Emotion: anger
Problem: academic pressure
Situation: I am mad at my professor for giving me a 0 on a test.

user: hi

assistant: Hello

user: how are you?

assistant: I am good, how are you?

user: I am feeling okay, a little upset.

assistant: What is making you upset tonight?

user: i was mad, but now i am just upset. My professor put in grades for my class earlier this week. My grade dropped 5 points and i do not have an A anymore.

assistant: Just to make sure I understand, you got a bad grade in one of your classes and your grade dropped below an A and you are upset about it.

user: yes that is right

assistant: Have you talked to your professor about the reason for the grade you got that dropped your grade below an A? Often it helps to understand what we did wrong in order to know what we can do to improve.

user: Yes I have, she said she explain the rules out in the syllabus and would not change it. SHe gave our whole class a 0 on the final.

assistant: Have you reached out to your advisor to speak with them on the situation? Often times your advisor is able to help with advice on what to do in this type of situation.

user: No, i have talked to my advisor once and she is not that helpful as she is a professor herself. She told me its okay if I dont have an A, I am still passing. I just worked hard all semester, just to end with a 89.9.

assistant: I had a similar situation last semester where I held an A in my class all semester long until the end when it dropped to a B+ so I comletely understand the frustration here.

user: Yea i understand that is happens to a lot of people, and we just have to move on and learn. That is hwy im not mad anymore just upset.

assistant: I know it is extremely difficult to do that when you really want to keep your grades up, but I know you can get through this!

user: I am going to try my best next semester so that this does not happen again.

assistant: You will do a great job! '

user: I really hope so, thank you

assistant: You are very welcome! If you ever need anything else, feel free to chat again!

user: I feel okay now, thank you!
Emotion: disgust
Problem: problems with friends
Situation: I don't like any of my friends. In fact, I don't think I like anyone.

assistant: Hello, how are you feeling today?

user: feeling disgust as usual. yourself?

assistant: I have been feeling a little low too. Would you like to tell me a bit about why you are disgusted with yourself?

user: well, i'm not disgusted with myself... it's just people in general. everybody.. they're so selfish any they all care about superifical things

assistant: Ah yes, this has been especially obvious during the pandemic hasn't it? Too many people not following the social distancing rules

user: well, you could say that. take christmas, for example. people give everyone else gifts out of obligation

assistant: Do you feel that the pandemic has made you feel worse? Or have you felt like this for a long time?

user: a long time. more as i age. i'm actually tired about hearing about the pandemic, really. it is all people ever talk about. more people are probably dying of obesity eating themselves to death

assistant: Well, it is a pretty significant issue this year :). Re obesity, have you considered doing something to raise awareness?

user: I think it would be beating a dead horse. Ober half the population is overweight. People would just need to be blind not to see it. That's kind of my point. Everything is consume... consume.. consume.... buy buy buy

assistant: So you feel as though there is no bright side - that everything is just artificial and superficial?

user: well... you can't really do anything without money. it all kind of rides on it, doesn't it? what you can buy?

assistant: I don't mean to sound twee but there are things out there in life that can be appreciated for free :)

user: Yea, a few things here and there. Nature, let's say. But nature doesn't really give one way or another about you. My friends have a lot of money, though, and none of them are even happy. thats even more saddening

assistant: I know what you mean about that. I know plenty of people who spend too much of their life working every hour and it leaves them no time to appreciate their money!

user: Yea, I know, right. I have one friends who has probably about 100k in the bank, and he will complain if he spent 4 cents too much on gas over another gas station.

assistant: People like that are irritating, certainly. I am not sure what the solution is, other than to ignore them.

user: yea, it's hard, though, because sooner or later it comes out in almost everyone i meet. who knows. maybe even i do it and don't even know it. thats scary, you know at least your honest

assistant: Well, the fact that you can reflect on it indicates to me that you are probably not guilty. Most of those who do this are totally unaware. It has been really nice chatting to you and I hope that things go your way in 2021. You seem like good person :)

user: Thanks. Probably true. sometimes when i bring it up they'll just argue about it and defend themselves. i just try to move on but it is always there. ok. yea it is 15 minutes so bye bye good talking

Emotion: depression
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: I've been depressed for months but now I'm spending Christmas alone and it's the worst.

assistant: Hello!

