In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you can set boundaries, you have to identify exactly what you are feeling.  You can become so overwhelmed by the other person's actions that you are not sure how you feel. The two most common emotions you may be feeling are discomfort or resentment.  How do you feel when the person intrudes on your time or your space? How do you feel when you are around the person, but you would rather not be? Are there specific actions (e.g showing up uninvited, calling late at night, etc.) that cause these feelings? Once you have identified your specific feelings regarding the clingy person, you can develop the boundaries that you need to set. The boundaries should be specific to the actions of the person.  For example, if the person calls you excessively or late at night, your boundary may be to stop answering phone calls or not answering phone calls after a certain time. Set realistic boundaries that you will actually follow through with.  Do not say that you will never talk to a person again if you know that you are not ready to take that step. Create consequences for your boundaries as well.  If the person does not do ____, what will you do? Communicate your boundaries to the other person. Do not talk to the person when you are angry or annoyed.  Be calm and  assertive as you set your boundaries. Tell the other person that you are setting the boundaries as a way to take care of yourself, not to be rude or harmful.  If you are nervous about talking to the other person, write down your boundaries so that you do not forget them during the conversation. For example, you might decide to say something like, “Sara, you know that I care about you and our friendship, and I always want to be honest with you. Lately, I have felt smothered because you call me eight times per day, so I’d like to set a boundary at only one phone call per day." You can also practice the conversation with a friend or family member that you trust. Have your practice partner respond as the clingy person would. When you set boundaries, you are changing the nature of the relationship with the other person. The other person will probably not like what you are doing and may become angry. Recognize that the anger is not your responsibility, but the other person's responsibility.  Do not let the other person's anger change the boundaries you have set. Continue on the path you are on. Allow the person to be angry and do not try to argue with them.  For example, if the person tells you that you are being mean, rude, or selfish, do not try to explain to them how you are not any of those things. You will not be able to have a constructive conversation with a person when anger is involved.
Summary: Acknowledge your feelings. Decide the boundaries that need to be set. Be direct. Expect the other person to be angry.

Look at random pictures of yourself. Is there a certain pose you tend to stand in? Is there an angle that looks best on you?  Try to spot patterns. Which angles, smiles, positioning looks best? Replicate it the next time your photo is taken. Models and professional photographers often use very precise angles. They study what works for a particular person in photographs and what doesn't. Don't just shoot randomly. It's rarely a good choice to face the camera straight on, unless you have a large nose.  Turn your head to a three-quarter position or a 45-degree angle. This will give your features more depth. If you have a very large nose, though, you might want to look at the camera straight on, as that pose will reduce the size of your nose in pictures. Celebrities have mastered the art of looking slimmer through a red-carpet pose. This look creates a diagonal line and elongates the body.  To replicate this, put one hand on your hip and angle your body to the side. Now, turn your head towards the camera. Celebrities will do this pose two ways. Either they will put their left hand on their hip and left leg out, or they will put the right leg out with both hands on their hips. Some experts say this pose will give you an automatic “tummy tuck” in pictures. It's an immediate slimming effect. Facing straight forward makes the body look wider. It is more flattering if you are photographed with a camera positioned above you. This will create a slimming effect, and it will give the illusion that your eyes are bigger.  If the person holding the camera is shorter than you are, sit down when they take the photo to create the downward angle. If you're taking a selfie, hold the camera slightly above your head, and tilt it at a downward angle. If someone (say a child wielding a camera) shoots you from below, you'll look overweight and like you have a major double chin (even if you really don't). That's almost no one's most flattering angle. ” Most people have a better side, especially of their face. Few people's faces are exactly symmetrical. The differences often derive from the side of the face a person sleeps on or which side is exposed more to the sun.  Figure out which side of your face looks younger and photographs better. Do this by studying many photos of yourself. Then try to position your face in photos to highlight your better side. The side of your face that is stronger, more structured, and more defined is usually the side that is “best.”  One study found that most people's left sides are their “best side.” Research has found that highlighting the left cheek creates a more positive emotional response in surveys.

One-sentence summary -- Study past photos. Strike the right facial angle. Use the red carpet pose. Position the camera above you. Figure out your “best side.

Problem: Article: Make a list of questions beforehand to ask when you inspect the equipment or before you even go to look at it. Here’s a list of questions you might want to ask:  Does the machine run? How long have you had this? How often has it been used? Why are you selling it? Is it missing any parts? Does it require any maintenance? How much did you pay for it? In what year? Where did you get it? Turn on and try out every piece of equipment before you buy it. If a treadmill or a stationary bike has an emergency stop button, make sure that it works. Try a variety of speeds on treadmills and weights on other fitness equipment. Unplug and plug everything on every piece of equipment. Make sure that there are no frayed wires, rusty gears, or excessively worn pieces of the equipment you’re buying. Gentle wear and tear is okay, but keep an eye out for anything that looks as though it’s about to break. If anything needs to be replaced, see how much the replacement would cost and if it would need professional maintenance.
Summary:
Ask the seller questions about the equipment. Test out all the elements of the equipment before you buy it. Inspect the outside and inside of all equipment.
