Self-disclosure
You met with your friends? I've tried meeting with my friends. I feel ok when I'm with them, but then later, I feel sad again. I can't spend all my time with my friends, of course. They have things to do. So do I.

assistant
Providing Suggestions
No, I haven't tried yoga. I thought it was for women. Therapy? You mean like a shrink?
user

yoga is not only for women, and yes therapy like a shrink but you don't have to talk to anybody if you do yoga or meditating
assistant

Oh, meditating by myself? I would need someone to help me learn. Is yoga expensive? I don't have much money.
user

yoga is not expensive and meditation doesn't have to be with anyone, you can use YouTube video as your tutor. It has work for soo many people including my self
assistant

Ok. I'll check out YouTube. Do I need special clothes or equipment? Or incense or candles or lotoins or something? I'm just a regular guy.