user: Hi thanks for chatting with me today. I've been really down and could use someone to talk to.

assistant: Of course! What have been down about?

user: I always get sad around the holidays but this year has been so much worse because I'm spending the holidays alone.

assistant: Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I know being alone in the holidays can be rough.

user: All I have to do is think about how alone I am.

assistant: Do you have any friends or people you can set up an online zoom call with?

user: I tried that but no one that I know is tech savvy that can make Zoom work.

assistant: Also I feel that as well. Especially now these days its a bit hard to not think about being alone.

user: I just keep thinking about all the bad things happening in the world right now. If I had someone to spend time with I'm sure it would take my mind off of it but people aren't allowed to get together.

assistant: Oh how about just texting or having periodic phone calls with friends? Yeah the pandemic has really stopped interactions. But that doesn't mean you can't stop talking to people completely!

user: I try that but everyone is busy with their families today. I don't have a family so I'm all alone.

assistant: Oh I see I'm so sorry to hear that. Have you tried doing other activities to make your mind off it?

user: I tried watching a movie but my mind starts to wander.

assistant: For me personally doing online gaming is a great way to interact with others and have fun.

user: Maybe I'll try that. Any game suggestions?

assistant: What type of movie were you trying to watch? Maybe choose a happier movie than a sad one.

user: I was watching a comedy. It's a movie I usually like but I just couldn't keep my mind from wandering.

assistant: I would recommend games like Heartstone for stragedy, WoW for more role playing and if your into sci-fi, Cyberpunk cam out recently. Really any game that has multiplayer would be a good fit!

user: I like strategy games. They really make you think which helps distract you from what you don't want to think about!

assistant: Oh sweet me too actually! I definitely recommend heartstone or any game that has a battle mode form

user: Thanks! I'm going to look into playing the game! That might be just what I need to bring me out of this funk!

assistant: Also I know thats its currently the holidays so maybe take your mind off right now and ask your friends later if they can talk!

user: Yes, I'm sure they'll have more free time after tomorrow!

assistant: I'm glad I can help! Is there anything else you would like to talk about>

user: No, I'm ready to look into the game! No, thank you! I'm ready to get going and look into playing the game you suggested!
Emotion: anxiety
Problem: ongoing depression
Situation: I'm having trouble with making my parents understand who I am.

user: Hello

assistant: Hi, how are you feeling today?

user: I'm feeling a bit confused and anxious.

assistant: okay, that is valid, do you have an idea what is causing the confusion?

user: So I've been dating and my parents are aware. But recently after I said I want to go on a trip with my boyfriend, my parents have all sorts of opinions about it. And all their traditional beliefs that I did not know existed are now on the surface and they are kinda forcing me to follow it. For say they think "bad types of woman" go on trips with their boyfriends and I need to save myself. They have been guilt tripping me and I feel very confused.

assistant: Your feelings are valid and it is okay to feel confused in this situation considering you love your boyfriend and parents Have you tried discussing with your boyfriend to talk to your parents as a means of reassuring them? Or getting someone neutral that your parents trust to talk to them?

user: I have. It's been a long stressful month of discussion. The problem is I don't share their beliefs, and I haven't been really "saving myself". I'm been living away from them for collage quite a while and I've been basically doing stuff that if they found out they would be very upset about. But I didn't think it bothers them because they never shared any of this. And they said if I go on this trip I'm disrespecting them and the entire family. But his parents are totally cool and don't seem to mind.

assistant: I get how difficult and upsetting this situation is to you, i have been in a similar situation, however, in my case i took charge of my life, though they are my parents i did what i felt is good for me Before i continue, do you mind me asking how old you are?

user: I'm 26 And I see what you're saying. It's really hard breaking free because they always monitored me my entire life. I never had a voice for myself. They basically bullied and forced me to do what they wanted. BTW if you didn't guess I'm their favorite child.

assistant: Okay, you are old enough to be away from your parents, i am going to suggest you sitting with them down and having a heart to heart discussion with them Let them know the consequences of them forcing you, your feelings towards it and how unhappy you are with them restricting you

user: Should I tell them everything I did that goes against what they believe? So they know that I don't share their beliefs ?

assistant: No, i think that should be personal to you, i would not suggest you hurting or making them see you as a disappointment I am sure you will be fine after discussing with them, they will come around

user: I guess worst case I won't talk to them for a while : ) Thank you , that helped.

