Hey guys, welcome back to Thicken Thin with me, Katie Bellatti.

And today on the podcast, we are doing a dear Katie episode.

I do one of these every once in a while when I'm feeling up to it because honestly, it

takes a lot out of me as an empathetic person.

I've talked about this before.

I have this extreme empathy, which is a good thing and a horrible thing at the same time.

If you are an empathetic person as well, you know how it feels to, you know, when you

read a predicament or a confusion of someone else's, you kind of carry it with you for a while.

So I don't do a ton of these just because I, you know, I'm going through a lot of my

own stuff, just moving, dealing with getting used to being in the city again.

It's all this stuff.

But now I'm feeling kind of comfortable where I am to read through some of your confusions

and questions and, you know, answer them to the best of my abilities.

So today we're doing a dear Katie episode and I have a ton of questions that were sent

in via DM.

I'm going to answer a handful of them today in a thoughtful way.

I'm not a therapist, so I'm not going to dive into the therapisty things because, you

know, if you need a therapist, get one.

It's really the best thing I've ever done.

I'm not going to give you professional advice because I'm not, because I'm not a professional.

I'm just going to tell you guys what I think if I were in these given situations, what

I would do, is it the right thing?
