Emotion: sadness
Problem: problems with friends
Situation: I feel like my friends don't care about me at all. When we get together all they want to do is talk about their lives. When I raise something that is bothering me they just make some trite response and then move back to what they want to talk about.

assistant: How may I help you?

user: Hi I am feeling quite sad today.

assistant: Ohh, sorry to hear that. Any partucular reason?

user: Yes I feel like my friends just don't care about me much at all.

assistant: You saying that your friend does not care about you any more. Is that correct?

user: Yes, when we get together all they want to do is talk about themselves. When I raise something that is bothering me they just ignore what I say and go back to what they want to talk about.

assistant: That's not good. You must be feeling left out.

user: Yes I feel left out and unsupported by them.

assistant: Any particular reason they are doing such thing?

user: Well I think they don't care about me and are just selfish about their needs.

assistant: In that case, should you consider them as your friends?

user: Well they are the only friends I have and I have known them a long time. Do you think I should stop being friends with them ?

assistant: If someone is not friendly they are not real friend. You need to find someone who will stand by you no matter what..

user: Oh well that makes me feel sad too. I will be saying goodbye to some long friendships. Do you think that is the only answer ?

assistant: Ok.. how about hosting them in your place for a gettogether..

user: Ok how do you think that would help me ?

assistant: They might open up if you are hosting .. people are generally nice to the host..

user: Yes that is true, it's a good idea. I could also take the opportunity to tell them how I am feeling.

assistant: Good.. let's try that.. Anythign else I could help you with?

user: No you have been very helpful and I feel much better now I have a plan of action to address my problem. Thanks.

user: she does not talk to me anymore blocked me on social media, and goes around and says I am just trying to cause trouble for her

assistant: I think you just give some time to your friend to realize what she is doing now.

user: she is going to loose custody of her child if her ex find out she is always drunk

assistant: oh no it seems to be a big problem

user: I think so and there is no talking to her she does not admit that she has a problem, she is trying to casue issues between me and my husband

assistant: If she is not accepting her fault directly you need to find some other way to make her realize her current situation and consecquence

user: like what for example, talking does not work? so call the cops on her?

assistant: I don't don't calling cops as good. We need to do in some other way to make her realize .

user: not sure what the best way is to deal with this, or should I just step back and let it be if even her husband does not care?

assistant: you can talk to her mother and some other persons close to her and who really cares her

user: not bad and you

assistant: It has been a most interesting week across the board. Been some challenges and hurdles but that makes life the better. Tell me any challenges you are facing right now?

user: the loss of the of my job has been really difficult, possibilities of losing my home and family is really dire

assistant: So it sounds like you lost your livelihood and your concerned of losing everything you have built. It seems like you are lost on what to do now.

user: exactly, my confidence is gone so is my self worth and self esteem.

assistant: Wow. So this was a real punch to the gut for you. Out of curiosity; what work were you doing and how long were you doing it? Wow. So this was a real punch to the gut for you. Out of curiosity; what work were you doing and how long were you doing it? Wow. So this was a real punch to the gut for you. Out of curiosity; what work were you doing and how long were you doing it? Sorry about that. computer glitch

user: I used to work in IT and did it for 14 years

assistant: 14 years? Wow. That is really impressive. It is a very difficult field and it take serious talent to work in IT. Takes real talent and brainpower to work in IT.

user: been doing it long enough for it to be 2nd nature

assistant: So I also take it that not doing it now must feel like you lost part of yourself as well besides the financial risk. Double whammy.

user: yes it does

assistant: This is a large cross to bear. So what do you think your next steps are going to be?

user: I have no idea

assistant: May I throw some ideas out at you?

user: please

assistant: It sounds like your really down right now about your job, family, and your home. It sounds like from what you have mentioned finding work would likely be the best goal to work on right now. What are your thoughts?

user: seems a fair suggestion so getting straight back in the game. thanks for the advice

assistant: IT right now is highly marketable line of work. Given the need for networking and teleconferencing right now you are in demand. And 14 years experience you probably have a competitive advantage in the job market. What do you think your odds of finding a new job are from 0% to 100% right now? I'd bet pretty high. What do you think?

Emotion: sadness
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: I have a daughter who has decided to go live with her dad. I'm having a hard time with this. She is 16. And that's her decision. I'm fine with that part but I'm not fine with her not seeing me or spending time with me. 3 months age I grounded her and she's been upset with me ever since. She needed it though. She was getting out of hand. This is my baby girl. Her dad thinks everything is ok. like it is but I feel I have a right to see my daughter as well.

assistant: Hi there, how are you today?

user: been better how are you?

assistant: I'm doing well, thanks. Is something bothering you?

user: That's good. yes about my daughter. I typed it all in already.

assistant: I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I didn't receive the message you had typed, would you like to talk about it?

user: My daughter is 16 and got out of hand for a little while. I grounded her. And since that time, she has decided to move in with her dad. which is fine. But I've only gotten to see her once in 3 months. She don't want to see me. you there?

assistant: That's tough, I'm sorry. I don't have children of my own yet, but I remember being a teenager and having a similar phase. If it makes you feel any better, I eventually grew out of that phase and have a wonderful relationship with my parents now!

user: That's good.

assistant: With the holidays coming up, maybe that's a good opportunity to reunite and spend some quality time with her?

user: By law though I don't think that my ex husband can keep her from me? I feel like I have a right to see my child. I have 4 kids altogether. My other 2 daughters are older and have already moved out and my son is still at home. I've dealt with teenagers and it's not easy but this is too extreme. I asked about the holidays and she said she didn't know. It's gonna be hard not having her here.

assistant: Does she have a good relationship with her siblings? Maybe they can help convince her to spend some family time at home?

user: She did but not so great anymore. I sure hope so. It's been hard on everybody. especially her little brother.

assistant: Maybe she just needs some time to decompress. Being a teenager is a stressful time, especially this year with everything with COVID. I'm hopeful that she will come out of this phase.

user: I'm gonna keep praying. Thank you. You made me feel better. very true. been a tough year. you've been very helpful. thank you. you have a good day.

assistant: I'm glad I could help! Keep your chin up You too

user: bye
