What Does Hextricate Mean

Is "The bear be extricated from the ropes" correct? Is it correct to use "be" instead of "is"?

Hello Anwar. Thanks for the A2A.If the sentence is a command/order: Let the bear be extricated from the ropes.If the sentence is a statement, then it starts to be more complicated. Why complicated? Because now we have to find the correct Tense. Even if we say the extrication is in the present, I wonder which Present Tense:Simple Present Tense: The bear is extricated from the ropes.This Present Tense sounds odd to native speakers because when the situation is so dramatic we tend Progressive Present Tense.Progressive Present Tense: The bear is being extricated from the ropes.Part of the problem with talking about English verbs—and particularly what we call “to be” verbs is that we are not always conjugating the infinitive “to be” . But how else do we talk about that verb is/are/were. The language is just fine, many people speak English—including you—but remember that language, any language, is spoken before the grammar books are written. So along the way, English speakers used that strange is/are/were verb.Best of Luck.

What is the best way for one to extricate themself from an existential crisis?

Get out of thy head. Do something with your hands. Help someone in your immediate vicinity who you know needs something that you can help with, either in home, work, circle of friends, etc.Stop reading so many other people’s thoughts on “the big picture”. ie. My guess is not having information regarding how to think about things is NOT one of your problems.Cut the information consumption glut to a bare minimum and instead give yourself some time to “test and approve” what actually works for your own personal journey. Usually just a few principles, not entire systematic thought or idea frameworks. Anyways, test a few of the ones that are easy to understand out. See where your will vs your ever-transient desires vs your ever-transient emotions intersect. You might get some clues to practical things that make for a better time for you on the planet vs. not so great.Appreciate your times of ennui or boredom as what they really might be…space where not much is going on to allow you to truly embrace what it means to be at rest or at peace. Peace here not meaning the absence of issues, contradictions, pain, or problems, but more like a space where you can relish the base fact that you exist and to exist, even with all the issues, contradictions, pain, or problems…is actually a pretty neat thing that your best “answer” for, is you making the most of your little slice of it, along with the others sharing some of that slice too. ;-)p.s. pic is from Zach Snyder’s ‘Man of Steel’ movie from 2013.

How does one extricate oneself from mansplaining situations? Is "sorry, I don't want to listen anymore" a good idea?

I like Eva Glasrud's advice on her web site The Happy Talent:So next time someone mansplains something to you, don't feel like you have to sit there and listen. Just say so. It's not that hard.Do you want me to answer, or do you want to just keep talking?I already know that -- I took Intro to Physics in middle school, too.Can we fast-forward to the part where you're done explaining stuff I already know?By any chance, do you spend a lot of time with children? No? Oh. I just thought from the way you explain everything...It's funny you think you need to explain that to me, since I [qualification or experience] and you didn't.What makes you think I don't already know that?Wow. Don Draper, much?Lots of guys who do rude and sexist things don't even realize they're doing it. If you point it out to them, they'll typically stop. If you're worried about seeming too "harsh" or "bitchy," I guess you can flash them a smile or something...But if you started explaining something to them that they already knew, do you think they'd worry about seeming bitchy? No. They'd probably just say, "I already know that," like it wasn't a big deal to say so, because it's not.Here's How I Stopped My Mansplainer From Mansplaining.Her advice works. I've been doing what's described above since before she wrote that piece and so, when I saw her article, I was like, "Yessss, someone has clearly explained this. Fantastic."Any principles such as, "I shouldn't have to say anything though," or fears like, "But responding harshly would be scary to do," are unrelated to what actually works. Her advice actually works — and it will likely make condescending explainers think better before doing it again to others in the future.Edit:Oh! I've got something good to add to Eva's list."You've got an amazing command of the obvious."

What does it mean to be mired in work?

‘Mire’ as a verb means to become so involved with something that it seems impossible to extricate oneself from that involvement, even to take a short break. ‘Mired in work’ means: ‘The person has job responsibilities that he/she has to take care of right now and the person has no idea how long it will take to finish and other urgencies could arise at any moment which could extend his/her time working.’

