Instead of just replying to me, people started replying to each other, and they started to talk to each other and share their own experiences and comfort each other and encourage each other to reach out to that friend that they hadn't spoken to in a while or that family member that they had a falling out with.
En vez de solo responderme a mí, la gente comenzó a responderse entre sí, y comenzaron a hablar entre ellos, a compartir sus propias experiencias, a consolarse entre sí y a alentarse mutuamente  para acercarse a ese amigo con quien no hablaban desde hace mucho, o ese familiar con quien se pelearon.
