0:00.0	I have a baby daughter. She's asleep right now, but I might have to pick her up and have her join the meeting, if that's okay.
0:09.6	That is totally fine. Don't worry. Don't worry even the tiniest little bit about that. That's totally fine.
0:14.5	Okay. Thank you.
0:15.6	You're welcome. You're welcome. All right. So how can I help?
0:18.4	I would like to talk about avoiding a future problem and helping myself.
0:23.6	I don't have any close friends, and I always end up with weird people that I don't really
0:29.3	trust.
0:29.7	So I feel lonely, and I don't know how to show my daughter how to make friends and how to
0:35.9	avoid bad people.
0:39.7	I need help to try to figure out how to meet the right people and make friends, or rather why I can't do that at this point.

2:17.9	it out of the show. So just, you know, I hate to say just relax. You know, like that works.
2:23.2	But, but yeah, just do your best because we're just here to have a chat. Okay. So I'm, I'm, I'm driven
