Why do I have trouble walking past someone?
I am slightly assertive but usually accommodating. This personality type gives me the ability to stare at people for a reasonable amount of time. However, in crowd situations like a college campus, I usually avoid staring at others and cheat by glancing at students' foreheads between the eyebrows (except if they are very tall). The typical rules are: eyes to forehead = submission; eyes to nose = equal; eyes to mouth = romantic I find it that people who maintain heavy eye contact are not particularly aggressive. Perhaps they are confident, happy, lost in thought. Maybe you look like a celebrity. I totally agree with how you feel, as it is a human reaction to assertiveness. In the case of the occasional stare down, in direct violation of social norm, I match eye contact and lift my eyebrows or nod to acknowledge them. This gives off the idea that you are not challenging them, nor does it give them the impression that you are a weakling. For girls, principles are completely different. Try to keep your eyes on her head.
I'm having trouble deepthroating and I don't know what else to do?
The new guy I'm seeing is a lot bigger than the last guy I was with.. I don't have a sensitive gag reflex anymore, that's not the problem. The problem is, I can't get it into my throat. I can only get it to the back of my mouth but I can't get it any deeper. He tries to push my head down but I just can't go any farther. Do I just have a small throat?? Its not that hes too thick, he's just so long that it has to go inmy throat for max. pleasure... What can I do to rt better at it???
Can a 40 year old get in trouble for dating a 15 year old?
At 15 you are very vulnerable! You need to seriously consider thisn guys motives! He might be completley genuine, but you just have to ask what does a 40 year old want ith a 15 year old. Firstly are you completely sure he feels the same way about you, and that you don't have a teenage crush, or he doesn't see you as uncle-neice type 'affection'? Secondly he would get in alot of trouble, im not sure if you are from the states of uk or whatever, but in the uk legal age for sex is 16, i know you might not want this and it may nt be that type of relationship but either way people will talk! Please Please think about what you are doing, he may be genuine but you hear of so many naive girls getting whisked away by crushs and getting themselves in alot of trouble. Im sure if he really honestly likes you hel wait a few years. But in the mean time try and think realistically and dont do anything you might regret!
Why do I have trouble accepting kind gestures?
If I don't know someone very well, a simple kind gesture makes me uncomfortable for some reason. For example, if someone I am acquainted with but am not close with opens a door for me, I wait and tell them to go first. I am not really sure why I do that, but I can tell that sometimes it offends people that they try to do something nice and I don't accept it. I am always okay with doing something nice for other people but not let them do the same for me. I'd like to break out of this habit and a good start would be to understand the why of it. I used to be very shy as a small child but I am not really all that shy now. Maybe it is a trust thing, but then why over something so small like someone at work offering to pour my coffee? It seems like I should know the answer but I don't. What do you think it could be?
I'm bad at math and I don't know how to get better. What should I do?
Nobody is "bad" at math because anybody can get better at it with practice. And math is really simple concepts built upon other simple concepts.I probably wasn't really good at math in general but I ended up with a Math minor in college. It was really hard, but I studied it a lot. The great thing about math is that you can eventually understand it after working at it repeatedly. It could be the same set of problems over and over; just keep practicing.I used to do questions in the textbook over and over and check my answers in the back. I actually did more work than I was assigned because I couldn't get it. During my undergraduate degree, one of the four classes I took was a math course and it took about 80% of my study time.Being bad at math is simply negative thinking. You should rather think, "I can get better at math if I try hard enough."Somethings like physical abilities have limits, but with math, there aren't.Additional reading:The Myth of 'I'm Bad at Math'The Myth of Being ‘Bad’ at Math — Aspen Ideas
My younger brother snuck out. My parents don’t know he’s gone. Is this something I should tell my parents?
I’m 15. I have a brother who is 13. Tonight I woke up in the middle of the night and was having a hard time falling back asleep so I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. While I was there, I saw my younger brother dressed like he was going out somewhere. It was about 1 am so I asked what he was doing awake and dressed. He told me that he was going to see a girl and he was just about to head out. I told him he should stay home because it was way past curfew. He left anyways. I don’t really know what I should do. I feel like this is something that, if I don’t tell my parents and they find out I knew, I could get in a lot of trouble. I’m kind of tired so I was thinking that maybe I should just tell them that way they can figure it out and I can go back to bed instead of waiting up for my brother to be sure that he’s ok. What do you all think?
