"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"

"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."

"thank you, you too!!"

"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."

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

"Okay, thank you🤎"

"You've been so helpful"

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"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 appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"

"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"

"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."

"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"

"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...?"

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

"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽‍♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("

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

"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"

"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."

"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"

"I totally agree thanks!"

"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"

"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"

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

"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"

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

"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"
