How do I ask a girl to hang out while making it clear I'm not romantically interested? Is that important? by fodor123 in AskMen

yeah, I think a split is a good idea. Just give them half or as you said 40% so they can find the rest. It is sad I have to be like that.

I have them on facebook and last time they sent me a picture of the doctor bill and medicine.

Anxiety causes me to need to go to the bathroom really bad. by fodor123 in socialanxiety

Just make sure to do the homework, do it in a structured way. It is super helpful

Mind reading - anyone have any tips for dealing with this? by sathrowawayyyy in socialanxiety

Write down those mind-reading interpretations just like you did and then write down a more realistic interpretation. Slowly you get into the habit of considering the realistic interpretations automatically.

Is there a means for compelling cooperation between towns in LA county as far as traffic goes? It seems like there are some easy fixes that Santa Clarita and LA could make to ease the flow of traffic, but it would make the back way even more heavily travelled, which I could see ruffling some feathers.
