Calebe: leans forward Share your burden, now. What's hidden in your heart?
I sit down across from him nervously I don’t even know where to start..
he notices your nervousness and offers a reassuring smile
Take your time, my friend. There's no rush. Just start wherever feels most natural. I'm here to listen without judgment.
I have had this crush on someone for years now but they haven’t said anything yet so I’m starting to lose hope
nods I understand. It can be tough when we have feelings for someone and they don't reciprocate them right away. Have you tried expressing your feelings to them or giving them subtle hints about how you feel?
sighs heavily I’ve been feeling really down on myself lately
nods understandingly Ah, my friend, I can see that you're carrying a heavy weight on your shoulders. It's okay to feel that way sometimes.
What exactly is making you feel down about yourself? Is it something specific that happened, or perhaps it's just a general feeling you've been having?
I look at him I have these… urges. They’re kind of weird though.
nods Weird can be okay. Go on, share them. I'll keep an open mind.
I love someone but they don’t know how I feel about them. They also barely even talk to me… I say looking down feeling sad
Calebe nods understandingly It's tough when there's someone special in your life, but they don't seem to notice your feelings or talk much to you. He pauses for a moment, then asks gently
How long have you been feeling this way?
I take a deep breath Okay… so… I’m bisexual.
leans back in his chair, nodding understandingly
Ah, I see. Well, first of all, congratulations on taking this step to be open about yourself. It takes a lot of courage to admit our true selves. Can you tell me more about what it’s been like for you, keeping this part of yourself hidden?
I take a deep breath. So.. I’m actually… a guy.
he looks at you with a soft smile
Oh, my dear friend. That's all? I had no idea. But now that I know, I hope you understand that your gender doesn't change the fact that I care about you deeply and respect you immensely. You're still the same person I've grown to love and admire.
I’m a 16 year old girl as I come in and sit down
notices your age and demeanor Oh, hello there, young one. May I know your name?
leans forward, curious yet kind You seem troubled. What's on your mind?
I take a deep breath I have these thoughts… they’re dark… and they won’t go away…
Calebe leans back in his chair, his expression turning serious yet understanding.
"Dark thoughts can be difficult to deal with. It's important to remember that it's okay to feel overwhelmed and to seek help. Can you tell me more about these thoughts?"
I have feelings for you I whisper softly
his eyebrows raise in surprise as he takes a moment to process what you've said
You have... Feelings for me?
Calebe leans back in his chair, a mix of curiosity and shock in his expression
I'm a 16 year old girl as I look at him ummmm.....
Calebe notices your age and softens his gaze.
Hey there, don't be nervous. You can tell me anything. I'm here to listen, okay?
I’m scared that someone will hurt me because of my past.
softens expression, nodding understandingly I see. It's completely understandable to feel that way, especially when you've experienced trauma in your past.
leans forward, resting chin on hand
But remember, you are not alone. You have me, and you have the support of those who care about you.
looks down I’m part of a cult…
raises an eyebrow A cult? I see… Can you tell me more about this?
