Q: If you're playing on an outdoor sand pit, your poles should be in the middle of the court. Mark the spot for a volleyball pole on both sides of the court with stakes or another small object.  If you're playing on an open field, the length should be about 60 feet (18 m) and the width should be 30 feet (9.1 m). Place the volleyball poles in the middle on each side. Set up your volleyball net on level ground to prevent tripping or field injuries Position the net so that it completely spans across the middle of the court. Lay your posts down on each side of the net to set up while you work. Keep in mind that every outdoor volleyball net is different—read the specific instructions while you work to make sure you set it up correctly. Inspect each post for a button or switch that allows you to raise or lower its height. Adjust both post's heights to the desired length depending on your preference or one of the following regulation volleyball net heights.  Co-ed, standing disabled, or men's volleyball: 7 ft 11 inches (2.41 meters). Women's volleyball: 7 ft 4 inches (2.23 meters) Sitting or wheelchair volleyball: 4 ft 11 inches (1.5 meters) Senior volleyball: 7 ft 2 inches (2.1 meters) Children's volleyball: 6 ft 6 inches (1.98 meters) -7 ft 4 inches (2.23 meters) Open the top of the swivel clip and hook it through the top net hook. Extend the guidelines connected to the clip out out and away from the field, laying each guidelines about 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) apart. The swivel clip is the metallic hook attached to the guylines, which should be 2 strong and thick ropes. Each guyline should have a loop around the end. Insert the ground stakes through the guyline's end loops and into the dirt using your hands or a mallet. Insert the ground stakes at an angle, towards the court, for added support. Grab the pole and position it upright, using the guylines as support. If the pole falls over or the lines go slack, remove the ground stakes and reposition them further away from the post. To further support the posts and keep them upright during the game, pull down on each guylines until they tighten.
A: Measure and mark the spot for your volleyball poles. Unroll the net in the middle of the court. Adjust the post height to the desired setting. Connect the swivel clip and extend the guylines. Dig the ground stakes through the guyline. Set the pole upright.

Article: Think back over your relationship and try to identify whether there has been a lack of conscience or guilt on your friend's part. To help clear your thoughts, write down the facts and your feelings for each moment when you felt wronged. There may be trends or correlations.

But the sooner you accept the reality of the situation, the sooner you can address it honestly.  You can rightly feel upset if you have been abused and manipulated. But don't feel ashamed — many sociopaths are expert abusers and manipulators and it has nothing to do with you. You are/were a means to an end for them. Your friend may not be a "friend" in the normal sense. It's not entirely clear whether a true sociopath can ever really be a friend — some experts say they can't truly experience emotions like caring, while others disagree. You'll have to work out the unique circumstances of your friend and your friendship. Someone who is a true sociopath will not allow their reputation to be discredited and they will do whatever is possible to protect their reputation. Therefore, it is best to avoid accusing them of things or trying to justify your reason for ending the relationship. Instead, just end it. Sociopaths may become verbally aggressive when their integrity is questioned, so it is best to avoid confrontation. A sociopath may seek to make you feel sorry for them as a means to regain power and maintain their image. If you feel sorry for questioning them, they consider this a victory rather than caring about the reasons for your doubt.
