(Providing Suggestions) True. Remember, you are not the only one facing these troubles, others are tackling it too. Try also to google online support groups on Reddit and blogs for additional assistance and suggestions from those who faced it and succeeded. Doing what others did to overcome it means not having to reinvent the whole process on your own.

### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about disgust regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says "one of my friends cheated on her boyfriend.".

usr : Hi can you help me with my problem? sys : (Question) Hello. What's on your mind? usr : I'm disgusted with my friend for cheating on her boyfriend. Am I right to feel this way? sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Your feelings are valid, no matter what they are. sys : (Question) Why do you think you're disgusted with her? usr : Because she's not acting the way she should be acting. usr : Her boyfriend is a nice guy so he doesn't deserve this treatment sys : (Reflection of feelings) It sounds like she did something you find really immoral. sys : (Question) Is their relationship generally pretty good, to your knowledge? usr : Yeah, but I'm also thinking it's not my business. I should just stay out of it. usr : Well I thought it was good until that happened. He doesn't know. So I just feel gross around them. sys : (Question) Have you talked to your friend about what she did? usr : Yeah, she doesn't really care because she's not going to tell him. I'm questioning whether I should still be friends with her. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You're definite right to be questioning if this is the sort of person you want to be friends with. usr : It's hard to stop thought because we work at the same place. usr : though.. sys : (Providing Suggestions) If her behavior is getting to you like this, I definitely suggest you try to keep some distance from her as much as you can. usr : Yeah, I've been trying to, but she's always talking to me sys : (Providing Suggestions) It might be a good idea to explain why you're upset with her, even though that's likely to upset her. usr : I guess, but I'd rather just avoid her. usr : I'm thinking if I ignore her then she usr : she'll get the hint sys : (Reflection of feelings) I can definitely understand wanting to avoid a confrontation. usr : Yeah, I realize she's quite selfish so confronting her wouldn't help. sys : (Question) What do you think you can do to minimize your contact with her? usr : Just not respond to her messages and avoid the areas she's in sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds like a good plan. usr : Is that ghosting?

(Information) What one person calls ghosting, someone else can call looking out for yourself.

(Reflection of feelings) It sounds like she knows why you're upset with her and would be able to understand why you're choosing not to talk to her.

### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about fear regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says "I'm fearful of where I'll be living in the future.".

usr : I've tried this before and there wasn't anyone on the support side... usr : I also tried to be the supporter but I think the screen froze at some point. I couldn't complete that side. So, I'm trying this again. Not sure if I got credit for the others. usr : Hoping I won't be punished with a rejection for talking to myself.

(Restatement or Paraphrasing) Hello how are you? I am here to support you.

(Self-disclosure) I understand. I have had to stay by myself for most of the year due to the pandemic. That has been hard.

(Others) Have you tried different games that help you get to know each other? Maybe try a movie or series. I loved Sweet Magnolia's on Netflix.

She's too obsessed with CNN to watch anything else. usr : She's become brainwashed by the tabloid media...

(Providing Suggestions) Oh my goodness. The good thing is there is a moratorium on evictions so she would not be able to do that legally. CNN can be overwhelming. Try giving her some type of distraction. Suggest yoga or some type of bonding.

(Information) As long as you have property there she would have to formally evict you. That is the good news.

Maybe try a movie or series. I loved Sweet Magnolia's on Netflix. usr : I'm mainly worried that she'll throw me out of the house and I'll have no where to live. usr : Oh god forbid we watch a movie. She's too obsessed with CNN to watch anything else. usr : She's become brainwashed by the tabloid media... sys : (Providing Suggestions) Oh my goodness. The good thing is there is a moratorium on evictions so she would not be able to do that legally. CNN can be overwhelming. Try giving her some type of distraction. Suggest yoga or some type of bonding. sys : (Reflection of feelings) I think 24/7 news is problematic but here to stay. usr : I actually do yoga every evening. She hates it. I'm living in her home without a lease, so I wonder if she can just tell me to leave. usr : I can't imagine why anyone would want to watch the news for more than to just catch up (If you like lies and nonsense) sys : (Information) As long as you have property there she would have to formally evict you. That is the good news. usr : That is good news. Thanks for letting me know that. sys : (Others) I think it is best to stick with a short local news report. sys : (Information) My pleasure. So many people are worried about losing their place to stay but thankfully most are protected due to the pandemic. usr : I just found mturk. I just started here. Any advice as to what to do? I've mainly just been doing surveys. I'm not good at the small tasks. sys : (Information) Check Youtube videos on using Panda's. It will help you make more money. I have done over 750,000 hits. usr : Oh wow, that's amazing! I've done this particular hit 3 times...I've only found a person once though. I will definitely check out the videos. thank you! usr : What are pandas? Or is it too hard to explain? sys : (Providing Suggestions) You are welcome. Panda's help you keep grabbing hits. You can store 25 at a time. usr : Oh, I see. Great! Thanks so much for chatting with me and for the advice. usr : It's been nice to have someone new to vent to. :)

(Reflection of feelings) Have a great night and take care of yourself. It has been a pleasure.

Has school from home had anegative affect on you? usr : Yeah, I feel like I can't focus because I'm back home with my family and I just feel like there are so many distractions.

(Restatement or Paraphrasing) It's interesting that you find being home more distracting than being away in a dorm.

I dont really have my own space when I'm here. usr : People just come in and out of my room as they please in spite of how busy I am.

(Reflection of feelings) Yeah sometimes families can struggle with the idea of boundaries.

(Self-disclosure) I also went away to school for similar reasons, but I actually found college life way more distracting tbh.

Maybe that's crazy. I just remember how proud they were when I got this scholarship. I don't want them to blame me.

(Reflection of feelings) OK, that makes sense.
