What do people mean when they say they've lost their mojo?
Mojo is a term commonly encountered in the African-American folk belief called hoodoo. A mojo is a small bag, a type of magic charm, often of red flannel cloth and tied with a drawstring, containing botanical, zoological, and/or mineral curios, petition papers, and the like. It is typically worn under clothing. The exposure of uninformed audiences to the word mojo led to misunderstanding and additional uses of the word, usually to refer to male virility, libido, or the penis. This misunderstanding was popularized by Jim Morrison of The Doors, who named himself "Mr. Mojo Risin" — an anagram of Jim Morrison — in the song "L.A. Woman". This usage of the word was turned to comedy in the 1999 film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, in which the title character has his mojo stolen, and loses his confidence and sexual prowess. Some other slang meanings of mojo in common use include: charisma, karma, cocaine and thing (as in "Gimme that mojo!").
What do people mean when they say they lost themselves?

When someone says "I'm sorry for your loss"...?
...referring to a bereavement, what do you say in response? My mum died about six months ago now (God, I can't believe it's so long) - and honestly I can't remember what I said in response to people who said it, I don't think I cared what I said, I probably just cried or hugged them. But recently I've started working in a place that I used to a couple of years back and I often see people who know but I haven't seen since, and they traditionally say "I'm sorry to hear about your mum" or whatever - and I just find myself stumbling embarrassingly over what to say. I've said "It's okay" and that just sounds stupid because of course it's not okay. And I've said "Thank you" but then I think that sounds stupid because it's not like they're complimenting me. What do you say? Sorry this is a really stupid question!
What to say after someone says "I'm sorry for your loss"?
I was confronted with this situation last year when my little brother killed himself. I didnt know what to say all throughout the funeral. I think I just said "I'm sorry too." "I know." "thank you for your sympathy." They dont know what else to say, they just want to tell you that they care about what you are going through. I dont think it really matters if you say anything back at all.
What does it mean if someone says you look like a "lost puppy"?

Is it normal to hate it when people say my condolences when someone dies?
Have you ever been faced with this situation yourself? What to say when someone has lost a loved one is very uncomfortable because there really are no words that make you feel better. So when someone offers their condolences they are acknowledging this but want you to know is makes them sad that you are suffering. Personally, I lost three family members in the last two years. The most recent was my brother who died at 72. I took it very hard and there were no words anyone could say that could even begin to make the pain less. But I knew they cared enough to say something just to let me know they understood it needs to be mentioned but the words are of little comfort if any. So don't be upset with their choice of a generic term like Condolences. Be grateful they cared enough to say anything. I told a casual acquaintance about my brothers death which happened a few weeks earlier, he replied, “yeah I heard about that” then promptly started a conversation with another person. I thought that was incredibly insensitive. His discomfort for the subject matter outweighed any concerns for how I was feeling. Now that bothered me a lot for a long time. Now whenever I see this man I think of that. So don't get caught up in the semantics but recognize the spirit of their words. It is very awkward for someone trying to be comforting and cautious about not saying the wrong thing.
If someone has lost your respect, did they ever earn it back?
It is literally impossible to regain my trust or respect. I say this because once it's gone, I have to choose to give it back, and I never decide to. Im the forgive but never forget kind of person. I dont care how you grew from your experiences if you make a dire mistake with me, you can apply them to the future. I dont ever trust someone ever again once it's broken because theyre a risk to my comfort, and Im definitely not risking my well-being or anything else.If I ever would, good luck finding that reason I would trust someone again for. I already don't want to talk to my dad because he only wants to be around when it's convenient for him, haha!
