Question 1: A close friend leaned on me emotionally more than I felt comfortable with, and eventually pulled away. Should I reach out to show I care, and how do I manage my feelings of resentment?

Question 2: What does play therapy for a child typically look like, and how does it help uncover underlying emotional issues?

Question 3: My 14-year-old daughter feels she is always the one reaching out to a longtime friend, and the friendship now feels one-sided. Should she distance herself and invest more in other friendships?

Comment 4: Children may not always understand why they struggle socially. Constantly discussing it may increase self-doubt, while guidance from a trusted adult can help them better understand themselves and improve social connections.
