So, I'm making a big building in survivlecraft creative mode and I wanna make a simple elevator so I don't have to take up space with staircases, and I want it to be luxurious, so ladders are out. I'm really bad with the electronics in survivlecraft, so can someone give me step by step directions, because the videos are hard to follow. Remember: SURVIVLECRAFT!!!!!!! Not minecraft, or minecraft PE, SURVIVLECRAFT!!!!!!!!!!! (link)
|
I play minecraft, not survivalcraft. I've still found you a video for survivalcraft for how to make one

I am a 20 year old female. As the title sums it up, I really can't stop lying. I make up stories about almost anything and about the silliest things. sometimes I don't realize that I'm lying but now that I do I see how much it is affecting important aspects of my life. My relationship with my boyfriend is being jeopardized by this, and recently my lies have been catching up to me. I don't want to be this person, any advice on how to stop? (link)

Because one of my friends is a compulsive liar, I've looked this up before. I've looked over an article which may be helpful:
1. GET STILL AND THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
Learn to not open your mouth until you consciously and deliberately think about what you are going to say. Taking time to think will serve you well. This breaks the compulsive nature of lying. You start to gain control back.
Be as still and present as you can be. Deep breathe from your abdomen with slow breaths imagining your lungs are in your stomach. This helps with panic and nerves and prevents fear from entering the equation (which is usually the root cause of all lies.) You may stutter and stumble more when first stopping lying as you will be paying more attention to not lying but this is okay, very normal and will pass.
In time there will be more inner ease as you detoxify from the pleasure chemical dopamine you have been addicted to and adjust to life without lies. All of this prevents lies from leaving your mouth.
Regaining control over what comes out of your mouth is the easiest way not to lie but it will be far from easy. Expect that. Give yourself time.
Sometimes shutting up very quick is the only way not to lie.
Sometimes not speaking for long periods is the only way not to lie too.
If you fear you are vulnerable to lying on any given day protect yourself with silence. Wait for your self esteem to come back up and only then allow yourself to speak. You will begin to learn where your safety margins are.
When someone asks you something, take a brief pause before answering and get into the habit of telling yourself not to lie before you speak. Some lying addicts find the affirmation “honesty is the best policy” incredibly useful before they utter a single word.
Pausing as you speak is also very useful as is speaking slower than you would do
normally to “filter” your words before you speak to people. Really think about what
the real answer is to the question you are being asked or the thing is you are discussing.
If you are uncomfortable answering truthfully, say you are not comfortable. You don’t have to give any explanations. Your only obligation is to truth whosever feathers you ruffle in the process…
Loved ones may interpret your stumbling as you trying to hide lies. Ride the storm of that. They are as traumatized as you are by having lived in the twilight zone for so long and will settle down to inner peace in time the more they witness truth from you.
Give them their moment of stumbling. They’ve paid their dues as much as you have. They deserve and have earnt their moments of imperfection.
Each time you deflect the impulse to lie and speak the truth it is a huge victory and a massive accomplishment. You start to realize that you are not the failure your lower vibration addiction has had you believe you are.
Telling the truth then becomes less and less frightening over time.
2. IMMEDIATELY BACKTRACK IF YOU LIE
Laura O (founder of Liars Anonymous) said that after 5 years in recovery in a 12 step program she “leads a pretty honest life with the occasional slip”. When she does relapse with a lie she immediately corrects herself and admits to having lied to the person she is speaking to.
Laura O also speaks of a distinctive moment before she lied where her conscious choice was to not be honest and instead to say what she knew would keep her self image safe. She said this was because she did not feel safe about how the other person would react and that they may potentially threaten who she was to her core… “A very scary place” Laura O admits. For Laura O, recovery has been all about trying to “drill down to that exact moment of where I make that choice and learning to be consciously aware so that I can make a better choice”.
Admitting a lie immediately increases self esteem and credibility. It also helps trust to begin to be rebuilt too. Doing this takes strength and courage as you take the risk of looking a fool but is well worth it for the benefits it brings to yourself and your relationships. Remembering that lying is an addiction not a moral issue will help you not judge yourself too for having the slip. Explain to the person that lying is an addiction over which you are often powerless.
Your ego may erupt as you consider backtracking on a lie and tell you that you are too far into a lie to backtrack now. Just know that the more time it takes for you to backtrack, the more damage will be done to your self esteem and the deeper you will go back into addiction.
The ego is simply the protector for low self esteem (and was born in the human psyche for this very reason) and has its place but in recovery it has to be watched like a hawk. It may lead you down false paths. Humility may seem the weaker ally but it is
the stronger in the long run and will always lead you to self love.
If you are in the middle of telling a lie stop yourself from finishing saying the lie – in mid sentence if you have to. Again, you may look foolish but these are simply the growing pains of recovery. View it like this… if you lie and don’t backtrack, the long term shame you will feel for having lied will far outweigh any temporary foolishness you feel at coming clean in those moments. And if people get annoyed with you at that moment? Breathe deep and ride the storm… Nothing awful will happen to you. The roof will not fall in. You are safe.
The person’s annoyance is simply their fear on show. Anger is masked fear just as depression is stuffed anger. The person is simply frightened of something that has been triggered in them because of the lie. Their anger will pass.
Give loved ones their moment of fear.
See it for what it is. They fear the roof falling in just as much as you do but just for different reasons.
Every lie you backtrack on may create temporary annoyance in a person but will, at the same time, tell them you mean business about recovering from lying addiction and will go a long way to them trusting you in the long term.
