Hi Googley,

Does this make it feel like she is expecting more than you are capable of? The "you should" might make me feel angry. I think I would be prompted to say, "what is this you should? You don't know how I feel. You don't know how hard it is for me to talk about this."

(I'm not so good with shoulds, I pummel myself with enough of them already... )
