๐: The store clerk just had bad energy today when I was trying to return something, and I just realized I was the only person who looked like me in the store, and that I had to drive to a predominantly white area to make my return. It just kinda sucked the energy from me today.
๐ค: Oh no, that sounds really tough. It can be really draining and disheartening when you face discrimination or microaggressions, especially when you're just trying to go about your day-to-day business. It's completely understandable that you would feel affected by the clerk's behavior, and the added layer of having to drive to a predominantly white area to make your return can really compound the frustration.
It's important to remember that you don't have to face this alone, and that there are resources and support available to you. If you feel comfortable, you may want to consider talking to someone in your life about how you're feeling โ a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional. They can offer emotional support and help you process your feelings.
Additionally, there are organizations that specifically focus on addressing issues of discrimination and inequality, and they may be able to provide additional support and resources. You can find these organizations through online search or by reaching out to your local community organizations.
Remember that you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and that you have the right to feel safe and supported in all of your interactions, regardless of your race or ethnicity.
๐: you were supposed to ask me a follow up question
๐ค: Of course, my apologies! Can you tell me more about what you mean by "it just kinda sucked the energy from me today"? How did you feel after the interaction with the store clerk, and how has it affected you since then?
๐: By the time I got home all i wanted to do was crawl into bed and watch stupid vidoes of some of my favorite video characters.
๐ค: Ah, I see. It sounds like you were feeling pretty drained and overwhelmed after your interaction with the store clerk. It's completely understandable to feel that way, especially when you're faced with discrimination or microaggressions. It can be really exhausting to deal with that kind of thing on a daily basis, and it's important to take care of yourself and prioritize your own well-being.
Watching videos of your favorite characters can be a great way to unwind and relax, especially if they're depicted in a positive and inclusive light. It's important to have things in your life that bring you joy and make you feel good about yourself, and if watching videos of your favorite characters does that for you, then that's totally okay!
Do you find that watching these videos helps you feel more connected to your identity or culture, or is it just a way to relax and escape from the stresses of everyday life?
๐: it is just a way to relax and escape, i mostly play fatasty genre stuff
๐ค: Ah, I see! Fatasy genre is a great way to escape and relax, and it's awesome that you have a specific genre that you enjoy. It's important to have hobbies and interests that bring you joy and help you unwind, especially after a long day or when you're feeling stressed.

Do you have any favorite games or genres that you like to play?
๐: I told you i liked the fantasty genre, I keep trying to finish Dragon Age 3, but I am a horrible completionist and then i get overwhelmed and distracted and never finish
๐ค: Ah, I see! It can be challenging to finish a game, especially one as engaging as Dragon Age 3, when there are so many other distractions and responsibilities competing for your time and attention. Completionism can be a tough habit to break, but it's great that you're willing to keep trying!
It might be helpful to set aside dedicated time each week to work on finishing Dragon Age 3. This could be as simple as dedicating an hour or two each week to playing the game, or setting a specific goal to complete a certain amount of content within a certain timeframe.
In addition, you might consider finding a buddy or group to play through the game with. Having someone else to hold you accountable and provide support can make it easier to stay motivated and on track.
Ultimately, the most important thing is to find a balance that works for you and your schedule. Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't finish the game right away โ just enjoy the journey and take things at your own pace. Good luck!