Try not to ever justify your lie. Loved ones will smell your insincerity a mile off and this will make them pull up their shutters again.
Once you tell people you are a lying addict, your credibility will be less than zero in the beginning of your recovery. It will take time for trust to be regained. By admitting your lies immediately will begin the process of making people more comfortable with you again.
Developing any new positive behavior is always difficult at first. The brain needs to be rewired and needs time to do it. The neurons in the brain associated with lying are like solid and well used highways and motorways. Telling the truth can feel like you are going via the back roads which are full of cobbles and potholes. But over time, telling the truth will create new neurons which become like new motorways and highways and telling lies will feel like you are going via the back roads.
We become what we practice every day.
During those times that you don’t even a notice a lie until later, simply backtrack and admit to it as soon as you realize. It is not about perfection. It is about progress and the willingness to recover.
If your lie warrants a consequence of some description, take it on the chin and move on. It may sting for a while but you’ll survive.
If you have simply not been able to backtrack after lies, make a note of the lies and have the resolve to tell one person all the lies you told at the end of each day. This cleans the slate and keeps the lower vibration energy monkey off your back.
A little feeling happens right before a lie. This is the thrill of what the lie will give you – the payoff etc. Recognize it consciously and make a choice to lie or tell the truth. You have the time. Not much time but just enough to choose self love or self hate.
You are more likely to be compulsive with your lies if you are on a “lying bender” and hating yourself every moment of every day as this is the food source of the lower vibration addiction energy. But if you are choosing a path of self love and recovery, the less compulsive your lying will be as you are living in a higher vibration which the lower vibration cannot thrive in.
3. JOURNAL ABOUT YOUR LIES
Every lie you tell, write it down in a journal or in a temporary notebook that you carry with you at all times that you then transfer to your journal at a later date. Write about what was going on with you before you lied. How were you feeling? Were you insecure? Needy? Vulnerable? In need of attention? Did you feel “less than” everyone else? Etc. Patterns will soon emerge as to the individual reasons for why you lie. With this awareness will come self empowerment as you begin to understand yourself and what makes you tick in relation to your lying addiction.
Once you get some background awareness of the reasons for each lie you tell and have written about your feelings surrounding the lie, and how you could have avoided telling the lie, forgive yourself, remember that lying is an addiction and not a moral issue and then file it away in your psyche.
Then move on.
If you stay in self hate, the lower vibration energy which is the blood stream of your lying addiction (and all addictions) will take hold and you will end up lying more. The lower vibration energy needs self disgust, self hatred and shame to thrive. Starve it with self love and self acceptance. It will soon quieten down.
4. TAKE ALL LIES SERIOUSLY
Don’t allow yourself to get away with lying about even the most insignificant things. Little lies do as much damage to the self esteem as big lies so take all of your lies seriously. Admit to them immediately. Never let yourself get away with lying.
One lying addict said “it’s about always needing to remember that I don’t get to decide what is important for me to be truthful about.”
This will be difficult in the beginning. Detoxing from the drug dopamine and the lying way of life will no walk in the park.
Be prepared for that.
You will be living life without the protective skin lying gave you and the discomfort of that will be extreme at times. Ride each storm… It will ease over time. Each truth you tell will be like a healing balm on your raw skin and will heal you over time. But for a while, yes, you will be completely exposed and vulnerable without your lies. There’s just no way around this.
The only way out is through.
The truth may be difficult for a moment but a lie turns into another lie and then you will be lost again to fear and the lower vibration energy that feeds addiction. This is the equivalent to an alcoholic taking the first drink after being sober for a while and then not being able to stop drinking as the first drink has set off the compulsion and addiction again.
It is the first unacknowledged lie that does the damage. Whereas if you admit to the lie immediately – however big or small the lie – it stops that lower vibration energy in its tracks before it can start working on chewing you up and spitting you out with it’s venomous bullying.
You will need to practice having patience with yourself as you navigate the tricky terrain of early recovery. Yes it is easier to tell a lie than to admit to something and face consequences but you know it will never stop there… It will snowball out of control unless you stop it from rolling in the first place.
It will be difficult at first to break the fight or flight response you feel when in situations where you would usually make something up but if you persevere and walk though the discomfort, this will help create new healthier neurons of honest behavior in the brain.
Each small step of truthfulness though will slowly but certainly help you gain strength and self esteem which will allow you to be the real you…
5. DON’T REPLACE EXAGGERATING WITH LYING
Be on constant alert for slipping into exaggerating as a replacement for lying. This can be compared to replacing heroin with methadone. Both are still drugs and both will affect the self esteem.
Exaggeration is a slippery slope back to full blown daily lying.
Exaggerating needs to have a skull and cross bones on it in your mind as much as lying does as something to stay well clear of.
It’s like an alcoholic having a shandy (a small amount of alcohol mixed with lemonade) and thinking it is safe to drink. It may be watered down but it is still poison to the alcoholic.
6. MAKE THE CONSCIOUS DECISION TO STOP LYING
Make a conscious decision as to whether or not you want to recover from lying addiction.
Make a choice about whether you are in or out of recovery or not and stick to it.
Being in recovery does not mean never lying again. It simply means you intend to have both feet in the camp of “having a go” - not in being perfect.
