'Step by step, jennalee. Don't expect the world of yourself on Day One. Start small and go from there. Confidence will compound on itself and the first good experience feeds into making the next...
You have a bigger problem here and everything I'm about to say is going to sound really mean. No one, least of all you, can help you when you won't help yourself. You're right that any...
It is bullcrap, but maybe not for the reasons you think. I love to work. I love the work I do, I love feeling accomplished when I get something done and see the difference it makes. I love...
Literally read my mind. It wasn't enough of a pet peeve to mention, but since you did! I own a private business and call all of the shots. I've worked for Corporations in the past, which is...
You seem to be making wild assumptions here, Light. I'm seeing two: The prices of housing in Australia and the TPP. First, regarding the TPP: We don't know what's in it. The text of the deal must...
Perhaps you should look at it from a perspective of not the work you do but what you're doing the work for. Doing IT like I do isn't super exciting in and of itself. I wouldn't even say I enjoy...
Hello, jennalee. First, gonna say that I absolutely adore your avatar. Very pretty art, my props to the artist behind it! Next, this thread caught my attention because social anxiety (and...
Saying Socialism is the solution to youth not being able to be entirely independent of their family is a massive disconnect in the scale of your problems. If you want the youth to be more...
I'm going to keep this relatively simple but it might be hard to hear. You've got two men who are involved with you to some degree or another, knowing there's someone else in the picture, and...
Sounds like you've got a lot going on here, Earth Goddess. If I might: Shotgunning here in the advice board may not be the best approach. Perhaps you need to lay out these core challenges you've...
It'd could be entirely natural, they could be manic-depressive symptoms, definitely a need to know more situation. That or go straight to a doctor to ask. That's probably the best option either...
DaphneDelRey knows what she's talking about. She's another example of the people it can really be the right call for. Don't let yourself be controlled. No good parent needs to control you. I...
Yes, you can boot from the Windows CD to launch the recovery console. From there you can run chkdsk. I can provide the appropriate commands. Exactly what operating system are you? XP? Seven?
I'm helping someone else through the very same thing. This is an incredibly difficult thing for a lot of young people, though often it really is the best solution. You can't control others and...
Hey, ForestPaix, did you still need some help?
Apparently you're in good company. I'm a published writer (small things, not novels) and write consistently. Welcome to the board.
Means it can't boot to your selected boot device. This particular error specifies that it can find the boot device--the hard drive, no doubt--but it can't mount it. Depending on the age of the device...
I went through the same thing. You can't change it. That'd require changing how your mother and father behave, something you have no control over. So you need to minimize your exposure. You also...
My tl;dr skills were never that great. Luckily, niss picked up the slack for me.
Well that provided a breadth of information, thismustbetheplace. I'm going to be completely straight with you so please pardon my forwardness. There are two conclusions I'm going to draw and go...
Even if you lied and jumped through all of these hoops, the truth would come out eventually. You obviously don't fit the exact mold of perfection that these people want for your fiance. That's...
I'm just spitting balling for the most part, Gossip. I'm sure if you take that general attitude, think on it some, you can come up with something that makes more sense in the context of your budding...
Could always complain that a parent/other relative keeps bugging you about when you're going to put yourself out there and get a boyfriend, and respond with how they just don't understand that...
At the very least, Gossip Goat, he seems to be interested in getting to know you better! If I take everything you've said as a given, he probably has a thing for you. A crush, maybe something more,...
You're too kind, caramel_choctop.
There's a particular museum in Rome--I forget the name, but it's a big one--that has a miniature recreation of Ancient Rome in the form of a massive model. For some reason it's usually the least...
Regardless of the label on the behavior it definitely wasn't good for you. I was going to suggest expressing yourself in some way, such as a recording or writing, but Karma beat me to the punch. She...
fireheart96 Hahaha. Go easy on the guy, he may genuinely have feelings for you! Good to hear you had a good day, that oddity aside! I identify as asexual myself, I can relate on that front as...
I'm sure there are plenty of people who'd like to talk to you about this, Ronikinz, but you might want to give us more than a thread title. What's up? Someone here might be able to help.
(strayfire obviously knows you better, I leave you in his capable hands!)
It is scary. I feel for you, I really do. That's why I'm posting here. I'm just hoping that the things I'm bringing up make you feel a bit more directed. I can't tell you to be motivated,...
Which is why you're going to want to find people to live with. You don't seem to have the means to support yourself anymore and without a family to fall back on you're going to need to consider other...
Looks like it's time to start finding a new place to live. Building a support network is really just a matter of having friends. You'll eventually have some that can help out even in tight...
It sounds like you need some help, dude. First of all, the depression is a big problem in all of this. It's killing your self-worth and motivation. Believe it or not a simple Google search gives...
That's not a lot of information to go on! I'm terribly sorry about your situation, let me start with that. That said, it looks like you need to start making decisions. Where are you living? At...
I doubt that anything I say is going to make you feel better. My words can't magically solve your or anyone else's problems. But this is something I have a lot of experience with, both with others...
lirica There are people that have it far worse than you, you're right. But that doesn't invalidate your own problems or struggles. At the very least I hope you have someone close and important...
Just as others have mention, there are still options to help mitigate it all. Delegation, as mentioned, is a big one! At the same time you've now stumbled upon a community of adults from all walks...
There absolutely is more to life, Jenny. I'm going to guess that's your name! I'm going to respect you and be honest here: With that many children you're lucky you can post here without kissing a...
You've put yourself into an incredibly challenging situation, doubly so when you obviously don't like children. Either way, welcome aboard. At the very least don't feel guilty for being yourself....
Feel free! I'll be on it sometime later in the day. I'm posting here in-between building a new backup solution at work.
If you don't have any files on your computer that you care about, you probably don't need to backup anything. I'd have to remote into your computer to check things like what your anti-virus is and...
Z52J? ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Troubleshooting Z52J Look into these options. They don't take long, but you do lose everything currently on your machine. It is still, likely, the most...
What kind of computer do you have? Chances are it's a laptop, prebuilt from somewhere like Acer, Toshiba, HP, Dell, somewhere. Can I get an exact model? I can see what restoration options you have.
I happen to be a systems administrator, you're in luck. This things sounds like its problems have problems. Normally I'd recommend running anti-virus scans like it's your sole purpose in life but...
lirica I don't figure people come to the Advice Center expecting generic responses! I'm glad I was able to help some. Tragically, I'm slightly more persistent than that. Even if nothing I...
Maybe the pain will fade. Maybe it won't. Maybe you'll find the success and independence you fear you won't. Maybe you won't. You've made my point for me: You don't know. Of course, your...
Sadly, you can't live her life for her. Nor are you required to force yourself to do things with her you don't want to, even talking to her. Possibly the best thing you can do, until she's ready...
Given that this is a physical problem, you're going to want to speak to a doctor. Although it may have healed from your previous injury that doesn't mean general, day-to-day activities aren't hurting...
I'm not sure if English is your first language, but I'm actually having trouble understanding what it is you'd like input on. Could you try to rephrase your issue? Judging by the lack of responses in...'
