Do you find it difficult to make small talk with strangers? Most of us do. Talking with someone we don’t know can make many of us feel very anxious, especially if we happen to be shy.

Clinging and smothering behaviours are the unsavoury consequences of a deep-set existential, almost mortal fear of abandonment and separation.

People who are lonely and who have few friends often dread the arrival of evenings and the weekends, because they have nothing to do, and no one to do it with.

I needed to come up with something “catchy” for my book, “AloneAbility: Learning to Embrace Your Aloneness” – so I was thinking about how I tell my readers that they have to be proactive when it comes to their aloneness. You’ve got to plan things out ahead of time; don’t want to be caught home alone with no one to hang out with on a Saturday night or a big holiday weekend or your birthday! So I decided on “Mind your aloneness, if you mind your aloneness.” Get it?

When you are with other people, do you let them get to know the “real you”? Or do you hide yourself from others, always acting stiff and polite? In some societies, people behave very formally with each other.

If you live in a country where the society is more informal, such as the United States, people will li

One of my friends recently asked me how she should handle an upcoming lunch with her lawyer. She was worried that the lunch would become awkward if they ran out of things to talk about. I suggested she should try to mentally prepare a few general questions such as, “Do you still enjoy being a lawyer after all these years?” or “Have you worked on any interesting cases lately?” or “If you weren’t a lawyer, what would you like to be?” In many cases, you can adapt t

Good friends enrich our lives in so many ways. Through a magical combination of similarities and differences, friends offer us the opportunity to know ourselves as we are and help us grow into who we want to be. Our similarities attract us to each other, comforting us with familiarity when we see ourselves in them. When we are drawn to those we admire, the same recognition is at work, unconsciously acknowledging that these people possess qualities that we ourselves possess. B

When you have a loved one you suspect is struggling with an addiction, it can be difficult to know when and how to voice your concerns.

Can you really say that you like yourself? Or that you love yourself? For many of us, this is a hard thing to do. We are so critical of ourselves.

“Nice guys finish last” I’m sure many shy men can relate with this statement. I’ve seen over the years that shy men have an air of “I’ll always be nice no matter what.” They are easily forgiving of others regardless of what the situation is. Overly NICE guys also tend to remember things others did even though on the outside he’s forgiving about it; and these incidents just keep piling up more and more. After reflecting on the question of “Why are they so nice even after being pushed around?” I realized it came down to one factor. That behavior comes from FEAR.

I do consider pizza to be a finger food because you can eat it with your hands, but many good pizzas will require 2 hands to eat and a plate to catch the grease.

When I was twenty-two, I was befriended by a woman named Doris who was thirty years older than I was. Although Doris was then a fifty-two year old woman, she did not feel it was inappropriate to befriend me.
