| To purchase: I'm sort of like you. When I'm in a group I'm generally silent unless a someone starts talking about something that I know something about, e.g. food, travel, fieldwork. "Hanging out" seems to be completely unstructured, so I don't know what to do. I don't have the experience To Rhianno... |

| Hi, I'd like to ask some advice on how to "hang out" with friends. I've actually started to make some friend acquaintances at work (I'm a graduate student) and there's this one girl who has emailed me to hang out with her. She just broke up with her boyfriend, so I think she's partly looking to just... |

| It sounds like she is purposely trying to provoke you, even if it is done playfully. One way of getting her to stop is to refuse to be provoked; don't react to her and refuse to engage in the games that she is playing. For example, if you encounter her in the hall, move to the side or back out of th... |

| That's awful what his dog did to your kitten. I understand the anger that you feel, but it's probably better to remove the facebook comments. Apologize and explain that in the heat of the moment and seeing how the dog mutilated your kitten you "lost your head," (aka stopped thinking rationally); tha... |

| I feel attachment to people I know and feel safe around. Based on experience these people are reliable and the behaviour is somewhat predictable. As for empathy, I think there are some people who are sensitive to small changes in the environment and people around them. They are then able to appropri... |

I understand about using forma... |

| The doctor is probably not terribly worried about Marfan's if he/she is advising you to wait several years before checking your heart. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not a doctor (just have some personal experience with a possible Marfan's diagnosis, though it turns out that I don't have Marfan's) and I don't... |

| It does seem excessive. Especially considering how bad school lunches can be. When I was a kid the lunches were so bad at my school that I would throw them away and I survived on two cartons of milk for every day for lunch. I did lose weight, so maybe that's what the schools are aiming for. If the k... |

Bad teachers have a way of destroying the motivation and self-esteem of a person, but remember that you've written papers before and can do it again. The best way to ... |

| The one-half the monthly rent might actually mean that you have to pay half the monthly rent for the rest of your lease. For example, you have a lease for 12 months and decide to break the lease after 6 months. Then you would have to give 30 days notice and pay a penalty of 50% of the monthly rent f... |

Sometimes it's just easier for me to be very observant and/or try and find the answer on my own. Although, it may take me more time to ... |
