But she needs to recognize why it may not be petty to him, especially if it involves an ex. Our next caller has an issue with over-romanticizing her relationships and future-tripping way before she should be. Low energy is the issue with our next caller. She has an issue with people meeting her and assuming she is awkward only to come to the realization she is not. Finally, we speak with someone who doesn't know if she should tell the guy she is going to a music festival with that she likes him for the fear of making it weird if he rejects her.