If you are not yet ready to recover, that’s fine. Be honest with yourself about your not being ready. Just don’t set yourself up to fail. If you do, the lower vibration energy of the addiction will chew you up and spit you out. It is very cunning and feeds on uncertainty which will drive you deeper into your addiction.
When you are ready to recover, you don’t have to be a “dancing through the tulips” type of ready, just a knowing that you are done with destroying your life through lies. No-one comes into recovery “happy” to be there in the literal sense. They usually come to recovery with sores of their knees from having fallen so much and are just desperate for the chance of another way to live.
7. TAKE IT ONE MOMENT AT A TIME
Learn to stay in the present. Setting goals too far ahead encourages living in a time that isn’t here yet and will never be here. There is only the “NOW”. There is never “later”.
Tell one truth at a time.
That’s all it takes.
You tell one truth at a time, one word at a time, one moment at a time, one conversation at a time, one person at a time and one day at a time.
Never say to yourself or anyone else that you are stopping lying for life. That is too much for the psyche to endure and cope with and you will crumble under the pressure of that. Stay in the moment as much as possible and don’t lie only for that moment.
There will be something very powerful about saying to yourself (or writing) “I did not lie for five minutes or a full hour (etc) today.”
Be kind to yourself.
Your past is to be learnt from but not stared at repeatedly. Don’t look back too much once you have cleaned up the messes left behind in the wake of your lying addiction unless there is a good reason to do so. The past is a dangerous place when the lower vibration is on the war path. It will chew you up and spit you out and will do it through the guilt and shame you have carried for years.
Admit you have a lying addiction problem on a daily basis and address it on a daily basis. This will help create new neurons in your brain that will be part of the foundation for your recovery.
QUICK TIPS
The following are suggestions only. Some or none may feel right for you. Aim to suspend your doubts and give those that resonate with you a try. Ignore those that don’t. What works for one person will not work for another.
1. Never tell yourself you are “giving up” lying. To “give up” something is to be deprived of that thing and can lead to wanting that thing even more. Instead, tell yourself you are “stopping” lying instead.
2. Try weaning yourself off lying by telling one lie then one truth then one lie then one truth etc.
3. In addition to your resolve to not lie, also proactively resolve to not create any more messes that will encourage lying.
4. Nothing makes it easier to not lie than when everyone around you knows you are a lying addict and to scrutinize your words. Tell them. Tell them you are a lying addict. Tell them it is a disease not a moral issue. If you feel unsafe with somebody who may harm you if you were to tell them, trust yourself enough to have discernment and tell them nothing. You know who can be trusted and who can’t.
5. Have people hold you accountable for your lies. Sometimes you may not know you have lied until later so accountability balances that out.
6. Start experimenting with being honest with small things and build up to the bigger things.
7. Think ahead of time when you are more likely to lie. Think about your lying patterns and consciously pre-empt yourself. If you always lie to the local shop keeper for example, anticipate this and prepare yourself for the discomfort of telling the truth to the shopkeeper or of saying nothing. Anticipate these types of moments. Or if you feel too vulnerable on any given day, don’t go into that particular shop as the person is a trigger for you.
8. Use the acronym H.A.L.T. as a guide for relapse prevention. It stands for “Hungry, Angry, Lonely and Tired.” Addicts are more likely to be more vulnerable to their addiction when they are in any of these four states.
9. Pay extra attention to your words when you are anxious or excited as you are more likely to lie in either state. If you feel becoming either, BREATHE SLOWLY AND DEEPLY FROM YOUR STOMACH.
10. Give yourself mini goals each day or each hour to not lie. Make the goals realistic for where you are at.
11. Buy a wall calendar. On days you don’t lie, color the day in blue. On the days you lie color the day in red. This way you can view your progress better. Alternatively, buy a “page a day” diary calendar. Each hour you are honest, color blue, each hour you lie color red. As time goes on, you will see patterns as well as growth. For instance, you may lie more in work than at home as co-workers, for instance, may not be aware that you are a lying addict. Once you see the pattern, consciously decide to address it head on.
12. When you feel you are desperate to lie, do something to distract yourself like cleaning for example. It takes the edge off the urge to relapse.
13. List 3 positive traits or behaviors about yourself daily. For example if you were kind to someone that day include that. The more your self esteem rises the less likely you are to lie.
14. List 3 things you are grateful for each day. The more you are in the vibration of abundance, the less likely you are to feel the need to lie as lying is a lower vibration act. It’s hard to be grateful and negative at the same time.
15. It is very difficult to remove a negative thought or habit without replacing it with a positive one. Nature hates a void. Consciously choose new positive thoughts and habits.
16. Develop goals and hobbies that define who you authentically are as opposed to who everybody else likes, wants or needs you to be.
17. Get into the habit of finding things you do well and acknowledge them to yourself regularly.
18. Write a list of things you are great at and understand and embrace your positive qualities because your self esteem is totally intertwined with your lying addiction. Bring up your self esteem and the lies slowly leave your life.
19. Use self esteem or positive thinking recordings on an ipod/ MP3 player. Listen to them every day.
20. To get better acquainted with the real authentic you, interview yourself either with a mic or written down. What is your favorite color? What are your interests? Likes? Dislikes? Favorite foods? Favorite movie? Favorite teacher at school? Favorite person? Why? Go deep. Do this every day for as long as it takes to find the real person hidden underneath all the lies. Once you find the person, liberate him or her slowly but surely. Know that after all these years, it is only you keeping that person in prison now. No-one else. Write down a full description of who you are without and underneath the lies. See what qualities etc you have. When you are done and are as comfortable as you can be with it, give it to a loved one and introduce yourself…
