Q: If you're really familiar with snakes, and you know that what you've caught is a garter snake or another nonvenomous snake, you might be able to get away with touching it. But if you're at all unsure what type of snake you've caught, don't take the chance. Wild snakes don't much like to be handled, anyway. Gently carry the entire trap to your vehicle and put it in the trunk or another enclosed area so you can transport it. Don't shake the trap or poke at the snake. Handle it with care. You might want to keep small children and pets away from the trap while you're handling it, just to be on the safe side. If you let the snake go too close to your house, it will find its way back to its home territory. Release the snake at least a mile from your home if you want to make sure it doesn't come back. However, if you trapped the snake in your house and you don't mind if it lives outdoors in the yard, you can just walk outside to release it there. The snake will have the best chance at surviving without disturbing other people if you release it in a natural area. Go to a state park or another area without a lot of people living close by to release the snake. This way it won't end up in someone else's garden. Freeing a snake is not usually dangerous; in most cases, the snake will be happy to slither away and leave you alone. But just in case, wear long pants and gloves when you're freeing the snake. Watch the snake carefully and be ready to move out of the way if it decides to strike. Depending on which kind of trap you used, there are two different ways to free a snake: If you used a reusable glue trap, unlatch the lid of the box and open it up. Pour vegetable oil over the snake's body, making sure to cover the entire are that's attached to the glue. The trap is designed so that the snake will be able to wiggle free from the glue once the oil gets between the snake's skin and the bottom of the trap. By this time you should be standing a fair distance from the trap so you aren't blocking the snake as it leaves the scene. If you're using a minnow trap, put on a pair of heavy gloves, since you'll have to get a bit closer to the snake (though you still won't have to touch it). Carefully open the two sides of the trap to separate them at the middle. Leave just enough space for the snake to crawl out. Move away so you aren't in the snake's path when it crawls out. All snakes, even venomous snakes, play an important role in their ecosystems and should be released if possible. But if the snake is venomous and you're concerned that someone could get harmed by it, you killing it might be the answer. If you used a cardboard glue trap, you can just put the whole thing in a garbage bag and seal it up. If you use a minnow trap, you can place the entire trap underwater for a few hours before opening it.
A: Don't attempt to touch the snake. Drive at least a mile from your house. Go to a natural area without many residences nearby. Free the snake. Kill the snake only as a last resort.

Article: Strike up a conversation with him and pay attention to the way he interacts with you. If he is an outgoing person and likes you, he'll playfully touch you while you talk. The occasional shoulder brush or hand-grab to show you something are tell-tale signs. If he is shy, he won't be as obvious. If this is the case, he may blush or stare at you while you talk. A true smile extends beyond the normal width of a mouth. If his smile is across his whole face, he's being affected by you in a good way. If his teeth aren't showing, he's most likely forcing the smile. This means that he's humoring you and isn't interested. All of his muscles will be pulled to show off his body to his best advantage when he's talking to you if he's trying to impress you. He's often stand with his hands on his hips to suggest confidence. When a man is interested, he'll stand directly in front of you to show full attention and make it possible to lean in to get closer with ease. If he's not interested, his shoulders will face away from you.

Q: If you don't feel confident speaking your mind at work, it might not be the best idea to dive right in by volunteering for a major presentation or asking the boss for a big raise. Instead, start with something smaller. For example, if you were promised some new supplies, like a new monitor for your desk, but your supervisor has forgotten about it or hasn't gotten around to it, make a polite request for those items you've already been promised. Small victories will build up your confidence and help you feel empowered to speak up on larger issues. When you achieve something important at work, don't keep it to yourself. You don't want to brag too much, but recognizing your own achievements (and having others recognize them) is important to building your self-confidence. Getting in the habit of self-reward and self-acknowledgement will help you feel your own worth and value. Even if you don't feel it inside, pretending like you are confident can make you feel more confident, especially if you make a habit of it. For example, try to smile at your coworkers, and look them in the eye. Walk with some spring in your step, like you're heading somewhere important. Dressing with authority can also make you feel more authoritative. Pick out clothes that are true to your own style and personality, but also convey the idea that you are a professional. This strategy can both make you feel more confident, and can also lead others to treat you with more respect, which can likewise help boost your confidence. Think about day-to-day situations in which you often feel uncertain of yourself or hesitant to speak your mind, and look for an opportunity to practice acting confident and speaking up every day. This may feel awkward at first, but this is how new skills are learned. Consistent practice is the path to mastery. Repetition and success will eventually make this start to feel natural. It's important to spend some time thinking about tasks or discussions to which you could contribute more, areas where you are strong, and areas where you have room for improvement. Being assertive doesn't mean behaving as if you and your ideas are perfect. True confidence comes from emphasizing your strengths, but also understanding your weaknesses and doing what you can to challenge yourself to improve in those areas. If someone at work criticizes you by saying something that isn't true or isn't fair, try not to dwell on it. Time spent obsessing over criticism that isn't constructive can damage your confidence. It's also a waste of energy.
A:
Start small. Celebrate your successes. Pretend you are confident. Practice daily. Engage in self-reflection. Dismiss unfounded criticism.
