Basically i need to find a side job i can work three days a week that won't be too hard or overwhelming. I currently live with my boyfriend and he's just too negative and brings me down.i don't feel like myself anymore. I'm a preschool teacher assistant and i only make 10 an hour and im worried about being able to afford living on my own. what job can i get on the side that's not too stressful or demanding that would let me work three days a week?

It’s always heartwarming to hear people who want to start earning their own money because it gives you full control of your life. Don’t let anyone bring you down, life is too short for that. I would advice:
• Find opportunities to offer tuition to parents with children who need to improve their grades.
• There’s always a job to take care of preschoolers so think about your own place where single moms/working mothers can leave the children with you for a whole day for a fee. It won’t be easy at the beginning but worth it in the long run. In any case, you’ve a head start as a preschool teacher assistant.
Buy affordable businesses that are already up and running. Due to many reasons people are always offering businesses for sale online. Visit business for sale sites like https://www.businessbroker.net, https://exitadviser.com and https://wwwbizbysell.com and many more, find an affordable business that you can do. They usually offer all the information you need to complete a sale, best practices, what to avoid, legal and tax matters etc. It might sound complicated but actually quite easy. Some jobs can actually be run as side jobs or have others running them as you do other duties. Soon you could have a different purpose, financially sound and a new outlook of things.
Also, you could try jobs like waiter, mall/gas attendant etc. that usually open up and get a side job that works. So many directions to look into.

I'm 20/f. I have social anxiety, so whenever I meet new people my voice shakes and I feel so nervous. This is embarrassing because I want to appear like a strong, confident person but instead I feel like I'm timid or weak. I always worry about what people's first impressions of me are. How can I be more relaxed when meeting new people? (link)

I also had social anxiety. I felt I had so much to share even in school but once I stood up my voice and sweaty palms couldn’t let me. However, I started being around friends who didn’t make me apprehensive and slowly and with them I started meeting new people and learning the experiential art of making friends and dealing with social anxiety. I also used some tabs known as Propranolol to cool me off and slow my heart rate to allow me to present in class before tens of students, in church etc. Can’t remember being so nervous as I was before. Start by taking big deep breaths every time you feel nervous and be silent for a few seconds to allow your mind and voice to move in tandem. Then start talking slowly and gain confidence. When meeting new people, find a person who looks least intimidating, like a motherly face, young person, grandpa etc. and talk to them. Soon you will gain confidence and immerse yourself into the environment.

In our country, families are very close knit and live in the same house. I wasn’t expecting to get scolded by my grandma for telling my mom that she let my cousin(who has stolen a lot of money and stuff from us and ran away multiple times) sleep in our living room while she was guarding me for the night while my mom was away from town. I just agreed with her, because I don’t have much of a choice either and my cousin might have been swarmed by mosquitoes in his bedroom. But I went to my mom’s bedroom because I really didn’t feel safe with him. She specifically told me that because of what i told my mom.things have changed for my grandma and my mom. I think you guys can tell that I dislike this cousin of mine. In between of the pandemic, he has been in and out of the house and has been sleeping over at his friends. My issue with him is not because of our rough past childhood (i can get past that) but it’s that I can’t believe that he still gets away with what he does every single time. If he was a girl, he would’ve have been isolated from social life a long time ago. Boys always get a free pass in our household because “that’s just the way they are”.
My mom isn’t a perfect person. She’s very organized to the point where she ends up offending and driving people to insanity around her (mostly us). She has OCD and it takes a toll on her when she does not get things her way. I know a thing or two about my grandmom and my mom’s relationship. They have a pretty rough relationship because of my grandma’s odd parenting. She never let my mom open up to her and tell her the things that my mom needed to hear when she was very young (adolescence, relationships, marriage). I believe this was the reason why mom got mixed up with my physically abusive father and stood silence for 10 years of their marriage.
I’m really sad to see things go this far. It’s so odd that what it took to start was that I told my mom that my cousin slept in our living room. I think it’s my fault :( (link)

Sorry to hear about this! It’s definitely not your fault and you should avoid taking a fall for other people’s pleasure and happiness. If you believe you caused the relationship between and mother and daughter to wane you can definitely do something about it. Find ways of bringing them together without thinking much about the cousin you don’t like. Make them meals, talk positive things about your mother to your grandma and to your mother about your grandma. Don’t isolate yourself from them. Soon, by interacting with your grandmother and sharing as much as you can, you will find the space and means to let her know you’re sorry if you did something you shouldn’t have and mend the broken relationship. Soon you will be happy together again. Just don’t keep away or continue fighting them even when dared to. Show love, humility and sincerity and it will pay off.
