okay here it is.
the gas gauge on our prius seems to work based on how much gas you put in last rather than measuring how much is in the tank.

Close Shyness
I'm comfortable teaching private music lessons. I feel confident there that what I have to say has value. When I try to socialize outside of that setting, I doubt that I have much of interest to say. I feel inferior to the other people there because I can't think of funny/interesting things to say. I assume they are thinking that about me too, and how weak they must think I am for being afraid to talk. I worry that as someone gets to know me better, they'll like me less and less.
Treatments
- Pets Working / Worked
- I've always loved animals. I trust them more and feel more relaxed with them than with most people.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- i went for private (free:)counseling for a few semesters in college and group counseling for a few months back in Canada (also free:). I found it beneficial being able to talk to someone but was frustrated with myself because I was more concerned about what the counsellor/group thought of me and if i was being a good client and i had trouble opening up to them because of that.
- Self-help Working / Worked
- i have found a few books very helpful and often find the best way to feel better about something is to write in my journal about it.
- Singing Working / Worked
- I love music of all sorts. Listening to and playing music has always been a huge emotional outlet for me.
Close Healthy Relationships
when i met my wife my self-esteem was low so i felt lucky to have her.I put up with yelling,name calling,cursing & the occasional hit,in private & public.i've since become self-employed & we have 2 daughters.i'm more confident & don't take it as easily.she's stopped hitting, cursing,&name calling but started throwing things at me (e.g clocks, razors, phones). says a few wds to me when i get home fm wk,just watches tv then goes to bed. seems to hate a more assertive me.iwant itto work but how?
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- being patient and letting her get her way is always the best way to diffuse a situation. i get frustrated and angry if it starts to feel like i almost never get to do what i want,or my business (teaching & playing music)is suffering because i can't devote time to it when i need to. what i see as excessive teasing or unduly harsh discipline of our 4 yr old gets me upset the soonest.
- Talking Working / Worked
- i find it hard to talk to her about things.she makes fun of me or talks over me if i stammer or search for words.she screams ever louder the longer i take to give in.I know i've changed the rules&vibe of our relationship,&it's hard for her to get out of her comfort zone.i'm not perfect either, but i feel like she blames me for everything&leaves most of work for me to do.i feel like she tries to dictate if/when i can do things for myself {practice for gigs,e-mail,exercise, play with our girls}.
- Writing Working / Worked
- i've always found it helpful to keep a journal. my wife will read my journal without asking me so i'm cautious about writing on paper. DS has been great for me.
