In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Recovering from gaslighting will be much easier if you have a support team to assist you. Therapists and counselors are an important part of your support team because they can help you recover from gaslighting by supporting you and listening to you. They can also help you address the depression, anxiety, and other stress you may be feeling as a result of being gaslighted.  For example, if the gaslighting happened during a long-term relationship, seeking professional help can assist you in identifying and dealing with effects of the abuse. Even if it was a short-lived relationship, adding a professional to your support team can help teach you coping strategies. Talk to a counselor about what you have been through. You can ask your physician, human resources representative, or school counselor for a referral to a counselor. If you are experiencing anxiety or depressive symptoms or other significant problems coping, a counselor can discuss treatment options with you. When someone gaslights you, they often isolate you from other people in your life that care about you. They convince you that they are the only person that knows what is right for you. Rebuilding your relationship with family, friends, and other people in your life and relying on them as a part of your support team will help you recover from gaslighting.  Ask someone close to you to just spend time with you. You all don’t have to go anywhere or do anything. Try saying, “Can we spend a little time together just chilling?” Accept their invitations when friends and family members ask you to go places with them. Start out spending small amounts of time together. For example, go for a frozen yogurt or a cup of coffee. One way to recover from gaslighting is to connect with people that have been through similar experiences. Hearing their stories and how they recovered from gaslighting can provide you with strategies and tips that will help you overcome it as well. Being a part of a support group can also help boost your self-esteem from the positive interactions and create new social relationships for you.  Check with organizations in your community for victims of domestic abuse, your religious leader, or a mental health professional for suggestions on finding a support group near you. Consider joining an online forum or support group if you aren’t able to attend an in-person support group.
Summary: Seek professional help. Rely on a family and friends. Join a support group.

If the two of you have already become physically intimate, this is less of a concern. But if you are on a first date or taking things slowly, respect her personal space and body. Don’t spoil the mood by rushing or forcing physical contact. Wait until the two of you have both grown comfortable with small touches before suggesting something as involved as braiding her hair.  How long this takes will depend on the woman in question. She may welcome physical signs of affection right away, or she may need several dates before she feels like she can trust you. However long it takes, don’t force the issue. Rushing physical intimacy before she’s ready is self-defeating. Asking her if she’d like you to braid her hair will probably come across as a weird idea if the two of you haven’t made any sort of physical contact, so set some precedent. When you’re with her, touch her “by chance” or with polite, innocent gestures. Use these moments to judge how comfortable she feels with you. For example, you could:  Share an armrest with her in a movie theater so your arms rest against each other. Tap her arm to direct her attention to something you’re pointing out. Lightly touch her shoulder to announce your presence if she doesn’t see you coming. When you start off making small incidental touches, aim for parts of her body that aren’t too personal, like her hand, arm, or back. Of course, you’re not entitled to touch any part of her unless she’s okay with it, but consider these areas as an innocent place to start trying. As long as she’s fine with it, continue finding excuses to make contact there so she grows accustomed to it without feeling threatened, like:  Emphasizing a point you’re making in your conversation by touching her hand. Guiding her through doors with your hand in the small of her back. Cupping her elbow to let her know you’re about to turn left or right as you walk together. Make physicality a part of your date right from the get-go. Don’t put if off, because this will only build it up into something “big” that will feel more awkward once you do start trying. Start testing the waters at the very start of your first date so touching each other feels perfectly natural.  Briefly take her hand between yours as part of your greeting. Guide her by the elbow for a moment once you start walking. Offer your hand to help her out of the car.

One-sentence summary -- Ease into it. Start with small touches. Stick to neutral areas at first. Start early.

Problem: Article: Hydrophobic coating makes water bead up and roll off your windows so you can see better during bad weather. Squeeze 2–3 dime-sized drops of the cleaner onto a foam applicator and spread it evenly across the surface with your finger. If you don’t have a foam applicator, you can also use a short-pile microfiber cloth instead. You can buy hydrophobic coating and foam applicators from an automotive supply store. Try to find a starter kit that has both items if you’re able to. Place the foam applicator against the top of the window and work toward the bottom. Move the applicator in tight, overlapping circles across the entire surface of the window so it has even coverage. If you notice that the hydrophobic coating isn’t leaving any residue on the windshield, then put another 1–2 drops on the applicator before starting again. You do not need to apply a hydrophobic coating to your vehicle, but it offers an extra layer of protection so the glass is less likely to get damaged. Leave the coating on your window so it has time to dry completely. While it dries, apply the coating to your other windows so you can finish faster. Look closely at the coating to make sure it leaves a hazy appearance on your window, which means that the coating has set completely. Spray the glass with your automotive glass cleaner so it has even coverage on the surface. Use the long-pile cloth so you can lift up the most residue from the glass. Work in long back and forth strokes to lift up the coating and clean off the glass until it’s clear. Repeat the process on the rest of your windows. Apply slight pressure while you’re wiping the coating off so it lifts up easier.
Summary:
Wet a foam applicator pad with 2–3 squirts of hydrophobic coating. Apply the hydrophobic coating to 1 window at a time using circular motions. Let the coating dry for 5–10 minutes until it forms a hazy layer. Wipe off the coating with your glass cleaner and a long-pile microfiber towel.
