Feeling unheard and not being able to make sense
The guest, Michelle, discusses her struggle with not feeling heard and being unable to effectively communicate her thoughts and ideas. She explains that sometimes she feels like she's talking gibberish or that people are not following her. This issue has occurred frequently in her interactions with her mother, where she feels her mother doesn't understand what she's trying to say. Michelle attributes this feeling to her desire for people to ask clarifying questions and truly listen to her. She also mentions feeling a sense of seriousness and bitterness since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and wonders if these emotions are connected to the loss of her stepfather, who was the one person she felt truly understood and heard her.
