Open Question: Good way to overcome shyness?
I’m pretty shy and one of my older friends who also used to be shy told me to go up and approach people and start conversations with them. He told me an idea called progressive conditioning where the first few days I would just ask 20 people the time then 30 then 40. Then after that ask people for directions and then after I’m comfortable with that think of conversation starts to open up spontaneous like “Are you a dog or cat person (etc.) with random people. He said after doing this for a few months I will feel a lot differently and much more socially comfortable. Anyone have any ideas on this? Is this effective?

Open Question: Cancer – Is my step mum being sent home to die?
Ok I’m asking this because my step mum is in hospital and I’m being kept out of the loop as to what is going on.

She started being unwell about 3 weeks ago and was put in hospital and further tests show she has a type of cancer that is progressive (I think it’s something to do with the spleen but not entirely sure) and it’s now spread to her blood.

She’s had chemo and having some again this week but then she is being sent home. I’m so sick with worry….But the weird thing is she is being sent home next week.

I did some research and it says “Treatment is usually with chemotherapy given through the veins. In most cases, chemotherapy is given in courses over four to six months. Each course lasts four to five days.” and “The normal bone marrow is sensitive to chemotherapy and the blood counts may drop, making the patient vulnerable to infection and bleeding.”

Why would they be sending her home if she is prone to infection? I’m no medical genius but I know this is terminal, is she being sent home to die?

I can’t talk to family about this even though I’m 21, they are keeping me, my brother and her two children – the youngest is 8 out of what is going on.

I just want to prepare myself, sorry if this is long.
