10 Struggles of Dating a Quiet Guy

Quiet guys are just as adequate as extroverted guys, maybe even more so because they may not be as cocky or rude and could be better listeners, but there are definitely some downsides to dating the quiet guy. 10. Always having to make the first move to get anything started. This can sometimes be enlightening because the guy isn’t required to make the first move, but when it happens every single time it gets annoying. And when he doesn’t understand your hints, its even more annoying. 9. Whenever you talk to one another, it’s usually a one sided conversation. You either find yourself asking all of the questions and not getting any questions in return or talking about yourself constantly without much responsiveness. 8. It’s a bit awkward when you introduce him to other people because the conversation doesn’t go anywhere. When you’re alone together, you have to train him. 7. He never acts confident

Life Lessons I’ve Learned From Children

Children are the most innocent and pure human beings on Earth. They’re full of excitement, creative insight, knowledge and simplicity that an adult just can no longer exhibit as hard as we try. Working with children for years has taught me more lessons than my countless years of schooling has and ever could. They’re some of the wisest little humans with some of the best hearts to match.

Struggles Of Being A College Student With An Outgoing Personality But Anxious Mind

Outgoing people with anxious minds – or minds that overthink – tend to feel anxiety the most intensely, often because we don’t talk about it. And by “often” I mean never. Our anxiety is a contrast to our big, bold personalities. Strangers would never guess it. We never know when to fight or flight, and our self-angst is maxed out. We are often the life of the party but can also be mind-numbingly introspective, questioning everything. 12. Our day normally goes something like this: Anxiety: Okay but what if – Me: Homie we went over this a thousand times and we totally resolved it. Anxiety: Yeah but I’ve looked at it from a new angle and there are like 15 more reasons why you should worry about it. Me: ……go on. 11.

In Memory Of Alan Rickman: The 10 Greatest Moments From Harry Potter

Potterheads and muggles alike mourned the passing of the beloved Alan Rickman on December 14th.  In his memory here are 10, and yes it was nearly impossible to cut it down to 10, of the best moments from the Harry Potter series: 10) The moment Dobby became a free elf.  Even when you found yourself occasionally frustrated with Dobby’s antics, I bet this moment still brought tears to your eyes. 9) The sorting hat that started it all.  Even though you knew which house Harry was going to end up in you were still on the edge of your seat waiting for the hat to say it out loud. 8) If you want to know about werewolves turn to page 394.  In my opinion, for whatever reason, this is one of the most iconic quotes from the series. 7) The wisdom from Dumbledore throughout the entire series.  6) The amazing book of
