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?
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?
sys : (Information) I just graduated, I'm going to Grad school in the fall and getting married. That's my life : )
sys : (Information) Ok so I was sore and kind of sick.
usr : wow lots of exciting things! which vaccine did you end up getting?
usr : i'm expecting mine within the next couple of weeks, can't wait
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I got pfizer which is the best from what I know. That and Moderna. Don't get any other kind.
usr : oh i won't....astrazenca became available for 55 plus yesterday....NO THANKS
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) If you're not afraid of needles go do it! I really encourage it!
sys : (Information) Just have a lazy day afterwards with some warm soup and Netflix.
usr : well thank you for talking with me....you cheered me up and helped me put my friend situation into perspective....i'll take some time like you suggested to asses my friendship
usr : i don't mind needles...don't even care if i have a fever for a week...all totally worth it :)
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) No problem. It was very nice talking to you. And I hope you're situation with your friend has a happy ending.
| (Reflection of feelings) Oh I agree : ) |

usr : They honored my current contract, but due to rising cost and expenses they are downsizing the company.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) It could be due to the pandemic, I suppose. Are you in touch with government agencies who could help you due to the exceptional circumstances?
usr : Yes I reached out, but unemployment won't help as much, won't cover most of my expenses. I just don't know how to deal and cope from this. I want to change my mindset but it's all at once and I can't deal with it.

usr : Hmm. But what if I spend the fee to get my resume looked at but then don't land a job? Wouldn't it be better to save the money and hedge my bets?
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It seems that you are mixed up in the decision to put in extra funds in a professional resume polish or use your time and energy instead of actual financial means. Is that right?
usr : Exactly. I'm anxious that if I don't get professional help I won't land a job but then on the other hand I'm anxious that if I don't get a job I'll have needed the savings.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Perhaps you should speak to a trusted mentor or a closed loved one and seek their opinion. Often, we need someone outside of the actual situation that can give us great advice.
usr : That's a good idea too. Maybe even someone who recently changed jobs can give me some interview tips! -Even if I get the interview I know I'm going to be anxious about that!
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I understand we can all feel anxious during an interview, but remember what great qualities you can bring to the table and believe in yourself!
usr : I'll try! Thank you so much for the advice!
sys : (Information) Also, there are many online resources that are great at finding available jobs and require your time and effort, but not any money invested. This might be a good tool as well!
usr : That's very true. Maybe I'll get started on that tonight.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I hope so. I've also been in a similar situation so I can completely understand your feelings.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Keep in mind there are also resume sites that are free to use, as I know you are concerned about the financial part in that area.
usr : That's nice to hear! Sometimes it feels like I'm being dramatic. I really appreciate your thoughts, having an action plan really helps me feel less anxious. Thank you.

usr : its hard I'm getting older now (50's) and its hard seeing my appearance go downhill. But at least it's happening with my other friends too lol. Gravity is a bitch!
usr : what age group are you in?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I am nearly 50 as well. People over 50s looks better and I am sure your appearance is good as well. It is just thinking.

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about shame regarding a/an Appearance Anxiety. The seeker says
"I can't get a haircut due to pandemic, my hair is a disaster. I'm getting older and things are sagging. I am too shy to go on camera for my zoom meetings. And afraid to be rejeected once i am ready to date again.". | usr : Hello
sys : (Question) Hell, How can I help?
usr : I'm ashamed of how I look which makes me anxious when I have to attend zoom meetings, I have to leave my camera off. It feels like cheating!
usr : I am badly in need of a haircut due to the pandemic...my short layered hair is now shoulder length shag lol...I hate the way I look right now and it gets me down.
sys : (Information) Initially, I used to feel like that and never shared my camera but I know I can do all the time.
usr : oh really? how long did it take you to get up the nerve....its been months and months of mic only for me lol...and the silly thing is the people i'm zooming with aren't particularly attractive so I shouldn't feel ashamed.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) When I saw many people were sharing camera and they didnt care about anything - few sitting in room full of mess but they dint care.
usr : in person i am much more confidant...would like to care less.
usr : care less about being on cam i mean
usr : some people look so comfortable and relaxed! I just get seized up with anxiety
sys : (Information) correct - it is just our mind thing which stops us not to share but once you start sharing you will feel confident.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Once you dont care what people think you will be more confident.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) You will also be used to it
usr : maybe i should take the plunge...it seems so silly to me because logically i am not in these meetings to impress anyone
usr : maybe i'll pick the least threatening meeting and start there...one that's a smaller group
sys : (Information) You can also try different backgrounds in Zoom which will improve the way you will look.
usr : oh really? I haven't experimented with that. maybe I can get a friend to practise that with me
