Hello. I am just messaging to enquire about the ad in the paper for someone to talk to.

Alice TP
Hey! You have the right number. What makes you feel the need to contact me? Can I also get your name?

Unknown
It's David. There are a lot of reasons. It sounds stupid but I don't really want to get into them straight away. I don't feel comfortable talking to someone I've never spoken to enough to vent my problems.

Alice TP
It's nice to hear from you David. I completely understand. Why don't we send a paragraph about each other and then answer a few questions to get to know each other a bit.

David
I like that idea.

I'm David. I'm 22. My job is complicated but it requires me to work long hours. I have a great group of friends but I sometimes feel as though I'm disconnected and different from them. I have 3 siblings. 2 sisters and a brother and I'm the oldest of them all. My parents are fine but we don't always get along.

I think that's about it.

Alice TP
Awesome.

I'm Alice. I'm 21. I'm a registered nurse so I can also work long hours depending on whether I'm doing some office work or if I'm needed on the floor. I don't have an abundance of friends but I live with my best friend Zoe. I also am the oldest sibling of a little brother.

I think that's about it as well. Do you have any questions?

David
Just one really. Why do you want to do this?

Alice TP
Helping people is something I've always been passionate about. I may not have a degree in psychology but I can still offer help and provide someone with a non-judgemental person they can talk to if they need it.

David, I will not force you into talking about any issues. If there is something you want to talk about, just message me. I don't care what time it is, I will at least try and help you.

David
Thank you 😊 as of now, I am ok but if I need someone to talk to, I'll definitely text you.
