What's on people's minds

I've been putting off a difficult conversation with my roommate about cleanliness for 3 months now. Every time I try to bring it up I back out. It's making me dread coming home.

I got a promotion but my best friend at work didn't and now she barely talks to me. I don't know if I should address it or give her space.

My parents keep asking when I'm getting married and I'm 28, single, and genuinely happy. The conversations are exhausting and I don't want to fight.

I've been at my job for 4 years and never asked for a raise. I know I'm underpaid. I have an offer elsewhere but I'd rather stay. I just freeze when I think about the conversation.

I said something really insensitive to a close friend during an argument two weeks ago. I apologized but things still feel off. I don't know how to fix it.

I can't stop doom-scrolling before bed and it's ruining my sleep. I know what the problem is, I just can't stop doing it.

My manager takes credit for my work in meetings and I have no idea how to handle it without seeming petty or aggressive.

I've been freelancing for 2 years and I still feel guilty charging people. I undercharge constantly and then resent the work.

I moved to a new city 6 months ago and I still haven't made a single friend. I go to things, I try, but nothing sticks and I'm starting to wonder if it's me.

I keep starting hobbies and quitting after 2 weeks. I've bought equipment for 6 different things in the past year. I don't know if I'm scattered or just haven't found the right one.

My ex keeps texting me 'just to check in' and I still have feelings. I know I should stop responding but I can't make myself do it.

I'm the only one in my friend group who doesn't drink and people keep making it weird. I don't want to explain myself every time we go out.
