"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"

"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"

"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"

"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."

"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"

"What can I do to improve my mood?"

"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"

"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."

"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻‍♂️"

"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"

"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"

"I enjoy all of this information"

"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"

"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"

"How do I deal with stress?"

"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"

"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"

"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
