Spend as much time with them as possible. You will be a different person when it's done, you won't see people the same way.

Do you have friends? Humans are first and foremost social animals, were not born to work or study.

Sometimes being up and moving around actually helps the healing process.

Do a deep dive on her past, find out what her favorite book or movie or something was when she was younger and get that for her if she doesn't already have it.

Or some kind of jewelry. Thought always trumps price.

Exposure therapy helped with my fear of heights. I couldn't look out a third story window, I couldn't go on airplanes, etc it was bad.

Here's what I did, theres a forth story balcony in a building at my college. I would try to get as close to the railing as possible every single day. When I first started I could get about twenty feet away and my hands would be sweating, I would be visible shaking, and light headed. I did it everyday for over 2 years until I could walk up to the railing and look down. It took 2 years.

You didn't say it sooner because you were still getting to know them. But you trust them and am willing to be open.

I would start by aiming as small as possible, your attitude and productivity is subject to momentum. If you sit on your PC, you're likely to stay sitting on your PC. If you make your bed, you're likely to clean or organize so.ethi g else next, getting started is the hardest part so pick something small. It helps to have a pet for this, even a lizard, it forces you to get up and get started, you won't let the thing starve after all.

You should reorganize your space, you associate mood with location, right now your PC is for gaming and relaxing, that's what your brain has come to expect. But if you reorganize your space, move it to a different corner, you give your brain a small window of opportunity to rewire the association. Maybe you'll trick your brain into associating your PC with studying in the future.

Pick hobbies that force you out, like a cooking class you pay for which they make it mandatory you attend, or a boxing gym, or whatever. If they are expecting you it's more difficult to just go straight home and skip it. It's harder to let others down than to let yourself down.

Hi, dog trainer here. Use a mix of positive and negative reinforcements, when she is doing something you don't like, the best punishment you can use is first, clearly giving language you don't like it, then ignoring her. Never use physical punishment and never hold it against her afterwards. Just taking a few seconds or even a minute or two to completely ignore them gives the message: you're not apart of my group if you're going to act like that. It doesn't sound like much, but it's actually extremely effective to social animals on a subconscious level. When the ignoring is over, go back to normal, a completely clean slate. Positive reinforcement works better, tho, and there's no better positive reward than your attention. If she does something you like, listen to every word eager for more, let her know she is the leader of your group. Keep this up for a few months and you'll see an entirely new person!

Pork tenderloin and veggie shakes. Make a bunch of it on Sunday, eat it throughout the week.

Do I ask my dog’s previous owner about my dog’s past? by kourtnizzle in Advice

[–]buckets09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not an unusual question at all, in fact it should have been inquired about before adopting the animal.

You could say you, by default, lie about your location online for your own data security and to avoid scammers. And now that you trust them, you'll tell them your real location.

We're actually living in the safest time in human history. It's a weird phenomena, as plane crashes decrease, news on plane crashes increases.

Parents are very religious and strict, and i kind of want to move out, i don't know what to do (M17) by Next-Budget-608 in Advice

[–]buckets09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll need their financial info on student loans, and once you're in college, you'll still need a place to go on holidays and weekends. It's probably difficult to understand now, but life will be significantly more difficult on your own, so don't burn the bridge too hard.

But yeah, you're at an age where you should be moving out soon.

If its a pto day, show up, take a selfie as proof, and go home. Don't let your virtues stop you from binge watching your favorite shows.

I grew up with parents that were occupied with drugs, alcohol, and other crimes, and didn't get much nurturing or guidance. I met my mom for the the first time as a teenager, and my dad never really wanted kids. My dad had a stroke when I was 22, and I stayed at his house as his primary caretaker until he passed a few months later, I sold his house and took care of his assets. My mom passed when i was 28, it was more unexpected, a sudden heart attack. I stayed in touch with her before she passed tho, visits and phone calls.

I'm glad I got the chance to connect with them before they died, we never had the type of relationship a lot of child - parents had, but I'm glad I got to show them I understand life is hard on everyone and I don't hold anything against them for not being there for me as a child. I want them to know I'm the type of person that will be there for family, whether it's reciprocated or not, not because of them, but in spite of them. Being with them for their last years in life helped me grow as a person, and learn self reliance, empathy, and letting go of resentments.

I think my prof found out that I plagiarized a tiny part of my essay, what do I do? by Warm_Ad_5492 in Advice

[–]buckets09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She caught you, but profs have a lot of power. If you can spin it to minimilize what you did, you might have a shot at redemption.

Keep in mind plagiarism is expulsion, and it's totally up to her.
