13.01.2022 Smiles are contagious! The remarkable thing about smiling is that when you give it to someone, it causes them to reciprocate by returning the smile, even when you are both using fake smiles. It is thought that there is a mirror neuron in the brain that triggers the part responsible for recognition of faces and expressions and causes an instant mirroring reaction. Whether we realise it or not, we automatically copy the expressions of the faces we see. ... This makes smiling regularly an important thing to include in your repertoire of body language. Be sure to smile even when you don’t feel like it because smiling directly influences other people’s attitudes and how they respond to you. So.. say cheese keep smiling and don’t forget to follow us for other helpful tips. @friendsmattersocialcoaching See more

07.01.2022 Have you ever been the target of gossip? Although these may go against your natural instincts, here are some strategies for how to handle it. Don't try to disprove the rumour.... Trying to disprove a rumour makes you look defensive and guilty. The new rumour will be how you are freaking out trying to disprove the rumour. Don't appear upset. Apperaing upset adds fuel to the rumour mill The new rumour will be how upset you are. Don' t confront the person spreading the gossip. This will also add fuel to the rumour mill. The person spreading the rumour may feel justified because you have confronted them and continue to spread more rumours. The new rumour might be that you freaked out and confronted the person. Avoid the person spreading the gossip. No matter what you do, the situation will probably get worse if you are around the gossip. The new rumour might be that you couldn’t even look at the person spreading the rumour. Act amazed anyone CARES about you or the gossip. People will bring up the rumour just to see your reaction. If the gossip is TRUE, act amazed anyone CARES about it: o "Can you believe anyone cares about that? o "People need to get a life." o People seriously need to find something better to talk about." If the gossip is NOT TRUE, Act amazed anyone BELIEVES the gossip: o "Who would believe that?' o "People are so gullible. o People will believe anything. o "I can't believe anyone would believe that. The last thing to do is to spread the rumour about yourself. Sounds nuts huh? It’s too much to fit into this already long post so I’ll pop it into another post shortly.

03.01.2022 POEM: THE WHITE MAGNOLIA TREE The year when I was twenty-one, (John that year was twenty-three) That was the year, that was the spring,... We planted the white magnolia tree. "This tree," said John, "shall grow with us, And every year it will bloom anew. This is our life. This is our love." And the white magnolia tree grew and grew... Oh, youth' a thing of fire and ice, And currents that run hot and white, And its world is as bright as the sun... I was twenty-one... And I wore a plume in my hat. And we went to the movies and wept over" Stella Dallas", And John sang "Moonlight and Roses" (a little off-key, but very nicely really), And we hurried through our crowded days With beautiful plans, boundless ambitions, and golden decisions. There is so much the young heart clamours for, That it must have, and that it cannot live without, And it must be all or nothing, For aren't we the masters of creation? Oh, valiant and untamed were we, When we planted the white magnolia tree! And the white magnolia grew and grew, Holding our love within its core, And every year it bloomed anew, And we were twenty-one no more. No more untamed, no more so free, Nor so young, nor so wild and aflame were we. Dearer to us grew other things: Easy sleep, books, a day's quiet holiday, Good talk beside a fire, the beauty of old faces... We have known many things since then: The death of a child and the bitter lesson That a heart which breaks can mend itself again (That it can and must be done), And what loyalty can mean, And how real a word like courage can become, And that solitude can be rich and gratifying And quite different from loneliness... There is so little the serious heart requires: Friends, faith, a window open to the world, Pride in work well done, And strength to live in a world at war And still maintain the heart's own private peace... Dear Heaven, I give thanks to thee For things I did not know before, For the wisdom of maturity, For bread, and a roof, and for one thing more... Thanks because I still can see The bloom on the white magnolia tree! Helen Deutsch See more

01.01.2022 RUMOURS AND GOSSIP. How should you handle them.. If you didn’t catch my last post about rumours and gossip go back and check it out. You’ll find it on the other picture I’ve posted of the cast of The Office. The following is the final step in how to minimise rumours and gossip. ... SPREAD THE RUMOURS ABOUT YOURSELF (Yes, this is for real) Don’t wait for people to ask you about the rumour. Be proactive and spread the rumour about yourself to people you trust who will support you. Spread the rumour about yourself infront of people who will overhear the conversation (do this on several occasions with different people). Steps for spreading the rumour 1. Acknowledge the rumour exists. Have you heard this rumour about me? 2. Discredit and make fun of the rumour How lame That’s so stupid It’s too ridiculous for words How stupid is that one? 3. Act amazed anyone would CARE about or BELIEVE the rumour. it’s amazing what some people will believe It’s so crazy that people believe that Can you believe anyone would believe that? Spreading the rumour about yourself takes the power out of the gossip and allows you to take control of and dispel what’s being said. #neurodiversefamily #friendsmatter #atypical #neurodiverseparenting #actuallyautistic #aspie #aspielife #aspiedating #datingrules #highfunctioningautismsucks #asd #aspieparenting #adhd #adhdparenting #adhdproblems #adhdsucks #asdparenting #friendshipskills #socialskills #socialskillstraining #socialskillscourse #socialskillssuck #socialanxietysucks #sociallyskilled #socialrules #introverted #introvertedfriends #invisiblechallenges #invisibledisability #dyslexia via @preview.app
