"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"
"I want girls to like me"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"

"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"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"
"You've been so helpful"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
