usr : ye since an year..Iam feeling an emptyness in my life
usr : Do you suggest anything to come out of this
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I am sorry to hear that. It must be difficult. I have gone through a lot of breakups in my life too, and I know what you are going through.
usr : yeah how do you manage after your breakup
sys : (Others) Has the sadness eased over time in the past year? Were you consciously taking some measures to get over the stage?
usr : Yeah iam implementing of taking a new hobby which is distracting me a little
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) On average it takes me about a year to get over this. I feel like there is no better person for me, I don't know what the future brings, and I am imaging all the scenarios where past relationships could have been successful for me. I took a lot of walks and spent a lot of time with friends.
usr : yeah those are two good strategies to follow..I will be considering them
usr : Do you have used any counselling?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I didn't. I wasn't able to afford them. I actually felt bad about venting the situation to my friends. They offered a lot of emotional support and I am sure they didn't want to seeing me like this.

usr : you had a friend like this before you say? how did you deal with it?
usr : as in what was the end result for you both, in your case? just curious
usr : i may email him but i'm not sure....i don't want it to end up being an argument, i don't have the mental energy for that...(covid situation has left me mentally depleted)
sys : (Information) So I cut it off completely because she was starting to be destructive. She called me selfish because I did not want to hang out with her during COVID. We met up and talked about it, but she was out of hand and I quit the friendship.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) But I think the best thing is to have some time alone and think about it.
usr : that's interesting....another covid-induced conflict

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anger regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says
"my close friend became an avid antivaxxer and felt it was his job to pressure me over it...he wouldn't drop it and so i had to cut off communication, at least for now.". | usr : hi
sys : (Question) Hi, how are you doing?
usr : oh i am totally pissed off at my friend
usr : he is an intelligent person....and was (is?) a close friend...but...he became an antivaxxer....critical of me for wanting a covid vaccine
usr : it became unbearable....i got so mad i just cut off communication....i don't understand his pushiness.
sys : (Question) Oh that's not good. Has he been putting pressure on you not to get the vaccine?
usr : yes
usr : i said "lets agree to disagree" but he could not accept that
usr : it's like he felt it was his duty to "save me"
usr : i feel disrespected, basically
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know it can be really frustrating. I 've had a friend like that before. Would cutting him out of your life make you more upset?
usr : i'm not sure...but i have...and i miss him!
sys : (Question) Or would you like to continue the relationship, but maybe not now?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I think that's something you need to think about.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I mean he sounds kind of important to you that it's making you feel like this.
usr : i think maybe once covid blows over things might get back to where they were, i think that's what i want
usr : but part of me is just hurt and doesn't want something like this to happen again with him
usr : he is important to me, yes
usr : we have been friends for 20 years, he's one of my oldest friends
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I really understand how you feel. Honestly the best thing I did was cool off a little and think how I want to take this friendship forward.

usr : as in what was the end result for you both, in your case? just curious
usr : i may email him but i'm not sure....i don't want it to end up being an argument, i don't have the mental energy for that...(covid situation has left me mentally depleted)
sys : (Information) So I cut it off completely because she was starting to be destructive. She called me selfish because I did not want to hang out with her during COVID. We met up and talked about it, but she was out of hand and I quit the friendship.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) But I think the best thing is to have some time alone and think about it.
usr : that's interesting....another covid-induced conflict
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I know right.
usr : i like your idea of taking some time...that seems like a sensible path forward
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Think about all the good and bad stuff that has happened between you two and see if it's worth keeping this friendship.
sys : (Information) Don't really let your emotions take over. Think logically with a clear head.
usr : hmmm yes....maybe I will journal about it to get my thoughts clear
usr : okay
sys : (Others) I hope this helped. You guys may see each other and forget all about it. Laugh about it later.
usr : i can't figure out if covid has brought people together or torn them apart, honestly
usr : lol i hope you're right
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I think it has been tearing people apart because of everyone's different beliefs.
usr : covid seems to have brought out a lot of strong feelings in some people
usr : i tend to think you are right....but early on people were rallying together it seemed....but that didn't last long
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I also think staying in the house too long has really made us bored and tired and kind of out of our minds lol.
usr : maybe by fall society will become more cohesive again, what do you think?
usr : hahaha yes totally
sys : (Others) I hope so. I'm starting kind of a new life and I want to get on with it.
sys : (Others) I think we all want to get on with our lives
usr : oh really? what kind of a new life?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I'm really happy you are getting the vaccine. I just got mine yesterday.
usr : i need a vaccine...then i can restart my old life
usr : wooohoooooooo congrats!!!
usr : any side effects?
usr : which did you get?
| (Information) I just graduated, I'm going to Grad school in the fall and getting married. That's my life : ) |
### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anger regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says
"my close friend became an avid antivaxxer and felt it was his job to pressure me over it...he wouldn't drop it and so i had to cut off communication, at least for now.". | usr : hi
sys : (Question) Hi, how are you doing?
usr : oh i am totally pissed off at my friend
usr : he is an intelligent person....and was (is?) a close friend...but...he became an antivaxxer....critical of me for wanting a covid vaccine
usr : it became unbearable....i got so mad i just cut off communication....i don't understand his pushiness.
sys : (Question) Oh that's not good. Has he been putting pressure on you not to get the vaccine?
usr : yes
usr : i said "lets agree to disagree" but he could not accept that
usr : it's like he felt it was his duty to "save me"
usr : i feel disrespected, basically
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know it can be really frustrating. I 've had a friend like that before. Would cutting him out of your life make you more upset?
usr : i'm not sure...but i have...and i miss him!
sys : (Question) Or would you like to continue the relationship, but maybe not now?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I think that's something you need to think about.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I mean he sounds kind of important to you that it's making you feel like this.
usr : i think maybe once covid blows over things might get back to where they were, i think that's what i want
usr : but part of me is just hurt and doesn't want something like this to happen again with him
usr : he is important to me, yes
usr : we have been friends for 20 years, he's one of my oldest friends
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I really understand how you feel. Honestly the best thing I did was cool off a little and think how I want to take this friendship forward.
usr : you had a friend like this before you say? how did you deal with it?
