In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pursue knowledge of different topics or crafts. You never know if you have an unfounded talent. Check your local area or school for different clubs or societies where you can interact with others who can encourage you and teach you. Perhaps you'll find you're really good at cooking or woodwork. If you like, start with things that you have always wanted to know better but never really had an opportunity to follow. Perhaps you've always wanted to develop your photography skills or read classic English Literature. Devote part of your day to engaging in these activities. Remember that this is meant to be enjoyable. You will have something to look forward to that is stress-free. Not every new interest will necessarily require you to leave your house and spend money. Look for online documentaries or videos to watch. Actively look for the positive aspects of every situation and person. Remember that 'positive' does not necessarily mean 'good.' A learning outcome from a negative situation is a 'positive' aspect but that does not make your situation a 'good one': you are allowed to consider things as being negative and bad. However, people gravitate towards those who display a positive attitude. Your sunny disposition will encourage others to be cheerful. Ask yourself, 'What can I learn from this situation? What can I do differently next time to prevent such an outcome? What have I gained from this?' Once you form a negative opinion of someone, you start to notice things about her that will confirm your opinion and ignore any evidence to the contrary. If you find yourself thinking mean things about another person, deliberately think of examples that dispel your negative opinion. Or think of reasons that may have made her behave in a way you disliked. Perhaps she was tired or hungry? Maybe she misunderstood the situation? Make a special effort to cheer other women on. It's very easy to feel competitive around another woman as you seek to be the 'perfect woman'. Rise above such pettiness and be supportive of other women as opposed to trying to sabotage them. A simple example, is if a co-worker you dislike asks you if you know the deadline for a certain project, don't sabotage her by giving her the incorrect date. Or if another woman asks you for the recipe of a dish you brought to the potluck, don't leave out ingredients from the recipe or give different proportions to the ones you used. Be supportive of other women. Stop and think whenever you're interacting with others about what you're going to say and do. Make a quick assessment of the different consequences of potential actions. You will have to practice by putting yourself in situations where social skills are required. Read up on body language so that you are better able to assess others. Read up on emotions to better understand how they are conveyed. Identify your growth points by analysing your own behavior. Do you have trouble maintaining eye contact? Is your speech too fast or your voice too loud when you're nervous? Do you stand too closely to others when you're talking to them? Do you interrupt when others are talking? Do you have difficulty saying no? Ask friends/family you can trust to be honest without hurting your feelings about any of your social skills that you need to work on. Friends can often notice things about your behavior that you can't. Make sure the person you ask is socially skilled. Pick one or two social skills at a time to focus on. When you've made significant progress in them, then advance to other skills. Consider asking a friend to role play with you or practice in front of a mirror. Learn to recognize what emotions feel like in your body. Actively notice how you're feeling throughout the day. If you're feeling irritable, angry or any other negative emotion, try to identify the source of the emotion. Look to your thoughts. What are you thinking about that is making you feel this way? Know that just because you think something, that does not mean that thought it true. Avoid taking any negative feelings out on others. If you feel that you are about to snap, take deep, calming breaths. Inhale slowly through your nose, exhale slowly through your mouth. If you can, distance yourself from the situation: leave the room and find a quiet place. If you can't leave, try to drink a glass of cool water or to sit down. This will help you calm down. Emotions are not inherently negative, wrong or bad. Regularly process your emotions through daily journaling or by talking to someone you trust about the events in your life. Keeping emotions bottled up increases stress levels and doesn't help you resolve problems.
Summary: Expand your interests. Display a positive outlook. Develop social skills. Control your emotions.

Problem: Article: The Tunisian double crochet starts after you have completed a preparation row using the Tunisian simple stitch. You can also work the Tunisian double crochet into larger piece of Tunisian simple stitches. The preparation row is a minimum start, but not a maximum start. Make sure that you have completed a reverse pass before you start the Tunisian double crochet. There should only be one loop on your hook when you start. Work two standard chain stitches from the loop on your hook. These chain stitches will help accommodate the eventual height of your Tunisian double crochet row. Yarn over the hook once, then insert it into the second vertical bar. Yarn over again, then draw this yarn-over back through to the front of your work, creating a loop. Yarn over once more, then draw your last yarn-over through two loops on your hook. Note that the first vertical bar should be skipped over, as done with the simple stitch. Leave the final loop of the stitch on your hook. There should already be one loop on your hook from before that, however, giving you a total of two loops on the hook at the end of this first double crochet. The difference between the Tunisian simple stitch and the Tunisian double crochet lies entirely in this forward pass part of the process. Repeat the previous step, working into each vertical stitch of the previous until you reach the end of that previous row. For each stitch, yarn over the hook once, insert it into the next vertical bar, and yarn over again. Draw the yarn-over back through to the front, yarn over again, and draw this last yarn-over through two loops on your hook. For the last vertical bar, insert the hook into the horizontal stitch lying to the right of the vertical bar as well as the vertical bar itself. When pulling a loop back through to the front of the work, make sure that you pull it through both bars again. This adds stability to the edge of the work. When you reach the end of your forward pass row, you should have 10 loops on your hook, or the number of stitches you started with in your foundation chain. Yarn over the tip of the hook and draw that yarn-over through one loop previously on your hook. Note that the reverse pass for the Tunisian double crochet is the exact same as the reverse pass for the Tunisian simple stitch. Yarn over the hook, then draw that yarn over through two loops on the hook. You should be left with one less loop on your hook at the end of this step. Repeat this step until only one loop remains on the hook. Alternate back and forth between the forward pass and reverse pass until you reach the end of your Tunisian double crochet section or the end of your work as a whole. Always end with the conclusion of a reverse pass. Skip down to the section on "Finishing the Work" if you are ready to tie off the work at the completion of this step.
Summary:
Work a preparation row using the Tunisian simple stitch. Chain two. Forward pass into the second vertical bar. Work across the rest of the row. Reverse pass through one stitch. Reverse pass through the rest of the row as usual. Repeat as needed.
