Why do you think they’re clueless?

How does the existence of social classes validate your remark? Would it be equally appropriate to make a similar comment about those with lesser means with the requisite tropes? How does either exhibit a Christ-like spirit? No, I don’t struggle with fitting in. My parents were very intentional...

That would depend on how the person conducts themselves. If they seek to incite others through careless words or unkind behavior they’ll probably fare worse than those who lead with love and grace. We reap what we sow.

Why do you emphasize class in your comments? You are aware that God calls people from all walks of life and ministers to them too correct?

God calls us to different paths and missions. What He requires of some isn’t necessary for the next. What’s most important is fulfilling the task we’re given for His glory,

You would begin a conversation on makeup the same way you’d begin one on food or any subject of interest. With a question or an opinion. Most broach the subject with skincare and learn good techniques then move to makeup and look for products that enhance their appearance. Ideally, it should...

You don’t need to be noble to be mannerly. The absence of resources doesn’t minimize ones ability to be polite or gracious. Both were common in the past and weren’t relegated to certain classes.

I think this topic is over spiritualized. Most of the things I’ve read rarely mirror the truths I’ve witnessed in successful partnerships or the women I assisted in finding long-term companions. The bottom line is knowing yourself and what you can tolerate. Not the ideal you. Hopeful you. But...

There is no ailment which befalls us that God has not addressed. Your social challenges would be readily addressed by those He’s gifted in mercy and encouragement. They have a heart for benevolence and frequently come alongside others like yourself. This holds true for all of us. We must seek...

There are a plethora of books including classics and manuals on etiquette which say otherwise. This is a modern problem. Intelligence doesn’t minimize social or conversational skills. You’d need insight on their environment, parental involvement, and childhood experiences. More importantly...

I used to frequent a forum which focused on relationships in the past. Some of the members were in similar circles for over a decade in various venues. We were able to create profiles and add images too. Most shared what they desired in a companion. I did the same and included an age...

The passes will allow you to learn their names and mention those who’ve demonstrated helpfulness or exemplary behavior to their teachers. Good reports are always welcome.

I hope you have a wonderful time. I’m moving overseas for several years for school and will be traipsing Europe with a friend. I have much latitude in my day but the absence of planning would hinder my productivity. I know many sing the merits of spontaneity. But I’m privy to the challenges...

You’d have to set a rule that they’re welcome to use the library for free periods to do assignments, research, or reading. Given their behavior the limitations may be the best course. Infractions should incur a warning and removal if the behavior continues. That’s how the public library operates.

Do they have a separate room you could allow the students to use during their break?

Married life isn’t easier or better for introverts. Being introverted doesn’t mean the individual is service-driven or a joy to live with. There’s a difference from being comfortable in an environment with less stimulation and meeting your companion’s needs through selflessness and anticipatory...

Conversational skills and social prowess as aspects of etiquette, not intelligence. In years gone by, children were instructed in both in the home. A mark of good breeding was the demonstration of social grace, artistic competency, and intellectual depth on multiple subjects. They were revealed...

“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” —Joshua 24:15 The decision to...

I’m a planner. I read a book years ago (and several since then) which articulated the merits of goal setting. They concluded less than 5% of the populations sets goals a d of that number only 3% accomplish them. I’ve seen those statistics borne out many times over. I practice lifestyle design...

Nice analogy. :-) No two systems are the same. Once a person wraps their mind around the truth they’ll cease to judge their neighbor or covet things they lack. You learn to stay in your lane and thrive in the place you’ve been planted. Discontent is borne from ignorance and a mind ruled by...