21. Each day you are lie-free, write in your journal at the end of each of those days what you learnt that day about your addiction and yourself. The more self aware you become about your own personal experience of lying the more armed you will be for when you are next tempted to lie.
22. Remember that you can detoxify your brain fairly quickly from dopamine (the pleasure chemical associated with addiction) but it takes a lifetime to release the mental dependence. The urge to lie when your back is up the wall may never leave you. As addicts, you are hard wired to default to addiction when the going gets tough. Accept that. All addicts have the same faulty wiring. Some just have it more than others.
23. If you are really struggling to tell the truth, accept that as much as you can but have a written account of the real you and your truth somewhere so you are staying in reality at the same time which will dig you deeper into your recovery. Also, focus more on your feelings when you write too as opposed to the details of your life when you journal. This is to prevent you from being tempted to lie in the journal.
24. If you are really struggling to tell the truth, have another journal for your loved ones which could act as a resource for them for the future so they know the real you.
25. If you are simply unable to backtrack on a lie verbally straight away, have another way of admitting that something you just said was a lie. This could be something like pulling your ear. Ensure you have an agreement with the other person that pulling your ear means you are not capable of speaking about the lie at that time and for them not to question you at that specific moment. Have them simply touch your arm instead in acknowledgment of the lie and your courage. When you care able, discuss the lie with the person.
26. If you are simply unable to verbally backtrack on lies write the lie down on a piece of paper and give it to the person you lied to. Do this more with loved ones than non-loved ones to keep your newly recovering fragile psyche intact. Loved ones are less likely to shame you once they understand that lying is an addiction.
27. Strive to empathize with those you are lying to. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine how you would feel if you was them.
28. Don’t rush your recovery. There is a slogan in the recovery movement… “Easy does it but do it”. Recovery is a marathon not a sprint. Don’t get ahead of yourself by going too fast. You could be setting yourself up to fail. Your subconscious needs to adapt to the changes you are making. Give it time to get re-programmed with your new healthier behaviors.
29. Don’t start rolling backwards either. The only real direction, the only life giving, life saving direction is forward.
30. Get a mic and record stuff into your computer (use “Audacity” software. It is free) or phone etc. Play 2 parts – you and another person. First play the other person’s part. Record the kind of thing that person would say. Play it back and answer yourself. See if you are still lying to the recording. Stop the recording. Replay it. See if you can slowly start to tell the truth to the recording. Practice this often. Very slowly, step by step, you will learn to start telling the truth.
31. Practice simply listening instead of talking. When you are not thinking about what you are going to say next all the time, you can start becoming involved in observing the fascinating nature of real life. Spending time in nature too will ground you to what is real.
32. Set small goals. Achieve them. Set bigger goals. Achieve them. This will do wonders for your self esteem and move you away from the lower vibration of addiction.
33. When people start swapping anecdotes in your company, bite your tongue or walk away. No-one wants to hear how wonderful you are – even if you are. Most people are simply just obsessed with themselves. They want to hear their voice only.
34. Realize that 90% of everything people say is about stuff which doesn’t matter and of no consequence to the grander scheme of things. Make the decision to release your need to add to the froth floating around everywhere on this planet distracting us all from what is really important in life.
35. Keep it simple from here on in. Don’t over complicate your life any more. Live your life one day at a time.
36. Have a cue card to use in situations when you could respond with a lie too quickly. The card could say… 1. “Stop and Think” 2. “Own Your Behavior” 3. “Tell the Truth”. Stopping and thinking will provide you with some time to NOT create a lie and think of the consequences of telling the potential lie. It may seem odd that you won’t answer straight away but it is better than answering with a lie.
37. If you are toying with the idea of lying (as opposed to lying compulsively), think the lie through to the end - consequences wise. In the recovery movement, they talk about “picking up the phone before picking up the drug”. Use the same concept with lying. Speak to a trusted someone before you lie and this usually dissipates the desire to lie. You will find that there are unconscious emotions or fears going on in you that need addressing and this is the reason for your obsession in that moment to escape into your lying drug. Face them feelings in a healthy way and the desire to escape into lies will pass.
38. Listen to your body more. It has an intelligence all its own and speaks to you all the time. It will warn you when you are about to lie through things like sweaty palms, a racing heart, that excited feeling you get before a lie, butterflies in the stomach or a guilty feeling etc. Respect your body’s warning signals. Slow down. Examine your thoughts. Put a tool in place to stop yourself from lying. Think through the worst case scenario of lying and the best case scenario of not lying.
39. Learn everything you can about releasing the need to be perfect. Perfectionism will kill a lying addict in the end unless measures are taken to accept that you are, like the rest of us, imperfect. Expect to feel extremely uncomfortable as you release this behavior from your life. Ride the storm of that discomfort. It will pass.
40. Much of your behavior is routine. Consciously interrupt that routine. Still yourself and listen to your heart, mind and body. Ask yourself several times a day “what am I feeling?” Listen for the answers. Act on the answers. Decide to take better care of you. Be your own saviour.
41. Don’t isolate. Reach out and allow trusted others in. Secrets will keep you sick. The lower vibration energy loves secrets. It has a field day with them.
42. Practicing opposites is the way to break unhealthy habits and patterns. Fake it ‘til you make it. In the recovery movement they call it “acting as if”. After a time, your subconscious will not know the difference and you will become what you have been practicing. The subconscious has no opinion either way and will simply give you what you have been feeding it.

