Dear Ladybug:

Good to read from you again! Congratulations for graduating college and being in the process of breaking into a journalism/ writing career!

I have nothing to offer you regarding your female friends issue. Maybe someone else will. If you’d like to answer the following, it may lead me to some advice:
1. Do you feel uncomfortable with assertive/ strong women as friends?
2. Did you share with the female friends your problems/ challenges or did you just listen to their problems?
3. How did it feel to be a “therapist”/ healer to these women?
