Problem: Article: If you start to think thoughts like “I’m not good enough,” or “There’s something wrong with me,” say to yourself, “Stop! These are not productive thoughts, and I have the power to change my mindset.” The first step to being confident in social situations is to change the thought patterns that give rise to insecurity.  Harsh self-criticism is usually based on distorted thinking. Stop beating yourself up, remain objective, and challenge distorted thoughts. Don't dwell on past relationships or think of them as "failures." Accept the fact that you can't change the past. Instead, move on and seize opportunities to become a more fulfilled and fruitful person. You don’t have to be perfect to form new platonic or romantic relationships. In fact, being open and honest about vulnerabilities is how people bond with each other. Accept your imperfections, work on what you can change, and show yourself some compassion. Try not to fear being rejected. If things don’t work out with a potential friend or partner, don’t assume that it’s your fault or there’s something wrong with you. Sometimes people are incompatible, have a misunderstanding, or are just in a bad mood. It might feel stressful and risky, but you have to meet and interact with people in order to curb loneliness. Put yourself out there and make connections with new people. With each baby step, you’ll get a little more comfortable in your own skin. Challenge yourself to try new things, to talk to new people, and to engage in unfamiliar situations. If your coworkers invite you out after work, take them up on their offer. If you’re in line at the store, strike up conversation with the person next to you or with the cashier. If you’re anxious about awkward silences or not knowing what to say, just ask questions. Most people like talking about themselves, so asking questions is a good way to get a conversation flowing.  You could ask someone “What do you do for work,” or “Have you seen any good movies lately?” If you’re at a party, you could ask, “So how do you know the host?” While waiting for class to start, you could ask the person next to you, “How about that pop quiz yesterday? It really pulled the rug right out from under me!” Set reasonable expectations, and work on improving your social confidence one step at a time. For instance, you could start by smiling and waving at a neighbor while walking down the street.   The next time you see your neighbor, you could introduce yourself and take a minute to chat. You could talk about the neighborhood, say how cute their dog is, or compliment their garden. As you become friendly, you could invite them over for coffee or tea
Summary: Redirect negative, critical thoughts. Work on making yourself vulnerable. Take healthy social risks. Spur conversations by asking questions. Build your confidence in social settings gradually.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Try to use as smooth a surface as you can and work any wrinkles or bunches out.  Using a bumpy or uneven surface won't let you get the best folds. Place your sweater with the front facing upwards.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Carefully read the contract and determine whether all of elements required under state law are present in the contract. If a seller fails to include a required element, in some states buyers may have the option to terminate the contract. The clause will contain instructions for rescinding the contract and state the time in which you have to do so. If still within the time specified by the clause, follow the instructions provided in the contract on how to rescind the contract. States may have specific rules about how to rescind a contract, which may include providing written notice. If you contract has a rescission clause, you will be required to provide written notice of your decision to rescind. This written documentation may include a signed rescission form, previously provided to you or a simple letter stating that you are rescinding the contract. You may also be required to provide the following information:  The name, address, and phone number of the seller or his or her attorney. A description of the contract for deed, including the names of the parties. A description of the property. A statement of rescission, including when the contract will be rescinded and the basis for the rescission. A list of all payments made under the contract. If your contract does not contain a rescission clause, review your state’s statutes to see if a rescission period may apply. Some state and federal laws require that certain contracts allow for rescission within a specific period, usually three (3) to ten (10) days after entering into the contract. There are limited circumstances, under which a party can terminate a contract. These remedies are not specific to contracts for deed, however some states allow general contract remedies to apply to contracts for deed. A buyer may be able to terminate a contract for deed for the following reasons:   Fraud and misrepresentation. You may be able to cancel the contract if you can show that the seller lied about the condition of the property, and that lie induced you to enter into the contract.  Breach of contract by the other party. If one party knowingly fails to comply with the terms of the contract, the other party may terminate the contract. A breaching party has no right to complain that the other has ended the contract, which he or she breached.   Impossibility. If a party to a contract is unable to perform his or her obligations due to the impossibility of such performance, he or she may have a legal right to terminate the contract. The reason for the impossibility of performance must not be the fault of the party who finds it impossible to perform. It must be either the fault of the other party or the result of an “act of God” or act of nature, such as a hurricane or tornado.  For example, if a tornado damages the property beyond repair before you have take possession of it, you may be able to legally cancel the contract for the deed.   Failure to hold unencumbered title. If a seller has an improper lien, mortgage or other encumbrance on the property, some states do not allow a seller to execute a contract for deed on the property. You should check your state laws to see whether it prohibits an encumbered property from being the subject of contract for deed. If it does, you should run a title check on the property in question to see whether there are any liens on the property. If so, you may have a legal basis to terminate the contract.
Summary:
Determine whether the contract meets minimum state requirements. Review the contract for a rescission or cancellation clause. Provide written notice. Determine if you have any legal right to terminate the contract.
