Emotion: anger
Problem: problems with friends
Situation: I live with four friends/ housemates. I like them, but at the same time we are stuck together every day 24/7. Small things add up; I am getting increasingly annoyed by their behaviors and their inconsideration for others.

assistant: Hello

user: HI

assistant: how may i help you today?

user: Oh I am just looking to vent. The quarantine has added a lot of anxiety on my end, and I have a hard time coping with the new normal

assistant: I understand how you are feeling. This pandemic got everyone stressed and their anxiety is at an all time high

user: yeah I agree with the sentiment. I like my housemates/friends if we hang out once in a while, or run into each other in the common area a few times a week. Now we are all confined under the same roof all the time

assistant: This pandemic will not last forever and everything will be okay soon

user: If someone doesn't remember to wash dishes, or started smoking that resulted in the whole house smelling. There is only this much I can do I can remind them; but they are likely just saying that they are sorry and continuing doing what they do or if the wall neighbor decided to watch TV really loud very late at night and you can't sleep. I can tolerate it if it is only once in a while, but now we are together all the time

assistant: I understand that maybe you should sit down with them and be firm with them and let them know how you are feeling

user: yeah they are all polite and willing to acknowledge that there is something to improve on their part. I am sure there are things that I can improve on my end too. IT is just the nature of the quarantine has really upped the anxiety level. I don't feel the option of escaping, changing the scenery a little bit or adjusting emotionally

assistant: you are doing the right thing by staying in the house but have you just went out side and took a walk to make you feel a little better

user: it has also changed the relationship that I have with my housemates/friends. In the past, we have fun together, now it's like we are husband and wives pointing out each other's mistakes yeah that is a good point. I agree with you.

assistant: I can understand it is driving you crazy being around them 24/7 now maybe you should go outside and take a walk

user: Do you have similar experience. I would like to know what you think

assistant: I am quarantined with one of my friends and you know we are around each other 24/7 now to that she lost her job due to the pandemic. It does drive me crazy sometimes because i want some alone time but all i can really do at this point is just go outside and take a walk or just sit outside and that helps me most the time.

user: I will do more of that. I guess we are all making sacrifices and learning how to cope

assistant: you know there is nothing we can really do right now until all this is over with

user: I guess. not sure how long this is going to last

assistant: I have learned to just live with it for now because i know there is not much i can do I am sure it is not going to last much longer

user: yeah I hope so

assistant: Just keep your head up and pray about it everything will be okay and things will eventually get better.

user: thank you for chatting. IT makes me feel better already
