Dear Nats:

I would like to understand your struggle here. You wrote: “Whenever I try to speak about the things that I’m going through nobody seems to understand me, sometimes I feel like they are not even paying attention.”

Can you pretend you are trying to speak here, to me, about something you are going through, do so in the way you have done with friends/ family?

And then can you write how they respond, what they say after what you shared?

And to your last sentence: “How do I address my discomfort without making them feel bad?” What do you mean by “making them feel bad.” How will you be making them feel bad and what is that bad feeling you don’t want them to feel?
