Your ability to connect with others in a genuine way is your superpower! Even though it might seem like your friends just want to joke around and be silly, they too are looking for loyal pals to depend on. Here are some things that I want you to acknowledge:
Cry.
Cry some more. It can be challenging when life does not seem fair.
Cry when you feel sad. Cry when you are scared that you're "ugly" or worried that no one likes you.
Say that you care, because you do.
Talk, play, and be active. You have so much energy! Do not waste it sitting around and playing video games, watching TV, or scrolling on your phone.
These skills will help you to be a leader, not a follower. They will help you to build your community, connections, support system, and resources. You have so much potential and life will present you with endless opportunities to match your authenticity.
