I recently overhauled a dryer we have had for about 20 years (due to frayed belt).

I removed about a chihuahua’s-equivalent of old lint from around where the blower is.

I second this message.

Don’t be such a pussy

Why are your students coming to you for dating advice

These aren't your friends. These are your abusers

I thought I was lol

I do consider myself friendly but recently I've been told I come off as cold which was a huge surprise to me. I don't want to be fake but I don't want to stay like this.

I have found (at work at least) a good starting point can be to compliment people. If you notice something different (hair done differently, interesting jewellery, nice jumper, etc.), comment on it. Whether you like it or not is essentially beside the point; if it's different, interesting, or you haven't seen it before, tell them you like it or its interesting

The only way is to get new friends.

Make yourself less available. Get busier. Don't accept all their invites to hang out.

But most importantly, hold your ground when they get upset with you for not spending time with them.

Body language. Turn towards them, don't cross your arms, look at them in the eye, have a firm and confident smile.

Because then you don't have to adjust at all? It just kind of happens. And you might even form some new healthier morning habits. Idk, just something I'm trying this year.

No. It literally takes your body 3-5 days to adjust. Why spread it out over 100-180?

Be an active listener. Ask questions, find a topic they are interested in, then listen intently, paraphrase them, and ask more questions in a genuine attempt to understand them, understand why they care about the topic, and to gain a better understanding of the topic yourself. Resist the urge to make the conversation about yourself or share your own examples/stories. If they're not an entirely self-centered person they will naturally show an interest in you in response to you acting this way.

Ask good questions and genuinely care what they say

Fed up of DST stealing an extra hour from you.

Just steal 5 minutes from yourself every week...

Walk away. Say nothing.

I stopped talking to my abusive friends a few years ago and I'm the happiest I've been in about 20 years. Hell is other people.

There are great people out there. Your crap friends are holding you back from meeting them.

To actually be friendly and interested in other people.