What is the best way to book a cruise as cheaply as possible? I heard that last minute ones are really cheap, but is it a good idea to do it that way, or is it even true that you can get on a ship cheaper that way? (link)
|
(this is what I learned in Econ-don't take everything I say super seriously asides from the link, just giving my opinion).
It's possible that last minute ones can be cheaper, because firms would rather lower the price to attract more people on than lose potential money because the ship wasn't full.
I don't know the negatives of this, though. I've given you a link with more info below

how do u know if a mangoe is ripe? (link)
|
After researching, I found it somewhat amusing that there's an entire site dedicated to mangos called mango.org
You could go chack that out. But what that site says is basically these tips below:
Don't focus on color. It is not the best indicator of ripeness.
Squeeze the mango gently. A ripe mango will give slightly.
Use your experience with produce such as peaches or avocados, which also become softer as they ripen.
Ripe mangos will sometimes have a fruity aroma at their stem ends.
The red color that appears on some varieties is not an indicator of ripeness. Always judge by feel.

So here I am involved in a startup... and who do you thing has to come up with job titles for everyone? Yes, that would be me. I thought it would be really easy, but after the first few, frankly they all sound the same. Is there a list of job titles out there, or some help in making them up for people who, well, don't really have any qualifications yet?
Thanks for any help. (link)
|
I think it really depends on what type of startup, because there are tons of job titles out there. You could go check out that link, it sorts different jobs out and you can click on each one to find the job titles.

