Schedule regular social activities with friends throughout the week. This will give you structure, keep you connected to others, and help improve your mood. If you stay busy enough interacting with others during the weekday hours, chances are you'll be less likely to notice feeling alone at night. Learn to get better with computers and other ways of connecting with people besides in-person. If you have friends who live far away, consider keeping in touch with them through email, Facebook, Twitter, or Skype. Schedule regular phone calls or text messages with friends for when you come home at night. If you don't know how to use a computer or internet-based services, libraries and community centers usually have classes to teach you the basic skills. This is also a good way to meet people in your community! Consider getting more involved in your community by volunteering, taking a class, or joining a club. This could help keep you from feeling too lonely, give you more structure, shift your mood, give you increased self-confidence, and help you meet more diverse people in your community. By the time you get home at night, you'll feel tired and less alone because you've spent the day meaningfully connecting with others. Be patient. This may feel uncomfortable at first and you might have to try several different clubs or organizations before you find one where you feel more at home. You might find connection and help coping at night if you have a pet with you at home. Pets bring companionship and joy. They're not only comforting and fun to interact with, but you can sleep with them if you're feeling lonely or unsafe at night. If you're not allowed to have a pet where you live, if you're allergic to cats or dogs, or you simply can't afford a pet, you can even do something as simple as having a fishbowl or a bird feeder nearby your house.

Q: You'll need a hanging fruit basket. This should be the type that has only one basket, and four hanging chains that meet up at the center hook. It should also be made of sturdy metal, and not plastic or very thin metal. You'll also need mounting hardware for the basket, wire cutters, and four curtain panels. Using metal cutters, cut a 1/4"-1/2" gap at the center of the rim between each support chain. Slide the curtains on, one half of a panel onto one side of the cut gap, the other half on the other side. Following the manufacturer's instructions for the mounting hook you got, attach it to the ceiling above the bed. It should be mounted in a ceiling stud, which may require a stud finder to locate. Hang the basket to the hook you mounted. You can get LED icicle lights (preferably on a battery pack) and put them in the basket to create a chandelier effect. This is not required however. Just enjoy your new bed canopy.
A: Gather your materials. Cut the rim. Attach the curtains. Mount the hook. Hang the canopy. Add finishing touches.

Article: Presenting yourself depends on how you feel about yourself. Without genuine confidence you lack the key elements of a positive self-image. Believing in yourself and living with confidence improves your success in dating, leads to upward mobility at work, and leads to greater achievement of personal goals. Many of the steps listed above in this article can help build confidence. Exercising, dressing well, and being a gracious and friendly conversationalist all lead to improved levels of confidence. Nobody is perfect, and even if you present yourself as perfect you'll still have flaws in your personality. Remember, it's ok to be yourself even if you have faults. Try to work to improve on the aspects of yourself you don't like. If you feel you aren't well spoken or don't have interesting stories, try reading more and sharing what you learn. If you can't lose weight no matter how you change your diet and exercise, embrace it as a part of who you are, and learn to take pride in yourself. When focused on your own flaws, it's easy to forget other people aren't perfect either. If you actively work to better yourself, people will notice and admire you for it. You aren't always out in the world trying to impress people and make a good impression. Maybe you're at home by yourself, or making a routine trip to the grocery store. Keep these tips in mind during the smallest interactions and make presenting your best self a part of your routine. Compliment a cashier, exercise when you're tempted to watch television, and practice other healthy habits that will pay dividends down the road for presenting yourself to others. Even when you're working to present yourself to others, don't get bogged down worrying about how they'll judge you. Be yourself, and be content with the effort you put as long as you are comfortable with who you are. These changes won't come overnight, so be patient. Remember, while it's important to present yourself to others, it's far more important to present a positive image to yourself. When you're happy with who you are, it shows in the way you present yourself to others, so focus on yourself as the person you want to impress the most.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Build your confidence. Understand your strengths and your flaws. Maintain your efforts to present yourself to others even when you're by yourself. Don't worry about what other people think.
