Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Smile when appropriate. Focus during uncomfortable situations. Have confidence in your appearance.

Answer: Smiling has a two sided effect: you look more pleasant, and you feel more pleasant. Smiling makes others more comfortable because it gives you the appearance of being comfortable. When you smile, you tighten the muscles in your cheek which decreases the flow of blood to the cavernous sinus. This cools the blood flowing into your brain which leads to pleasant feelings. If you notice yourself in a non-pleasant situation, remember to keep your face pleasant.  Simply placing the muscles of your face in the pattern of pleasant emotion elicits the feeling. In other words, facial expression influences your mood. Constantly fidgeting with your clothes or adjusting your hair every other minute will take away from your pleasant expression. People will read that you’re uncomfortable and begin to doubt your expressions. Carrying confidence to back up your pleasant expression will give you a demeanor that makes others comfortable and engaged.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider whether the person understands your needs and feelings. Evaluate how much time you have for yourself. Think about whether this person is the focus of your energy. Consider if you're allowed to experience and define your own feelings.

Answer: In any relationship, it's important your wants and needs are met to some degree. When you're a narcissistic extension, however, your wants and needs will consistently fall to the wayside.  Think about what you need and want and whether it's consistently sacrificed. Do you feel like the other person is willing or able to meet certain needs, or allow you to pursue your own interests? A narcissist will only be able to see their needs and wants, and often expect them to be met even if it's unreasonable or interferes with your own needs and wants. They are good at manipulating others, so if you confront them with your feelings, they're likely to get hostile instead of apologizing and changing. For example, you're extroverted by nature and like to go out on the weekends. Your boyfriend gets nervous at big parties, and expects you to stay by his side the whole time, even when he refuses to socialize with others. When you express the fact your need for socialization isn't met, he insists you instead meet his need for attention and reassurance. Rather than working towards a compromise, a narcissistic boyfriend will instead continue to put his needs first, regardless of whether it's reasonable. Being a narcissistic extension is draining. If you're in a relationship with a narcissist, they will take up a lot of your time and energy. Consider whether you have time for yourself. Are you allowed to pursue your own hobbies and interests? Do you have separate relationships with family members and friends? If not, you may be a narcissistic extension. A narcissist will not see you as a separate entity, with your own ideas and opinions. They will only see you as a reflection of them and their values. Therefore, you will not have a lot of energy to focus on anything but them.  A narcissist will constantly pressure you to make them happy and content. You will find yourself trying to meet unreasonable needs a lot, and many of your daily decisions will revolve around keeping the narcissist happy. If you consider your own feelings, you may feel guilt and shame. Narcissists are very good at guilt-tripping, and you may feel like a bad person if you take time for yourself on occasion. For narcissists, feelings are a competition. If you experience an emotion, it must be filtered through the narcissist. You may eventually start to feel you don't have permission to have certain feelings or emotions.  Narcissists like to control everything, including your feelings. They tend to take pleasure over making another person feel shame. You may eventually internalize the narcissist's put downs, and begin to feel shame over your basic wants and needs. You may also be unable to express hurt. If you say something like, "The way you were behaving last night hurt my feelings," the narcissist will not apologize. Instead, they will chastise you for having felt that way or insist your feelings are invalid.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Develop a good daily routine. Encourage your dog to use the same spot every time you take him outside. Monitor your dog at all times. Stop your dog from eliminating inside the house by clapping. Clean up messes as soon as they happen. Praise your dog when he eliminates outside. Ask a neighbor or friend to take your dog outside when you will be gone for long periods.

Answer:
Having a solid daily routine may help your dog to stop eliminating inside the house. Make sure that you feed your dog at the same times every day and take your dog outside at the same times every day. Your dog should be allowed to go outside to eliminate at least four times per day. If your dog’s feeding and outside times have become erratic, decide on a schedule that will work for you and stick to it. A sample schedule for feeding and taking your dog out might be something like:  6:00am: let Fido outside 7:00am: feed Fido breakfast 7:30am: let Fido outside 12:00pm: let Fido outside 5:00pm: take Fido for a walk 7:00pm: feed Fido dinner 7:30pm: let Fido outside In addition to keeping a steady routine for taking your dog outside, taking him to the same spot every time may also help you to housebreak your dog. Use an encouraging phrase such as “go potty” to let your dog know what you want him to do when you get to that spot. The repetition of going to the same place and hearing the same words will help your dog understand what you want from him. Remember to offer your dog lots of praise after he goes to the bathroom outside. Watching your dog for signs that he might be about to urinate or defecate in the house can help you to housebreak him. If your dog is prone to eliminating inside the house, find a way to keep him in your sight at all times. Monitoring your dog’s whereabouts will help you to prevent him from eliminating inside the house.  Try keeping your dog on a six foot long leash that is attached to you.  This will prevent him from going off to another room to eliminate and it will also help you to observe his behavior and determine when he needs to go.  If you cannot keep an eye on your dog during the day, you can use a crate or baby gate to confine your dog to a small area for short periods of time (less than 4 hours). As soon as you notice that your dog is getting ready to urinate or defecate, get his attention by clapping your hands together loudly. Do not yell at your dog or use physical punishment to change his behavior. Just clap your hands to get his attention and then lead or carry him outside right away. Be kind and encouraging to your dog as you lead him outside. If you yell or act like you are angry with him, he may begin to associate going outside with punishment. The smell of a prior mess can prompt your dog to want to eliminate in the same place again. The best way to prevent your dog from soiling an area again is to clean up his messes right away by using an enzymatic cleaner made especially for cleaning up pet messes. Don’t yell or punish your dog for going inside the house. It will not do anything to discourage him and it may even lead to more accidents by increasing his fear and anxiety. Positive reinforcement is the best way to teach your dog a new behavior. Make sure that you reward your dog with lots of praise after he urinates or defecates outside. You can also reward your dog for eliminating outside by giving him treats, playtime, or a walk. To make sure that your dog does not have to hold it for long periods of time, ask a friend or neighbor to come by and take your dog out for you if you will be gone for a long period of time. Forcing your dog to stay in the house for several hours will lead to eliminating inside the house because he will not be able to hold it for that long. If you don’t know anyone who is willing or able to take your dog out for you during long periods away, consider hiring a pet sitter to stop by.