I know there are different voice recognition programs out there but do any of them actually work, and by that I mean work well enough to use for reports for school or work? Does anyone have any experience with different ones that you could tell me about and perhaps point me in the right direction?
I guess I am afraid to waste money on software if it is just going to site on my shelf, but if it works it would save me a lot of pain since I have carpal tunnel already!
Thank you! (link)

Where can I watch this online for free? We are supposed to watch it for school, but I am out sick so I won't be there when they show it to the whole class. Please and thank you! (link)

You could always email your teacher asking them to send it to you. Admittedly, I pirate sometimes but I'm not going to advise you to do so. If you really want to, just search "the dictator movie watch online free" or go to a website where you can watch movies online for free. It shouldn't take you long, but you must be aware this isn't legal. It's around 2 years old so you should be able to find it easily, but I think asking your teacher for a copy would be better.

I'm young. I don't have an email address. Is it still possible for me to create a website? If so, how? Give me a link or something. (link)

There are many websites where you can make other sites. I recommend weebly.com, I some sites there for my school projects. However, for most of the sites like this, you have to have an email. It's better off if you create an email account.

I've doing an essay on social anxiety and I have a few questions for anybody who has it, or just anybody who can answer these questions in general since I couldn't find clear answers on google.
How is social anxiety diagnosed? Where do you go for this and how are you "tested"?
What is therapy like? What types of things go on or do you talk about in it?
What types of steps are you given to try and overcome social anxiety?
(Wasn't sure what category to put this in) (link)

To be diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, a person must meet criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Criteria for social anxiety disorder to be diagnosed include:
A persistent fear of social situations in which you believe you may be scrutinized or act in a way that's embarrassing or humiliating.
These social situations cause you a great deal of anxiety.
You recognize that your anxiety level is excessive or out of proportion for the situation.
You avoid anxiety-producing social situations.
Your anxiety or distress interferes with your daily living.
The two most common types of treatment for social anxiety disorder are medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy). These two approaches may be used in combination.
Psychotherapy
Psychological counseling (psychotherapy) improves symptoms in most people with social anxiety disorder. In therapy, you learn how to recognize and change negative thoughts about yourself. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most common type of counseling for anxiety. This type of therapy is based on the idea that your own thoughts — not other people or situations — determine how you behave or react. Even if an unwanted situation won't change, you can change the way you think and behave.
Cognitive behavioral therapy may also include exposure therapy. In this type of therapy, you gradually work up to facing the situations you fear most. This allows you to become better skilled at coping with these anxiety-inducing situations and to develop the confidence to face them. You may also participate in skills training or role-playing to practice your social skills and gain comfort and confidence relating to others.
Your mental health professional may help you develop relaxation or stress management techniques.
First choices in medications
Several types of medications are used to treat social anxiety disorder. However, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often the first type of medication tried for persistent symptoms of social anxiety. SSRIs your doctor may prescribe include:
Paroxetine (Paxil)
Sertraline (Zoloft)
Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
Fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem, others)
The serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) venlafaxine (Effexor) also may be an option for social anxiety disorder.
To reduce the risk of side effects, your doctor will start you at a low dose of medication and gradually increase your prescription to a full dose. It may take up to three months of treatment for your symptoms to noticeably improve.
Other medication options
Your doctor or mental health provider may also prescribe other medications for symptoms of social anxiety, including:
Other antidepressants. You may have to try several different antidepressants to find which one is the most effective and has the fewest unpleasant side effects.
Anti-anxiety medications. A type of anti-anxiety medication called benzodiazepines (ben-zo-di-AZ-uh-peens) may reduce your level of anxiety. Although they often work quickly, they can be habit-forming. Because of that, they're often prescribed for only short-term use. They may also be sedating. If your doctor does prescribe anti-anxiety medications, make sure you try taking them before you're in a social situation so that you know how they will affect you.
Beta blockers. These medications work by blocking the stimulating effect of epinephrine (adrenaline). They may reduce heart rate, blood pressure, pounding of the heart, and shaking voice and limbs. Because of that, they may work best when used infrequently to control symptoms for a particular situation, such as giving a speech. They're not recommended for general treatment of social anxiety disorder. As with anti-anxiety medications, try taking them before you need them to see how they affect you.
COPIED AND PASTED. I'm just saying, but I found this on google within 2 minutes.

