1Becoming more likeable is not what you think. You don't have to command the room, or become more charming or funny, or witty.
It's easy to resent your friends because they have an easier life, but things always change...
Don't feel bad if you have a difficult time moving from one home to another. Take it from me, this is a tough experience!
Should you drop your insecure friends? Not necessarily.
There is a way to become "un-nervous" so to speak!
I am not talking about good friends who need a shoulder to lean on...I am talking about the people who take advantage and who are always feeling "wronged."
I realize these are divisive times, but come on...some people go too far.
If this person dismisses your concerns and tries to sweep the problem under the rug, watch out!
It's best if you dump your friend in stages...I'll explain.
Often, when someone lashes out at you like that, the reason could be completely unrelated.
I think we all have someone like this in our lives. And usually we let them drone on and on...but not anymore...
Is your friend embarrassed to admit that you are her pal? Could be, but probably has to do with a different reason....
If someone is lashing out at you, should you a. defend yourself b. simply leave the room? Neither! Let's talk about how to get this person to back off!
I know your initial reaction would be to answer sarcastically, but don't, and here's why....
What does it really mean if someone says they want to keep in touch with you? Are they just being polite??
I have had that happen...I think we all have. You know someone can't stand you even before you have uttered a word!
Your friend comes to you with a problem, and after listening carefully, you respond with a thoughtful answer. And yet this person doesn't like the answer. You can simply say, "Then don't ask me for my opinion!" But why did they come to you in the first place??!! How to handle these types of people.
How to handle people who don't look you in the eye. Is it shyness...or something else?
Groups can be tough. Whether you are surrounding the water cooler, at a party or on a zoom call, here's how to deal...
When someone asks you if you are doing alright, it is OK to say no, and explain why. I think we are all accustomed to just soldiering through, and that will not help you get through the tough times.
