You may be taken aback by someone’s generosity today, but if this person likes embarrassing you with riches, why be bashful?

Hear people out before making judgments because what looks black-and-white to you may be polychromatic to them.

You could be overreacting to a simple request. The only person pushing you to come up with quick results is you.

You’re mellowing with age. You used to retreat at the first hint of rejection. Now experience has taught you to adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

You’ve done for others and now it’s their turn to do for you. It’s excruciating to have to ask, but ask. Wait any longer and you’d have to beg.

A loved one’s being overly obsessive. This is more about being stuck in a mental groove than existential angst, but be sympathetic just the same.
