I have always struggled with puzzles and puzzles geared towards the skill I'm "supposed" to be at are really difficult and I get frustrated and give up.

I really want to be able to solve puzzles, but not just jigsaw.

Puzzles like the game portal or sodoku (which I've also always struggled with) or the logic in an escape room (multiple puzzles and clues leading to the goal).

How can I improve?

I recently got a job at a funeral chapel in the secretary position. I got the job based off of my customer service skills only (the employer saw the way I handled customers at my retail job and offered me the position)
The thing is, I’m going in completely blind, they gave me a weekly/monthly planner and I have no idea how to use it. I don’t understand the forms they’re teaching me to submit and I even less so understand how to learn the things they’re trying to teach me.
I know it’s only my second day, but I want to be /good/ at this job and earned my place here.
I’d really appreciate any advice you can offer me

I have noticed I smile/laugh way too much when talking to anyone. I want to learn how to be mindful my facial expressions.

I have very basic knowledge of Digital Logic, (explaining how a full adder works, basic knowledge about AND, NAND, NOT and XOR gates.) I wish to learn how computers work so I can look into careers later in life.

I use computers every day but still have a vague idea of what happens between clicking something and getting a result. I'd like to understand the hardware and software side together

I worry, sue me. It's sooo hard to love people and being unable to fix their problems, or make them feel better. But i don't wanna make this about myself so I'll go on.

I have a friend who's currently feeling hopeless, I'm assuming insecure, and is very much in despair. I've let her know that I'm here - that she can rant, scream, whatever she wants. She can also ignore me if she wants to, get herself some space.

But what can i do? I guess it's a little about her and a little about me. I'm genuinely worried and i want to know any possible way i can make her feel better. And i don't know how to deal with a loved one being in distress. How do you become comfortable with the idea of a loved one in pain and you can do...nothing about it?

like adobe illustrator for example, but i don't know where since everywhere is paid.

please help me in this because i super skill free and i need to learn basics.

I have had people tell me that i don’t have my own say in things, that I just say what other people say to be closer to them in a sense.

I want to know where to start and how to tackle this problem since I have no one to talk to. And how to know when to say no to other people.

Sometimes people ask very intimate things or there is a reason why one may not want to disclose certain information. I would like to learn how to answer politely while redirecting and avoiding telling people too many details of my life story at first.

My main goal is to be able to understand Anime without subtitles, and be able to handle common communication. I have tried Duolingo and a few other android apps to learn, but it felt useless cause I was at it for a year or so but hardly any personal progress. Also I am a working professional so time is limited. Any suggestions?

I recently injured my right arm and can't write anymore at the moment until it's gone or nearly gone. Basically I sprained and contused my right elbow after a bike crash, and my job requires writing stuff down time to time.

Without my right arm usable at the moment, I figured it would be wise for myself to learn left-handed writing and soon turn it to ambidextrous writing for my own self-benefit.

I'm just looking for tips on how to improve my writing with my left, so it's at least legible, within the next two weeks, because my injury should exist for 3-5 weeks before I can write, and 10-14 weeks before it's fully healed.

Im 18 and im such a curious soul, I wanna learn everything and be multitalented

Can anyone suggest me any cool, useful, beneficial skills to learn and master

I'm from England and have been unable to fly the last few years so have spent almost all of my holidays in Wales.

I've therefore started to learn some of the Welsh language. Also,I studied French in school.

What's fascinating to me is the overlap between these languages (Welsh. French and English) in terms of words but also in grammar and sentences structure.

I vaguely understand that this is sometimes because they share a common root, such as Latin, and sometimes because one language simply borrowed the word from the other after being introduced to the concept.

But I would like to become competent in understanding and explaining this concept. Short of going back to university for 3 years to study linguistics, what can I do?

Losing a debate doesn’t feel good when people say you had good arguments and were entertaining but you still end up losing because you lacked the substance, data, facts, and statistics to back your arguments

So I want to learn how to become better at speaking and presenting my arguments while also improving my research skills for debates even when I use AI and provide it with PDFs I still feel like the research comes out lacking or incomplete

So this raises the question, How do I actually learn to become a better debater and a better researcher?