How do you extricate a mentally disturbed woman from a mind control expert?

Although I have commented already on your question, I will attempt to appease the gist of your inquiry.      If I had a friend who was under the control of another, more powerfully acute in the realm of manipulation and wanted to rescue them, I would first attempt to wrest some answers before beginning my journey into an unknown to which I have yet to experience.     First and foremost I would need to know how and why this happened. What was the cause or the catalyst to coerce this friend to seek counsel with this person?      Secondly, is the treatment of my friend adverse in only MY eyes or are there more witnesses that would side with my accusations?     Thirdly, what actions of recourse do I have at my disposal? And are they legal in the eyes of the court system?     Once these questions have been attended to, it would then be time to execute your next move. But that choice is entirely up to you and they way you interpret the answers that have been given.      Given these possibilities, I would seek credible sources to help rectify the problem.      My credible sources would include clergy, police and professionals in the realms of psychology and psychiatry. But then, that's me.

How do you extricate yourself from a narcissist's "grip"?

The reason it is hard to get out from under that grip, is because of the narcissist’s ability to make you doubt yourself, to break you down, to take away any support you may have had and to basically control you through intimidation and manipulation. To truly free yourself, you will need to remove yourself physically and take a firm decision to break all contact. Only in the months after going no contact will you gradually break that grip. It takes time to realise how much you’ve been broken down, how much you’ve changed from the time before you met and it takes time to reprogramme the way you think and react. Your time with the narcissist would’ve changed you into someone who is constantly trying not to cause ripples, walking on eggshells and trying to appease this person to minimise the emotional and the physical abuse.So arm yourself with knowledge about narcissism and NPD because this will help you look at your situation more objectively, and you will start seeing this narcissist for what he/she really was. It helps to talk to someone who specialises in NPD. What I found to be very useful, was to think about how you see a healthy relationship, and to make a list of what you expect and what you are prepared to do. Ask yourself if the narcissist would do the same, and there you have your answer. It is a two-way street, and there should be a healthy balance. Consider these elements of a healthy relationship:A serious relationship needs unconditional love from both partners. It requires mutual trust and support. If you hurt your partner once, you will try not to do it again. If you make a mistake, you try to fix it. If you struggle with anything, you help each other through this.Holding grudges is like a poison. It is simple: if both of you are not prepared to make things right and move on, then move out.Be happy for each other. Help each other grow and achieve success (at any level), encourage each other when times are tough, and build each other up constantly.Accept that you both have flaws and weaknesses, and respect those things your partner finds hard to handle. But do not let him/her use it to manipulate and intimidate. There is no fear or constant tension if there is love.Once you manage to believe that you are deserving of this, you will reject that grip and find your own happiness. Good luck.

How do you extricate yourself from an unwanted conversation with a boring person without being too rude about it?

If it’s that important to you, simply commit harikari. Otherwise allow them to talk and realise they might benefit from venting their opinions and thoughts to you. It’s only ten or twenty minutes of your probably 70–80 years on the planet. They might say something you find interesting within that ten minutes or maybe not but at least you weren’t an arsehole to them by trying to avoid the fact they exist in your presence for a brief snapshot of the 80 year long action film that is your lifeThat said, you didn’t go anonymous so you probably aren’t an arsehole.I’d say it varies on the situation but you could just bring the conversation to an end somehow and go off on your own to smoke a cigarette or just say you need the toilet. You can give them an offer they could refuse but there’s always the possibility that they will say ‘yes’ and you’ll feel like an arsehole for resenting their presence whilst your doing whatever activity. Don’t make it too obvious that you are giving them an invitation you know they won’t like, like for example asking a vegan if they want to come with you to get a hotdog.You could realise they would rather not be talking to you either and feel they are doing it out of obligation when they’d rather be at home. If this is the case then they might also be looking for an excuse to leave
