Why don’t you focus on understanding your own emotions and forget about trying to figure out why someone else is acting so weird? You need to take a new point of view regarding a difficult friend. If they are pouting or moody, just leave them be. Their problems, while annoying or troubling to you, are their own to solve. You can’t fix their life for them, as much as you might want to. You’re doing them no favors by offering advice that they’re never going to take.

You could never be accused of being taciturn, and right now the words are really flowing, and with great effect in the realm of romance. Tell them about your latest, greatest idea.

Make an effort with your partner. A ‘comfortable’ relationship doesn’t have to mean ‘boring.’ If you sense that the two of you are falling into a rut, it’s time to get out there and try something new on the double.

How you invest your money is as much a matter of taste as how you spend it. Someone might be shocked if they knew, and there’s no reason to reveal it anyway. Staying mum makes sense on all fronts.
