		<description><![CDATA[Stress. It’s the modern curse. However, you should never tell anyone you’re stressed, because that makes you an instant stress charlatan. If you’ve got time to tell someone how incredibly stressed you are — “Oh God, I’m so stressed! Stand there for five minutes whilst I tell you in tedious detail how stressed I am!” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[House prices. Foreign holidays. Cars. Relationships. Children. Babies. Career prospects. Financial planning. Once you reach a certain age, these are just some of the most common conversational topics that you will be expected to flit through with consummate ease in social situations. However, instead of practicing your false smile and giving in to the stultifying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you get older, be aware that the ‘lending money’ threshold rises. When you’re a kid, you can justifiably ask to be paid back if you someone borrows a quid. When you’re in your late teens, that sum rises to £2.50. Early 20s = a fiver. Once you turn 30, if you chase someone to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you don’t have a close friend or relative who can help you to feel guilty — about anything, frankly — on a regular basis, get yourself a pet. Preferably a dog. Result: instant guilt at least twice a day. And if you’re not allowed a pet where you live, buy a DVD of Lassie [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although it often appears to be the result of massive insecurity, low self-esteem and an almost sickeningly desperate desire to be loved, over-apologising is actually a skilled art, and it must be approached with care. It’s no good just babbling, “Sorry. I’m really sorry. Really really sorry. Oh God, I’m so sorry. Will you ever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Never go to bed on an argument. Unless it was a particularly satisfying argument that you won hands down, because it really is much easier to sleep when you’re brimming with selfish confidence. You’ll hate yourself in the morning, of course, but some things are worth doing just for that momentary sensation of feeling invincible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If leaving voicemail messages terrifies you, because you know you turn into a gibbering wreck who takes about three minutes to babble incoherently into a machine, there is a simple solution: don’t leave a voicemail message. Do, however, stay on the phone for a few seconds after the all-important beep, and sigh audibly into the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you must stare at people, always stare at them with wide, vacant eyes — as if you’ve temporarily lost control of all trains of thought and your mind is filled with nothing but cotton wool, what you’re having for dinner, and vaguely pondering whatever happened to that actor who used to be in that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Always say what you feel. Always. But don’t actually send the email containing the words in which you said what you felt. If your Drafts folder isn’t bulging at the seams with months, even years, of accumulated raw emotion suddenly unleashed in long and disjointed paragraphs of Arial, consider rectifying this situation immediately.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Refrain from walking up and down corridors in open-plan offices whilst talking loudly into your mobile phone about deals and high-level meetings. You are not impressing anyone. All you are doing is reminding people that you have an ego the size of Belgium. Oh, and stop saying “yah?” at the end of every sentence. Yah?]]></description>
