LPT Request: How can I learn to speak slowly? I have a deep voice when I speak slowly, and I really like that about me. However, in conversations, and more so when I’m giving advice, my voice tends to speed up quite easily. The problem is, I often speak too quickly, to the point where I do not articulate properly anymore and where I speak in a higher voice. How can I constantly remind mysel…

LPT Request: How to deal with travel anxiety I’ve never loved traveling. I like being in new places, doing new things, meeting new people. But I loathe everything involved in the actual travel to and from. I get horrible anxiety about missing flights, about finding parking, about losing luggage or having delays. Even if I’m not flying, I get anxious about the drive, about the level of traf…

LPT Request: How to battle my passive-aggression? Unfortunately, I have developed an unpleasant tendency to give people the cold shoulder and shut them out completely whenever they have done something that displeases me.

LPT request: How to manage ‘fear of missing out’? I am currently a medical student, so things are very tight monetary-wise. Since time is limited, it is really hard to also have a part-time job alongside such a demanding degree without burning out.

LPT: $5 can make a difference During my time at an office, there was a coworker known for being exceptionally lazy and challenging to collaborate with. On a particular occasion, I requested a favor from her, and she dragged her feet, making a simple task seem like an enormous burden, even though it was within her job responsibilities. While we were discussing the details, sh…

I’ve been in an abusive relationship for a year now and it just ended with him screaming “fuck you”, hanging up, and then blocking me.

LPT: Rinse and Spin your Swimsuit After Wearing It Swimsuits can be a pain to dry. Mine has one of those little “skirts,” and I can never wring enough water out of it, it always drips a lot, and takes forever to dry. I use the pool in my complex to exercise every other day (working my way up to daily), so this is really annoying. I recently realized that after I went for a quick swim, I could th…

LPT: Your life doesn’t have to be in shambles to decide to be sober. I was a casual drinker (a few on the weekend, maybe a couple during the week) but it affected my mood, anxiety, and sleep heinously. I’ve been without a drink for almost a month, and I can’t believe the amount of mental clarity, sleep, and lack of bodily pain I’m having. Absolutely no hate to those who aren’t, but I just think some people are m…

LPT: If you have small children, record them on video often and store it where they can access it. Not just pictures, video with sound. Even if they are seemingly doing nothing interesting, like wandering around in the back yard, record them. I just started digitizing the old VHS tapes my father recorded more than 30 years ago. Looking at myself from back then, the environment I was in that I vaguely remember, together with seeing/hearing my …

LPT Request: What do you do when you see a parent and child arguing in public? A few months ago, I went bike riding with my partner using the rideshare bikes in our city. As we’re about to rent out the bikes, we noticed this father and his son arguing. The father (who was speaking Spanish) kept gesturing to his son to get on the bike. But the son (who was speaking English and maybe around 10yrs old) kept refusing because t…

LPT Request: How to be More Well Spoken I’ve never enjoyed talking very much. Word sequences don’t come easily to me and I would love to try and be more interesting with my wording rather than constantly giving summarized bullet-points. Trying to get me to talk about my day in more than 2 sentences is like pulling teeth. The pressure of trying to hold someones attention long enough to…
