"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"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?"

"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"

"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"

"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea"

"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"

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

"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"

"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."

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

"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"

"I want girls to like me"

"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."

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

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"

"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"

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

"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."

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

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

"I enjoy all of this information"

"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?"

"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"

"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...?"

"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"
