Problem: Article: Most of us make immediate snap judgements when we see or hear a person. This doesn't mean we need to act on them, or that we're bad people for thinking of them. However, it's good to recognize that these judgements can prevent us from relating with people. The first step is to notice when you make these judgements. Do you avoid certain topics with certain friends because you assume they won't be interested? Do you get annoyed or anxious when you see a stranger on the street or public transportation, before he has said or done anything to deserve it? Do you dislike people with certain superficial traits, such as a tattoo or a choice of activity? A common complaint by people who have trouble relating to others is that other people are shallow, immature, or even stupid. Dismissing someone with these insults makes it unlikely that you'll ever discover another side to her. People having fun can often be annoying to people who don't share their idea of enjoyment. If someone parties more than you would like, or acts hyper and obnoxious in a group of friends, consider that you might still get along with her in a calmer environment. Fashion choices, makeup, or even choice of activity are often more superficial than people think. Don't let your stereotypes get in the way of a conversation. Keep an open mind about other people's lifestyles. Activities you look down on may be fulfilling for other people, or provide benefits that your lifestyle doesn't. Even if someone admits to "guilty pleasures" that don't appear to be beneficial, consider that these may reduce stress or boost energy levels before she returns to more productive or challenging activities. It's easy to stereotype someone based on his accent, his use of "text speak," or even a certain phrase that annoys you. Before you respond, imagine yourself or a respected friend making the same statement with a different tone or word choice. Does it sound more reasonable? If you want to meet new people, find a way to start conversations. It's easier to get an accurate idea of someone's personality once you're chatting. Here are a couple simple ways to accomplish this: Ask a simple question to get started. If you smoke, ask whether the other person has a light. Ask a stranger in a big city whether she come from the city or moved here from elsewhere. If something funny or alarming happens nearby, make a comment on it, or just make eye contact and raise your eyebrows. Bring along a conversation starter, such as a dog or a noticeable, unusual piece of clothing. At least one study suggests that reading "literary fiction" or realistic fiction can increase your ability to relate to other people. This may be due to these works explaining characters' motivations or showing their experiences in a more realistic setting, which can help readers understand the motivations of people in everyday life. This probably has no effect unless you are reading a story that you feel emotionally involved in. If reading a story feels like a chore, stop and try to find literary fiction you may enjoy more. Train yourself to read body language and facial expressions by turning the volume and subtitles off and trying to figure out what is going on. If you have difficulty with this, try watching the films with a friend who is good at reading body language, and have her explain her interpretations to you. Move on to watching by yourself once you have more practice. Watch foreign language films without subtitles to practice interpreting tones of voice as well.
Summary: Be aware of the judgements you make. Don't criticize "shallow" behavior. Try to "translate" other accents or writing styles into your own voice. Practice a method of starting a conversation. Read more literary fiction. Watch films and television with the sound turned off.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Apart from physical temperature, one of the first things you can do is to observe your dog for other physical signs of fever. It's important to be alert for changes in normal behavior from having difficulty defecating, to coughing or sneezing, since this may provide vital information as to the seat of infection. Possible symptoms include: Poor appetite Lethargy, sluggishness or inactivity Weakness Vomiting Diarrhea Sleeping all day Withdrawing away from other dogs If the dog is behaving naturally, is hot but seems otherwise well, let him rest in a cool place for an hour and then re-check his temperature again to see if the signs you did detect have normalized. Since a fever is a normal immune response, it may just be something you have to wait out if it's not serious. Remember, if the temperature of the dog's extremities is raised and he is behaving abnormally, this is more likely to be significant than for a warm dog that appears otherwise well. It's infection you need to be worried about, not fever.

SUMMARY: Look for the other signs of fever. If he seems well, assess him again in an hour.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Since knuckle cracking is often a nervous habit, it is often done "automatically." Most of the time people are not even aware they are cracking their knuckles until somebody tells them. However, if you wish to stop your knuckle cracking habit, it is important to become more aware of when you do it. It may be helpful to rope in a friend or family member to provide a gentle reminder whenever you crack. Knuckle cracking is generally a lot more obvious to outside observers than it is to the crackers themselves. Knuckle cracking may be classified as a nervous habit. Since a nervous habit is in response to stress or anxiety, identifying the source of the stress is the first step in dealing with the habit. Stress can be specific, like worrying about an upcoming test, or it can be general, like relationships with parents and peers, social acceptance, or any of many other factors. Try keeping a small notebook on you at all times, and make a note each time you crack your knuckles. This will help you to notice any patterns in your knuckle cracking behaviors and help you to identify your triggers. If you are a knuckle cracker or care for someone who cracks their knuckles, be aware that nagging or complaining about the habit is more likely to make it worse than make it go away. Nagging only leads to more stress, which increases the nervous reaction to that stress. Therefore gentle reminders will be much more helpful and effective than constant nagging. Although nagging or increasing stress is unlikely to help, there are many ways that friends and family can help the knuckle popper. A simple touch on the arm when somebody notices unconscious habits can go a long way to understanding and dealing with the problem. Understand that most knuckle cracking is harmless and will probably go away with time. If the cracking does not coincide with other changes in behavior, patience is probably the best antidote. Understand that prolonged excessive or any kind of habit that has a negative effect on the normal course of life is always a problem, or "issue," and should be faced. Truly excessive knuckle cracking, especially accompanied by the cracking of other joints in the body, can be an early sign of more serious anxiety disorders. If you believe your knuckle cracking may be a symptom of a more serious disorder, you should consider seeing a therapist.
Summary: Become aware of your habit. Discover the source of the anxiety. Avoid nagging. Maintain a support system. Give it time. Consider getting professional help.
