Itโs important to choose a place where you feel comfortable enough to open-up. You might want to choose somewhere private where youโre less likely to be disturbed. You also might want to talk while you do an activity, like walking together.

Hopefully, you will have a good experience when you open-up to someone. But thereโs a chance that they may not react in the way you hope. This may be for different reasons, like they may be worried or not fully understand at first. If thatโs the case, try to give them time to process what youโve told them.

If youโre worried about someone, try to find a place where you know you can have a conversation without being distracted. Make sure to give them your full attention. It might help to switch off your phone.
