Oh No, not another pycho thread, just as well Foreigners are all " experts ".
. Many guys here will help you.BTW, I saw your picture, I think you are my friend
!Part of today's business life is achieving balance. Before the InterNet, if you remember it, work stayed at work and pleasure stayed at home.
With the ubiquitous smart handset, work intrudes every waking, and sometimes sleeping, moment of the day. You can't get away from 'it'. Learn not to answer work related messages or calls outside work hours.
Having a job you don't enjoy is a big downer, too. I have been lucky in getting jobs I enjoyed, makes the day go faster.
Another thing - what is your body language saying about you? On the dating web sites I moderate you see women radiating unhappiness, or signalling 'stay away'. Crossed arms is a 'keep away' sign in all cultures, a look of unhappiness is not a welcoming sign, either.
Often a simple Hi! with a smile is a way to break the ice. People are always interested in talking about themselves and all it takes is a simple question from yourself. Pets are also conversation openers.
Always made me wonder why VN's and Chinese are not allowed to smile on their ID, and Passport photo's.?, Now I know why.

This is the first my rule for my students. I always said to them: if you need any help, pls ask your friends (in FB's group) first, and if everything can't solve, then send email to me. Don't try to contact me by moblie/text/FB's messeage, I won't reply. But if you feel sad about your study/love/life, you can contact me by whatever you want, I will reply immediately! Because I have more than 400 students/semester, if 1 student has 1 question, how can I spend time for myselft聽
? I don't mind to help, but if it's worth. And they know this rule clearly. They rarely disturb me. That's why I have much time to come here to relax
.
. But I talked to her much, and she is more friendly 
Girl, you are pretty, and have nice smile. Try to smile whenever you can
! There are many guys around us, they are very friendly, willing to help, but if you are always not friendly, they don't dare talk to you. After I attended the English class in this year, I knew many people. Once I had a problem with my motorbike, I was trying to overcome the problem, but I couldn't. Suddenly a guy passed over me, and he said: oh Nga, wait, wait, let me help you! I've just meet this guy some months ago, he and I drank beer with my English teacher. At that time, he said to me: I really want to see you, because many people talk about you, you are the only person who can invite our English teacher drink beer
! Just some kind words, but I felt happy haha

LOL, like your sense of humor though it's slightly ironic :-p
I think you cant find the answer here cos you really have a clear plan which was mentioned above. The question must be " how can i change my mind to do my plan?".
How do you feel when you meet strangers? Shy? Unconfident about your job? Or worried about how pp judge you?

Yes I agree. I tried to smile but cameraman said " pls dont smile". Wonder if there is any rule about it.
, don't know how to translate this to English

Govt. is afraid that they won't recognize people's faces since it differs each time you change your face. What if the first time you smile and next time you laugh then next you frown? :-p
Kidding! But it's true that they don't wanna see to many differences of 1 face.

That's where Muslims save a lot of money on photo's.
))I think you only need to make friend with this guy. Reading his replies & giggling helps a lot!
To pretty OP:
If you wanna get out of somewhere and there's a door but you don't use it, ask yourself if you really wanna get out or you're enjoying sitting there. I can see many doors opened to you, just relax, loosen your brain, don't care about anybody, only you, and smile.
Me? I'm digging a way out my own even there's no door.Btw, I'm curious why you're afraid of making friend with strangers then you come to a forum full of strangers asking them to be your friend. Hell noooo! Stay out of these ironic smart cold blood men here!!!聽 :-p (<--- this is a joke for respected men here)
. And because she also wants to teach English, maybe she cand learn something from many English teachers here."Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone." 鈥揗argaret Wheatley

Do it playfully, lightheartedly. Some students couldn't speak during a competition in Thailand. It was a terrible experience for them and I wish there had been an opportunity to put them at ease... JUST TALK, stop worrying.
All the best,
Chris

Oh, your English teacher may be the same person who taught me, his name is Danny, right? He teachs very well, however, I don't get in touch with him
I learnt in B2 class. it ended, and I couldn't practise speaking anymore

No, not only him. But don't public his name here聽
. I don't want he knows that we pay compliment for him, ha ha
(the another teacher gave me a link to this forum, so I thought they would come here sometimes
). I聽 was a "individual" student, because I only "decry" them (not only him), want to make them angry always聽
I still keep in touch, because when someone needs translate something, he needs my help

I'm thinking the 'passport' comment was intended as 'tongue in cheek' ....
Nobody in any country is allowed to smile in passport photos - or mug shots.
Change in place is one of the best option as well. True to the sayings in the forum, you do have quite a few friends just communicate with us and have a hearty laugh at the end of the day...
