Toxicity is often a sign of insecurity. By giving the co-worker credit or highlighting something that they've done, you may give them some semblance of positivity in their life, which could help with the toxicity. You may also find a friend you didn't think you could have. For example, tell your boss all that your co-worker has done if you've worked together on a project. Or nominate them for employee of the month. You never know what this act of kindness could do for someone. Chances are, you're not the reason for the behavior. However, you may be the person on which they are taking out their frustrations. But that doesn't mean you should allow it. Hold the person accountable for their behavior and don't justify it. Attempt to talk to them about it. You could ask them why they behave the way they do towards you. Your confrontation may be enough to make them stop. Keep in mind that being direct and respectful is a much better option than letting the behavior slide. Letting it slide may lead to more problems over time. Dealing with a toxic co-worker can affect more areas of your life than just work. It can make you act differently at home and in other aspects of your life. Find people who could potentially lift you up, especially if it is at work. Along with surrounding yourself with people who are positive, give yourself some positive self-talk, as well. Remind yourself that you are a good person who has many things to contribute, despite how this person may make you feel. There are always two sides to every situation. Try to help the person see the positive rather than the negative. Tell the person the reasons why the situation isn't as bad as they think it is. Doing so could put a spin on their perspective, making life easier for both of you. For instance, if the person says, "I hate these hours. I can't ever do what I want." You could say, "I actually like the hours. It allows me to have more flexibility with my schedule outside of work." Telling them a positive to their negatives may also make them stop flooding you with the toxic comments.

One-sentence summary -- Highlight their work. Avoid taking the behavior personally. Search for the positives. Counteract the negative.

Q: Rejection is part of the writing process. The vast majority of poets, even well-established poets, were rejected many times throughout their career. If you receive a rejection, try not to ruminate over it. Send out a lot of poems. Publication is, in many ways, a numbers game. While you may only get a small percentage of what you send out published, you'll gain a lot of publications if you're submitting frequently. On the day you receive a rejection, try doing something to distract yourself. Read a book, go for a bike ride, take a walk, or take a warm bath. Engage in some self care to help you mourn the loss. An agent can be great for a literary career. However, very few agents are willing to take on poets. Only the absolute best-known poets receive representation from an agent. Even some well-known poets operate independently. While you may dream of having an agent of your own, accept that an agent is not a reasonable option, especially early on in your career. Sometimes, it comes down to who you know. Even in the literary worlds, knowing an editor can help you gain an edge over the competition. Read the editorial board of various journals. If you recognize a colleague from graduate school, undergrad, or from anywhere else, get in touch. Knowing someone on the inside can help your work get read. For larger journals especially, a lot of work is read hastily or not at all. Tenacity is important if you want to be a poet. There will be many setbacks along the route to publication. Do not be discouraged. Keep submitting your poetry, despite rejection, and you will eventually find success. Tenacity takes practice. It may take quite a few rejections before you're able to bounce back with ease. See rejections as a chance to practice become strong and tenacious rather than seeing them as setbacks.
A: Take rejection in stride. Accept getting an agent is not always practical. Try some networking. Be tenacious.

Article: In some patients, overbites can lead to the erosion of individual teeth through unwanted grinding and strain. If this happens, the dentist may need to install caps, crowns, or other forms of dental hardware. This can happen before or after the primary realignment process. If you grind your teeth while sleeping, ask your dentist about nighttime mouth guards. In many cases, overbites are caused by overcrowding, a condition where your teeth are too close together. To move forward with braces or other alignment treatments, your orthodontist may need to have some of these teeth extracted, opening up room for everything to move around. In most cases, extraction will be handled by a dentist, not your orthodontist. In extreme cases, full oral surgery may be required to fix an overbite. During this process, the cheeks are pulled back and a surgeon makes incisions inside the jaw. This allows them to physically move the jaw, changing your chin shape and aligning your teeth. This is typically only done after less invasive methods, like braces, have failed to work. Expect the surgery to cost between $20,000 and $40,000 and leave you hospitalized for about 2 days. Because the surgery is typically performed inside the mouth, most patients leave with no visible scars.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get your teeth repaired. Remove overcrowded teeth. Undergo jaw surgery.

Article: If your child eats solid food, back snacks like granola bars, applesauce, crackers, or Cheerios. Pack milk, formula, or baby food--if this is what you feed your child. Make sure general liquids are under 3.4 ounces so they pass security inspections. However, you should be able to bring greater, reasonable quantities of breast milk or formula through without issue. Just have them out of your bag, ready for inspection, and tell the screening agent what they're for. They may need to test the liquids, as a security measure. You can also buy milk, water, and juice after you get through security. You may want to pack a cover so you have privacy while nursing. You can also use a blanket or towel, though bring your own. A bib will help with messes while eating. Pack washable or plastic bibs when traveling. Bring at least one cloth to use for burping if your baby is still prone to spitting up. Since you probably won't be able to clean your bottles thoroughly during travel, you probably want to bring enough so that you can use each one just once. You can probably get by with fewer plates/utensils, if any.
