The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about disgust regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says
"My friend is selfish and talks too much on the phone. It is annoying.". | usr : Yo
sys : (Question) Hi, how are you doing?
usr : I am decent. I am here because my friend talks way too much on the phone, and it frustrates me.
usr : They never want to hang up, and the talk can literally go on for hours.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It sounds like it would be quite frustrating for your friend to talk way too much on the phone.
usr : No, he loves it! I'm the one who hates it.
sys : (Question) My goodness! How do they respond when you ask to end the conversation?
usr : I tell him, but he just doesn't get it. Or, he says he understands, but then just goes back to talking!
usr : Or, he may finally end the talk, but the next time we talk, he will just do it all over again!
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I wonder what it would be like for him if you hung up the phone even after he said he still wanted to talk.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Wow--that does sound annoying that he will repeat the same pattern the next time.
usr : He will literally talk up to 10 minutes without letting you have a word in. As far as that advice, I have hung up, but he gets extremely offended easily.
sys : (Self-disclosure) That sounds really difficult if he gets offended so easily. I find it hard to talk to some of those kinds of friends.
usr : I'm at my wits end. I tell him all the time. "You talk too much. You gotta stop talking at me. You gotta give the other person a turn. You gotta respect other's time."
sys : (Question) What do you get out of the friendship with this other person?
usr : Well, I've been friends with him for a long time. He's funny and can have interesting perspectives on things. Also, we have done a lot together in the past.
| (Question) That sounds like a lot that the two of you have been through. Were there other times that your friends was more equally responsive or attuned to you in conversations? |

sys : (Self-disclosure) The strategy works well for me with some of my family members who seem like they will never change. But, with distraction, I enjoy them all the more.
usr : This is true, and it isn't bade advice. Haha! That is funny. Yes, maybe I should find something to carry around with me that I can enjoy.
usr : I don't really like to draw...
sys : (Question) Is there anything else that you like to do that would be distracting while also letting you somewhat participate in the conversation?
usr : Yes, perhaps I should just use the internet when he starts talking too much.
usr : I have a phone.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) That sounds really helpful. Sometimes people also play phone games or with a fidget spinner. I like your idea of looking on the internet. |

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about disgust regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says
"My friend is selfish and talks too much on the phone. It is annoying.". | usr : Yo
sys : (Question) Hi, how are you doing?
usr : I am decent. I am here because my friend talks way too much on the phone, and it frustrates me.
usr : They never want to hang up, and the talk can literally go on for hours.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It sounds like it would be quite frustrating for your friend to talk way too much on the phone.
usr : No, he loves it! I'm the one who hates it.
sys : (Question) My goodness! How do they respond when you ask to end the conversation?
usr : I tell him, but he just doesn't get it. Or, he says he understands, but then just goes back to talking!
usr : Or, he may finally end the talk, but the next time we talk, he will just do it all over again!
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I wonder what it would be like for him if you hung up the phone even after he said he still wanted to talk.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Wow--that does sound annoying that he will repeat the same pattern the next time.
usr : He will literally talk up to 10 minutes without letting you have a word in. As far as that advice, I have hung up, but he gets extremely offended easily.
sys : (Self-disclosure) That sounds really difficult if he gets offended so easily. I find it hard to talk to some of those kinds of friends.
usr : I'm at my wits end. I tell him all the time. "You talk too much. You gotta stop talking at me. You gotta give the other person a turn. You gotta respect other's time."
sys : (Question) What do you get out of the friendship with this other person?
usr : Well, I've been friends with him for a long time. He's funny and can have interesting perspectives on things. Also, we have done a lot together in the past.
sys : (Question) That sounds like a lot that the two of you have been through. Were there other times that your friends was more equally responsive or attuned to you in conversations?
usr : Oh, yes, I have other friends in conversations who can take turns and understand the concept of time just fine.
usr : I just don't know what to do about this guy in particular. I still want to be his friend, but he just doesn't change.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I wonder if there is anything nice you could do for yourself when you are talking to him that would make it easier to talk to him.
usr : Do you think I should just have a timer that goes off at 1 minute and let it beep in his face if he goes on for too long to train him like a monkey?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I can see that you are feeling upset and angry when he talks so much and that is totally understandable.
usr : I just need a method. Talking to him is just not working.
usr : He is hard to condition.
sys : (Information) Would it hurt his feelings to use a timer like that? It may for some other people.
usr : Yea, but I might be able to slip some humour in there to take the edge off because it is so silly.
sys : (Information) Humor is really helpful for a lot of people.
usr : Any other ideas?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Sometimes, people draw or do something else distracting with their hands when talking to someone who dominates the conversation.

usr : This solves the problem in person, but it doesn't solve the talks over the phone, but it has been 15 minutes now and this has been helpful enough. Thank you for your solutions. You have been very supportive and kind to me
usr : I don't want to take up any more of your time. It has been a good conversation.
| (Affirmation and Reassurance) You are very welcome. I wish you all the best! |