A few days ago I went to sleep over my grandmothers house (Im going to sound like a crazy person right now, but whatever), Around 5 am I was laying on her couch and I started to hear somebody talk to me in my head. There was something I was feeling guilty about that time and that voice told me that he forgave me and that it was alright and I thought it was God at first. But after a while that voice became really annoying and when I started to doubt if it was God it became really scary. I would feel really heavy and started to hear more voices talking. I was in total panic because I had heard scary stories about people being possessed and killing others. And I was really afraid that my body was possessed too and would move out of itself. I suddenly started thinking of knives and all that and my family who was sleeping. I started clinging to the couch and keep holding on to it and tried to keep still. And when my leg suddenly began to spasm I freaked out. It felt like something jumped through my body and I got scared. And well at the end I started crying.
I then prayed to Jesus and asked if he could please help me get rid of the voices. When I stopped praying I heard one voice say 'Im still here' and I went on with praying. Then I called my mom to come get me because I was too scared and my grandma wouldn't wake up , when my mom came I got into the car and I heard angry growling & demon voices. I was so scared that I didn't tell my mom cause she wouldn't believe me. They've gotten worse.
I've been hearing voices on and off since I was 10 yrs old but now they're worse. I see shadows (not people's shadows) all of the time.
I probably sound like a lunatic but I swear this story is true. I have no reason to make this up since I don't gain anything from making myself look like Im crazy. I keep hearing scary demonic voices and I'm scared. I hear angry screaming and weird noises. I even saw a cloud of black smoke floating by me when I was in the living room. When I close my eyes sometimes I heard angry demonic voice too and I know I'm not mentally ill.

I'm not an expert in this stuff, but you may have schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is is a brain disorder that affects the way a person acts, thinks, and sees the world. People with schizophrenia have an altered perception of reality, often a significant loss of contact with reality. They may see or hear things that don’t exist, speak in strange or confusing ways, believe that others are trying to harm them, or feel like they’re being constantly watched.
These are the symptoms:
Social withdrawal
Hostility or suspiciousness
Deterioration of personal hygiene
Flat, expressionless gaze
Inability to cry or express joy
Inappropriate laughter or crying
Depression
Oversleeping or insomnia
Odd or irrational statements
Forgetful; unable to concentrate
Extreme reaction to criticism
Strange use of words or way of speaking
If you have any of those symptoms, then that may be it. I apologize beforehand if it isn't.
If it isn't, there's tons of sites on the paranormal. I read something about 'shadow people' before, you might wanna look that up. But I personally don't believe in that sort of stuff.
I think it's best if you tell a doctor anyway. You could try looking for exorcism stuff online, how to make holy water etc. if you're really paranoid.

