:.Hey x3
My name is Emily and blah blah blah.


:.I have a lot of personal, family, and friend issues of my own so a lot of times, I can probably relate to you a lot of times if you have personal, family, and/or friend issues.


:.I can offer a lot of information, help, and advice on family and friend relationships, love lives, depression, stretching/flexibility, weight loss, violin, being organized, dog training, forensics (public speaking), keeping up with school/extracurricular activities, eating disorders, writing (stories and poems), and probably a lot of other random stuff like what to drink when you eat something spicy and why.


:.Although I can help a lot of you guys on the above subjects, I don't tend to take my own advice so it can become quite an awkward/ironic/contradicting situation for me or make myself sound like a complete and utter hypocrite.


:.Hannah Whitall Smith once said, "The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right." I agree 100% of it. Advice is advice and it is given when asked for. I give it and I leave it at that. It's up to the questioner/advice seeker to take it.


:.That point leads onto my philosophies in advice giving:
1. Advice is given when asked and no time else, unless your friend is about to irritate a black bear, then you should definitely advice your friend to back away and run for his or her life.
2. Advice is not critical, not judgmental, and definitely not biased. Advice is advice and should remain neutral.
3. Advice is to help, not to get 5s on every answer. As a result, my advice ends up being quite blunt and frank with a hint of rambling mixed in.

If you have general questions on the topics I can be a lot of help in (as listed above), most likely, they will be in my FORUM

If it is not, you can inbox me to request me to put it up.

:.If you want to ask me a question directly...
a)if it is not urgent and can wait a week or so, inbox me.
b)if it is an urgent question such as "I'm being eaten by a shark! What do I do???" first of all, I'm quite amazed that you can type while being eaten and second of all, e-mail me at cancel.life@gmail.com. I will answer you by midnight of that day (or if it's 11:55PM, probably by 3PM the following day).

Yo.
I know that its really bad for my knuckles but i cant help it. whenever im trying to think or something...i crack my knuckles. I have never hearrd of anything tht u can do 2 help it... so anyrhing goes i guess
thanks! =)

Well, there is no 100% certain scientific research that has been done that says that cracking knuckles are bad for you. However, I assume it will because you're doing something to your body that is wearing away something.

Anyways, cracking knuckles is a habit like biting nails and whatnot. Biting nails are easier to stop because you can put nail polish that is deliberately make really bitter so when you put your mouth on your fingers, you'll stop yourself before biting. Cracking knuckles is a harder on, though.

The user cracks her knuckles, too. Or used to anyway. And I think she gave a pretty neat response.

Also, try to get a new habit. Wear a string bracelet around your wrist and mess around with that when you're thinking instead. Gently tap your legs to a rhythm or something. But even though it was suggested to tap in that link, don't. You'll bother a whole lot of people around you and they'll get really annoyed with you, thus discouraging you from tapping, which might discourage you from stopping th habit of cracking your knuckles.

Anywhos, that's the best answer I can give you...