Well the ex and I broke up not too long after, and eventually the mother-in-law woman and I got married. My ex lives next door though, and her and my wife bump into each other all the time and sparks tend to fly. It's kind of awkward in the neighborhood.
| (Question) Oooh that's a very complicated situation. They are both adults, I hope even with tension, they don't do anything inappropriate, do they? |

usr : Well, the ex has gotten in the wife's face once or twice, but that's simmered down some. Part of the problem also is that the ex is simultaneously one of the smartest people I've ever met, and also a pretty serious alcoholic. So she's brilliant, but kind of emotionally stunted at the same time.
| (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Ah, those people are the hardest to deal with. If it's too much, have you and your wife considered moving away? |

usr : Hello! I'm just here because recently I haven't felt motivated. I miss my friends and I want to see them and do things, but everytime they offer I am too unmotivated to go out even though I want to. And I live with one of my best friends, and I don't even do anything with her
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you are concerned that you are feeling unmotivated and don't feel like doing anything.
usr : yes prettu much
sys : (Question) Have you felt like this for a while or has it only been a recent change in your feelings and motivation?
usr : It's sort of on and off recently. I'll get little bursts of motivation, and then it quickly goes away. Pretty much every other day
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That must be a real challenge and if it is a recent change it is natural to feel concerned about this.
usr : Oh really? I hope so I'm worried that it isn't natural since I haven't always been like this
| (Self-disclosure) I do not always feel positive and motivated myself and have spoken to a professional in the past which helped me understand why this is, for me it was linked to a lack of sleep. |

sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you thought about brining a friend with you to the store? Someone you are comfortable with? Having someone you are comfortable with may help to calm the anxiety while you are out.
usr : Support groups don't really help stop the Panic Attacks. They cause all sorts of sensations. Fast heart rate, chills, shakes, My brain feels foggy and impersonal.
usr : I do go to the store often with my fiance :)
usr : That has helped a lot
sys : (Self-disclosure) I have also had anxiety in the past when in public places, so I know how it feels to be anxious while out.
usr : Yeah, it's definitely annoying. But it isn't JUST at the store. I was diagnosed with Panic Attack Disorder and even have attacks at home where I freak out.
usr : It's been better since I was on medication but I never feel completely....normal
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Another thing that may help is having some headphones in attached to your phone or an MP3 player so you can have some calming music or something in your ear while you are out.
usr : That's actually a really good idea. Distractions definitely seem to be the way to go for me.
usr : That's probably why art helps so much
| (Self-disclosure) I found that distractions were great for me too! |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"Going to the store gives me Panic Attacks, driving does as well.". | usr : Going to the store gives me Panic Attacks! Driving also makes me highly anxious.
usr : I am on medication but this only seems to help moderately.
sys : (Others) Hello
usr : Hi
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So just to ensure that I understand you correctly, you are feeling anxious about going to the store during the pandemic
usr : No. This has been going on before the pandemic
usr : COVID didn't cause my anxiety
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Okay, so just general anxiety about it then.
usr : Yessir
sys : (Question) How long have you had this anxiety issue?
usr : Only the past couple of years. It came on suddenly at a nail salon after I had an allergic reaction to a chemical in acrylic nails.
usr : Originally the doctors thought it was brain inflammation.
usr : What suggestions do you have for improving it?
usr : Meditation?
usr : Exercise?
usr : I do art. And never have anxiety when I'm painting, however, I cannot exactly do that at the store

sys : (Self-disclosure) I found that distractions were great for me too!
usr : I wonder if it should be calming music or music that I generally feel like dancing too
usr : I know that sometimes calming music kinda makes me more centered and aware of myself which can exacerbate the problems sometimes.
usr : I usually listen to music loudly when Im in my car to help with the anxiety
usr : Of course, I always think its working then I get to the store and my hands hurt from gripping my steering wheel so hard XD
| (Others) Whatever music you think would be best would be a good idea. |

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says
"I have a friend that has admitted that she was using heroin. She got help and is now on suboxone. However, I am not sure if she is really off the heroin. I will talk to her and it is like she gets sleepy and nods off. I have talked to her and she gets mad and denies and says I am not supporting her getting help and that this is why addicts go back to drugs because they are always accused.". | usr : Are you there?
usr : Just wanting advise on how to handle this?
sys : (Question) yes i am here, how are you today? what is the problem your having?
sys : (Others) hello im here thank you. how are you feeling today? whats the prpoblem your having?
sys : (Question) hello. what are you having problems with?
usr : Can you not see my problem above?
sys : (Others) what are you habving issues with today
usr : I wrote a long issue above
sys : (Others) sorry i was having technical difficutlties, but i did not receive a message regarding what your having issues with. can you tell me again please
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) im sorry about that, but im here to help you as much as i can
usr : I have a friend that was using heroin. She said that she has quit and is getting help and is now on suboxone. However, I am not sure if that is the case. There are times that I am talking with her and she has droopy sleepy eyes and kinda nods off. I have comfronted her but she denies any drug use and gets mad and says this is why addicts go back because they get acussed even when they arent using. Any advise on what I should do? Should I just leave it alone and home that she is getting the help she needs? She has 3 kids too.

usr : I just dont want to make her mad and steer her away from me
| (Question) are you familiar with anyone else that knows her and her situation and have they shared the same concern? the issue is, suboxone is a narcotic as well, so if shes still getting used to the effects of suboxone, it may seem like shes still using heroin, when in reality shes just struggling getting used to the suboxone |
