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

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

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

"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"

"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"

"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???"

"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"

"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"

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

"My boyfriend broke up with me"

"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"

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

"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"

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

"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 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...?"

"That's really comforting, thank you!"

"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"Thanks for the wonderful advice"

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

"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"

"How do I deal with stress?"

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

"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"

"Sounds awesome!"

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

"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