assistant: They might be sad and upset now but they will get over it definitely You are welcome

user: Have a good one!
Emotion: anxiety
Problem: academic pressure
Situation: I have a very stressful meeting tomorrow morning. I'm feeling nervous and anxious about it.

assistant: Hi there, what is life like for you right now?

user: Pretty stressful. I'm a little bit anxious about school.

assistant: So you're worried about your studies? I will try to help if I can. Please tell me all you can.

user: Thank you. I am finishing up my third year in college so I have some career decisions to make. I'm also trying to find a job for this summer related to what I want to study.

assistant: Are you finding that things are being made difficult because of the pandemic?

user: Yes. Most of my classes are online. I really miss my friends and family.

assistant: I hear you. I think we're all really suffering at the moment. Are you getting any support?

user: I do live with three of my friends so it's nice to have their support. I'm glad I'm not alone

assistant: What sort of thing do you want to go into when your studies are over?

user: I'm studying psychology, I want to become a therapist or social worker

assistant: That is a really worth profession. Have you thought of doing some volunteer work before you graduate?

user: Yes! I am trying to get a job at a suicide hotline for the summer

assistant: That is an awesome thing to do though it could be very mentally draining. Do you feel up to it?

user: I know I'm up to it, but this week I've been having a hard time Just struggling to stay motivated in school

assistant: Don't put yourself under too much pressure if you are suffering yourself.

user: I try not to. Sometimes it's hard to put myself first

assistant: I think a lot of people who work helping other people have that sort of problem - it's too easy to neglect yourself.

user: It's good to hear I'm not alone in feeling this way

assistant: Is there anything else you'd like to tell me about how you're feeling right now?

user: I got a job offer today, I'm very proud of myself!

assistant: That sounds wonderful - is it the sort of job you were really looking for?

user: Sort of. It's an opportunity to work for one of my favorite professors over the summer. I'm still going to work on that suicide hotline job as well

assistant: Don't over extend yourself though. Make sure to give yourself plenty of you time.

user: That's a good point. I struggle with that.

assistant: Maybe set aside a few hours each week where you do something just for you, even if someone else claims that they need you.

user: I will try that! Okay, thank you so much for your advice. I'm going to log off now. This has been very helpful.
Emotion: anxiety
Problem: breakup with partner
Situation: My friend didn't like it that he dumped me. She told him he was an idiot to do that.

assistant: How can I help you

user: hi. my friend told my ex boyfriend he was an idiot for dumping me. it made me feel uncomfortable since i was in the same room. now he is talking to me again. i think he might want me back

assistant: What are your thoughts on the relationship?

user: my feelings fluctuate. i resent him that he ended it. it confuses me he still wants to be in my life. he said he wanted to be friends but then asked me out again. i think he is trying to work his way back in. i know i can't keep it up unless he makes it clear he wants to be with me. i don't have time for games

assistant: That does sound hard that he is giving mixed signals.

user: yeah i don't like that. neither does my friend. why she told him he is an idiot for letting me go

assistant: Do you think he took your friend's comments seriously?

user: yes cuz that's when he wanted me to be around him more

assistant: It sounds like your friend got him thinking.

user: it seemed like it did

assistant: Do you feel his change is genuine?

user: to a degree. i think he has ulterior motives too.

assistant: What would he have to do to prove himself?

user: say he wants me back or something to that effect. i'd like him to be more direct in what he wants from me

assistant: It sounds like it would help if he were direct with you and not sending mixed signals. Is that correct? It sounds like it would help if he were direct with you and not sending mixed signals. Is that correct?

user: yes that would be nice. he tends to beat around the bush then lets me know

assistant: Have you talked to anyone else besides your friend about your concerns? Do you think your family or other friends could give some additional support to you?

user: yes i've talked to them about it. they've given me some insight into it. i know they want me to be careful. they don't want me to be hurt

assistant: That's understandable that they want you to be careful. My parents and friends watched out for me too.

user: we are lucky they look out for us. they can't all be wrong if they're guiding us a certain way

assistant: I think you hit the nail on the head that it's helpful to have that support.

user: absolutely. i appreciate your help! nity nite

assistant: Thanks. Can I assist you with anything else?

user: nope. im good
