Tonight’s Think Tank question: I’ve been a high-level player chasing mythic content, and I realize that I’m not having fun anymore. When I was new to WoW, I had a lot more fun, even if I was considered a “bad” player. I’ve lost friends because I was too concerned with competing to be the best of the best, and now it’s too lonely to even log in anymore. How do I find the player I used to be?

Tonight’s Think Tank question: Dr. Holiday Bean returns to the show to help us tackle a discussion topic letter about snap judgements - the awful "But you don't look sick" judgements, why snap judgements are something we all do, what we can do when we realize we’re judging people, and how we can use our logic brain to expand our perspectives of the world.

Tonight’s Think Tank question: I’m in high school and transgender. I am pretty open about it, but I’m slowly being less and less open when people ask me really invasive questions. Most kids either dislike me for who I am, or don't believe I am who I am. I would appreciate it if you could give me advice on it.

Tonight’s Think Tank question: Over the years, my Grandma has cut family members out and forbidden others to interact with them. Now she’s cutting me out because of things my ex-husband shared about why our relationship ended. My cousin’s wedding is coming up, and Grandma may forbid me to attend, which will affect whether my Mum will decide to go. So much drama! Should I just cut the toxic people out of my life or try to figure out how to fix this situation?

Tonight’s Think Tank question: A good friend who I’ve raided with for many years confided in me that he’s having serious health concerns. He may either pass away or be fine, and no one knows what may happen. I’ve never dealt with death before. I don't want to lose my friend and I want him to know how much he means to me without being depressing. What can I do to express my feelings, honor him if he's gone, and break the news if I get the bad news?

Tonight’s Think Tank listener question: I feel like no matter what I do, it doesn’t matter in the end. I don’t have hobbies or many friends, and my brain tells me why would it matter if I did anyway? I work evenings so it makes me feel even more isolated from people. It also makes it hard for me to take care of my weight and health. What do I do?

Tonight’s Think Tank listener question: Does unconditional love between two romantic partners actually exist? We all have "conditions" for our relationships, whether that is sexual fidelity or gainful employment or refraining from physical violence towards one another.  When those conditions aren't met, the relationship is no longer sustainable. So why do we hold onto the myth of unconditional love? Be a part of the show by sending your Tell Us One Thing questions, feedback, and requests for advice to [email protected].

Tonight’s Think Tank question:  I am sad. Very, very sad. I feel like I am just coasting and waiting to die. I know, with certainty, that I need help. We are told that we have so many avenues but we actually don’t. What do you do when you are so connected with everyone but are so very alone?

Tonight’s Think Tank question: I own a house with a friend, but he rarely takes care of his share of the chores, leaves things untidy for weeks, doesn’t do the grocery shopping, etc. He says he doesn’t want to waste his time doing these things and needs the weekends to relax. How do I motivate him to do his share?  Be a part of the show by sending your Tell Us One Thing questions, feedback, and requests for advice to [email protected]. Slash Moo, everybody!
