Room for the quieter version of you
Deb worries that her friends only like her when she is funny. Rosie suggests starting with one honest sentence to one friend. Deb tells Sue that she has felt lonely, and Sue suggests walking to the bus stop together. Deb realises that she did not have to earn the walk with a joke. The conversation is ordinary, quiet and something she enjoys.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
The quieter version of Deb gets a place in the conversation too. Rosie listens to the worry beneath the joke and helps Deb name what she wants to share with Sue. You can bring a funny story, an uncertain feeling or a mixed day to a free chat with Rosie.
