"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"

"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"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"

"thank you, you too!!"

"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"

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

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"

"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"

"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."

"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"

"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."

"I have been feeling just really down"

"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"

"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."

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

"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"

"I’m doing better now, thank you!"

"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
