focusing on your own happiness and less on others, you take the power away from negativity. Remind yourself that you are in control. You are in control of how much you let another person's feelings and thoughts affect you. For example, even though pessimism is hard to listen to, understand that the other person's pessimism is a reflection of themselves and you can only control your own feelings. You have the power to dictate what affects how you are feeling. Using logic as a coping resource is associated with higher mental toughness. Stay positive. Research suggests that optimism may increase mental toughness. This means that your own optimistic outlook can help you combat pessimism and the spill-over from negativity. Look for some good in everything and remind yourself that anyone can find flaws in anything when looked at closely enough; what's a lot harder is coming up with solutions and positive actions. Instead of seeking to persuade the pessimist verbally with upbeat commentary, simply get on with your positive life and let your behavior and actions do all the talking. If you find yourself feeling down around the pessimist, make a mental list (or even write it down if you wish) of five good things in your life. Think of the items on this list in your head as a sort of "shield" against negativity if you find yourself reacting to it. Actively cultivate positive friendships with other optimistic people. Spending more time around optimists will help raise your mood and reassure you that your state of mind is the right one for you. The individual's outlook on things isn't her only feature - there are many more complex qualities within a person, so rather than fixating on the negatives, look for the good things. Is she intelligent? Supportive of you? Is she unique enough not to care what anyone else thinks about her? Is she good to work with? Focus on the positive aspects of a person and seek to balance out the negatives. Just as you might make a list of the five positive things in your life, try to make a list of at least three positive things about your pessimist and run these through your mind when dealing with this person gets tough. You can also draw on this list to remind the pessimist of what she is good at, in case it seems she has forgotten. Find compassion for the pessimist in your life by remembering that her pessimism might be rooted in unhappiness or low-self esteem. When you hear negativity, remind yourself that she may be going through something very difficult that is contributing to her pessimism. Understand that you do not have control over other people's thoughts or behaviors. Expect the pessimist to have responsibility for her pessimism. She may see the negatives, therefore let her own her interpretation of events and life in general. Accept that this person has a choice to think the way she does. Tell the pessimist to make the choice that she feels most comfortable with. Avoid giving advice or pushing the person to see or do things your way. Resist the innate desire to attempt to cheer the pessimist up. What you want to avoid is positively reinforcing her negative thoughts by providing a reward for pessimistic thinking (attention, positivity, etc). Don't seek to persuade the pessimist that everything will work out fine. Remember that you cannot control how she will interpret the situation. Don't be too quick to dismiss people due to their pessimism. Learning to get along with people who are not like us is an important part of self-development and socialization. Being pessimistic isn't always bad. Some philosophers and researchers have argued it may actually make people happier and closer to reality because they will be more prepared and less disappointed if they consider that the worst outcome might occur. Thus, when bad things do happen, they may be better at dealing with them.
Summary:
Focus on yourself. Change your thinking. Focus on the person's good qualities. Give up control. Avoid trying to be a hero. Practice acceptance.
