I am a shy person, a typical introvert and my Phd advisor called me it comes across as stand offish, arrogant.......?
I am a shy person, a typical introvert and my Phd advisor called me it comes across as stand offish, arrogant. She told me have a persona so that I can act confident. This made me feel so insecure. My response was thank you for your suggestion, maybe I should. This made me feel so inferior. I don't want to act like someone else just for the sake of being seen nice. I am a nice person if people invest sometime to get to know me.. Just want to be who I am. What would have been a better response?

1 AnswerCommuting8 years agoHorse spooked and threw me, while the teacher was holding her. I have some injuries, friends tell me to sue?
It was my 3rd lesson. Horse spooked, when the farm dog entered the practice area and got a bucket and threw it, right after that the horse threw me, while the teacher was holding her. I have some injuries such as back pain, serious shoulder/ neck pain and sore hips. My friends tell me to sue because the teacher was negligent, that she should have removed anything unfamiliar from the practice area as you are a beginner. After I got up I wanted to ride the horse again and I did (although, it was very difficult for me I wanted to cry, I guess because I was shocked). I scheduled another lesson but when I got home I started to replay what happened over and over again and now I am so scared to go and take more lessons even get on to the horse. My question is do you think I should sue them? Do you think I have a right to do that? I don't know just help me please. I don't want anyone to go through this psychological trauma and get afraid of riding like I do :(( Suggestions please. Thanks
1 AnswerOther - Outdoor Recreation8 years ago3 close friends: 2 of us bought something but she goes behind my back and gives the gift as if she bought it.?
We are three close friends. 2 of us bought something (a special and expensive fruit from Europe, we bought approximately 6 pounds) together and discussed to divide it equally to 3 parts. However, today I learned that she goes behind my back and tells our other friend ( like a surprise) that she thought of her and got this for her. I am so pissed, what should I do? Do you think I should talk with the other friend or should I confront the one, who did it? I am terrible at confrontation :(

2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)8 years agotoyota rav4 does not start in the rain?
Hi all,
My RAV4 1998 L, does not start in the rain. I searched for it and took it to a mechanic. I was told (and I read) that the spark plugs and wires need to be replaced. I said OK. My mechanic changed it and now it does not start at all. I was told that it might be the ignition coil.
I cannot try to find the problem myself as I do not have a backup car and cannot afford "not finding the problem for a while".
The cost keeps going up. Any similar experience? Any suggestion?

2 AnswersOther - Advertising & Marketing9 years agoHow can I get a reserved parking spot from my property management? (in Pittsburgh/Walnut capital)?
When the capital management showed me the apartment they showed the reserved parking area, which is indoor and safe. After I rented the apartment and request a reserved parking spot, I was told that there is a waiting list. I asked them to add me to the waiting list and let me know when a spot is available. Although they did not promise a spot on the lease, they showed and told that there is a reserved parking spot in the building. Can I legally do anything to expedite them to give me a spot in the parking area? I really need that indoor spot.
