Relationships in General

Confidence with relationships can sound like an impossibility sometimes. I have a friend who says, "Situations aren't difficult, people are difficult". And, it's true on one level. Sometimes it seems like it would be a whole lot easier if we didn't have to deal with anyone but ourselves. But, it's our relationships with others that bring us the most amazing experiences. Whether they're positive or negative, they manage to teach us not only about the world around us but we discover who we truly are through our dealings with others. The only way to truly know if you've developed self confidence is to interact with others and it's a lot easier if you know some great techniques to use with all those people you come into contact with every single day. Check out this section for tips and ideas on how to make relationships easier.