So this has been going on for a while now but has gotten increasingly worse lately. I can't wake up on time. I set two alarms on different devices each with a snooze button to go off about 5 minutes later. I usually wake up late and don't remember at all hearing or turning off either alarm but according to my sister I do it, and also don't even budge when shaken to wake me up.
I also wake up at random times and do things in my sleep that I am unaware of. My sister recorded a video of my randomly springing out of bed or, going over to her bed and shaking her or even waking up and swearing out of nowhere. My parents told me I used to sleep walk but I don't walk that far if I happen to do it.
What is wrong? Why do I fall into this almost unconscious like sleep that not even two blaring alarms and a sister shaking me make me awake? And why do I sleep walk or do drastic things in my sleep without knowing? (link)

Well, there has been scientific proof that if you go camping for a week without going online or on your phone, your body clock will naturally reset or something like that. It may be worth a try if this habit gets really bad. You might wanna get a different kind of alarm clock, maybe you're too used to the noise and you can just sleep over it. Maybe you sleep too little or something so when you do sleep you sleep too deeply?
Alot of people sleepwalk, and sleepwalking occurs when you're in your deepest sleep http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/sleepwalking2.htm
Go look at that link. Most people grow out of it, so don't worry too much. You can always see a doctor to get medicine to prevent sleepwalking, but think if you really need it or not first. If you're an adult and still sleepwalk, you should consider it. But I don't think you're an adult yet xD
Doing meditation, giving yourself more me time and reducing strees, and having a good sleeping schedule may help too.

this is with relation to ancestry. (link)

Honestly, I didn't even understand this question. However, after quick research I found (just go give it a read):
Haplogroup L1 is believed to have appeared approximately 110,000 to 170,000 years ago.[citation needed] Haplogroup L1 is a daughter of L1-6 and genetic marker changes are 3666, 7055, 7389, 13789, 14178 and 14560.
Though it is typically used to refer to a family of lineages found in AFRICA, L1 is sometimes referred to as haplogroup L1-6, which is the macrohaplogroup that includes the majority of African lineages and all non-African lineages. Haplogroup L1-6 is the macrohaplogroup that includes subclades L1, L2, L4, L5, L6, and also L3 which gave rise to the two non-African haplogroups M and N. Haplogroup L1-6 and its only sibling haplogroup L0 are united by the matrilineal most recent common ancestor, (MRCA) of all living humans, Mitochondrial Eve. The existence of these two lineages, implies that Mitochondrial Eve had at least two daughters, one of whom is the maternal common ancestor of haplogroup L1-6 lineages.

Someone we know said that their neighbor makes their own dog food. Can you really do that? It doesn't need to be a clone of the puppy chow brand or anything but if you have any dog food recipes it would be awesome of you to share! :) Thank you! (link)
|
Yeah, it's possible.
Go to this site for a recipe
You have to check if your dog is allergic to some stuff though, then you'll have to search for a recipe for dogs with allergies.

Can you help me find out if there is a place to look up a license plate for free? Someone left their baby's blanket on the ground in a parking lot and I ran after them but they didn't see me. I turned it into the manager of the store but I was there today again and after a month it hasn't been claimed, so I don't know what to do. It is hand stitched and personalized from the baby's grandma so I know they would want it back. Yes, I tried the police, no they didn't care. Can anyone help me? (link)

Persons, who intend to purchase cars from private owners, do not want to run the risk of buying used cars that have costly hidden problems. So they try to find information on the vehicle, based on the VIN number and license plate.Persons seeking to find out if their driving record is accurate can use the Internet to verify the accuracy of their own driving records or search the record of someone else. Title 5 of the United States Code, section 552, of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) states that all persons have the right to request information on public records. Those records include data on persons involved in the operation of a motor vehicle while they are impaired by alcohol or illegal drugs, such as DWIs (driving while intoxicated) and the lesser charge DUIs (driving under the influence). Other public records are: arrests, court records, warrants, criminal records, court records and more. However, it appears that any such service imposes a charge for access to the information.There are websites like publicdata.com that permit look up of the owner of a motor vehicle; however, the service is not free. Unless persons have legal sanctions to obtain the data (for example, hit-and-run incident), vehicle registrant information is private and confidential, according to the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (www.accessreports.com persons desiring to order personalized or vanity license plates or plates that support worthy causes and non-profit organizations, each state maintains a website for free license-plate searches and fee-based orders for specialty plates. The website DMW.org can also help. Owned by a private company, the site offers assistance for most processes related to the business of the Department of Motor Vehicles. The site permits individuals to submit a free state-by-state inquiry for determining the availability of desired plate letters/numbers or expressions. Military veterans can find information on honorary license plates available in their state. Individuals can obtain information on fees and download applications for custom plates.
