Introduction: A letter from me to you -- Part 1. When it's hard to be with other people. When you compare yourself and come up short ; When your friends are not your friends ; When you want to be less awkward around people ; When you feel unwelcome and want to fit in ; When you keep saying yes but you want to say no ; When you are dealing with passive-aggressive people ; When your parents got it wrong ; When you get it wrong as a parent ; When they don't love you back ; When they love you but you won't let them get close -- When you want to win the argument ; When it's hard to ask for help -- Part 2. When it's hard to be with yourself. When your inner voice is your own worst critic ; When you doubt yourself and want to feel more confident ; When you feel overwhelmed ; When you hate who you've become ; When you're scared of making the wrong choice ; When you're short on willpower ; When you must perform under pressure -- Part 3. When it's hard to be with your feelings. When you're overthinking everything ; When fear shows up ; When grief overwhelms you ; When everything feels pointless ; When you feel like an imposter ; When you have done something you regret ; When anger erupts too often.