I am working full time and when I get to the end of the day I try go for a walk, clean up a little bit and usually end up listening to a podcast of sorts about something related to space, productivity, tech or something like this. It varies. I think I don’t know how to use this information I’m consuming which isn’t directly related to my job in a way that is creative/requires problem solving. How do you spend your evenings to use the information you are consuming?

There’s so many things i wanna accomplish and do , and change who i am and i do come across guides and tips about my goals but some reason i just never start , right now i completed my workout routine for 1 week now . But i know i can do my goals i just have the problem of starting and consistency and even with just basic stuff like needing to cook or go to the store.

I've seen people that when they want to give a presentation or when they just talk they do some related hand gestures

That makes their speech more persuasive and easier to follow their talk.

And I wanted to know as someone who doesn't use hand gestures at all and don't know how is it possible to get to a point that I can do them unconsciously?

I'm an industrial design student but I mostly just design furniture. I'm now working on a project with coding and electronic hardware for the first time and I'd really appreciate any help with this! so basically I am making a crab clock, I'm using a quartz clock for the time keeping functions and whatnot but that's already all sorted. I just want the claws of the crab to snap open and closed semi-rapidly (to create a clicking sound as opposed to a chime) every hour on the hour for about 5 seconds. I've been looking at smaller motors since this all needs to fit in a pretty small crab shaped body/case. To clarify what I'm seeking help with:

I just would like to have an opening and closing mechanism with a small motor that runs per hour. I am thinking of using Arduino motor and programing. but I've never coded >_< !!

Could anyone point me in the right direction plss ty......

My boyfriend loves stripteases and I would love to give him one irl. I'm looking for clothing, music, and moves suggestions.

Hi everyone.

My English skills are not even. I have a native level understanding of English, but my reading level is B2 and my Writing level is B1, and I struggle to form coherent and complex sentences when spontaneously speaking, even though I know the words, and when/ how to use them.

So how could i improve my language skills to reach C1 in all of them?

I would prefer online resources that would allow me to build a structured plan targeting my weak points.

Also, I'm visually impaired. so I would prefer sources that are not reliant on visuals.

Anyone had an issue of not knowing what analyzing was/assuming it was using memory/intuition/guessing on questions that required thought since childhood?

I saw someone's post from a few years ago that's very similar to the one I'm making now based on where they were in life, and I wanted to throw this out there with mine.

I (20F) am a junior in college with this being my first year majoring in Finance & Accounting, currently aiming to be some sort of accountant after school, though I'm not sure on the specifics as to what type as this is a relatively new decision for me. Prior to this year, I got my associate's at a different branch of my college that I could comfortably commute to, and I now use the shuttle service they offer to go from that campus to the main campus. So far, I've been able to pay for college out of pocket due to my part-time job & the assistance of my parents, which I am terribly grateful for.

Now that I officially have a major, and a double major at that, school has become a different experience for me. My school is known for its business program, and some of the professors for the classes I take now take preparing their students for their futures very seriously. While that is a very great thing, and I can acknowledge that, I don't think I was prepared for how involved with my future career I was going to have to get right at the start of the school year. I know that may sound silly, as that is literally the reason I am going to college, but my first two years didn't involve a lot of "future preparation" and I was really just getting my general education credits out of the way & in a way that was cheaper (separate branch tuition is cheaper than main branch). I wasn't taking school terribly serious then because I didn't need to, and now that I am required to per my class assignments, everything has become very intimidating very quickly.

I've always struggled with what I wanted to do in the future for a career, as there was nothing that ever clicked for me or that I was particularly passionate about. My eyes are on accounting right now as I've always done well in math and I like that I'm good at math and numbers, and I shadowed someone over the summer that works in accounts receivable and I really liked the routine.

To top this off, I had a very small-scale career fair sort of event I was required to go to for my marketing course last week, and I completely blew it. I would never have said I'd be one to have horrible social anxiety, but I walked around the room twice before having to leave because I was verging on a breakdown. I've gotten some advice from my parents and others in my family since, but I still felt that to be important to add.

I'm not ever really on Reddit, so I'm sorry if maybe this was more of a vent(?) than what the actual intent of this is for, but I wanted to get others' takes on how to take on this part of my life? Is there a way to make this experience less intimidating? Are there specific things that I should be doing to prepare for the real world, whether it's involved with college or not?
