We have been implementing a class in a homeless shelter for months and we are measuring the success on that implementation for the adult male population. usr : And we have been finding research articles to support our project.
(Self-disclosure) Papers can be very stressful, especially when it is a group project. When I went to graduate school I had to complete 4 full papers on different subjects in 72 hours.

(Affirmation and Reassurance) I'm sure that if everyone puts in the effort, you will all be successful with your paper. Is there anything I can do to help?

I just get so stressed out every time I think about it.
(Providing Suggestions) I can tell you're stressed about it and group projects are very hard. Perhaps you can all put a plan together an allocate tasks to make sure that everyone puts in their share of the work? Is that something you've considered?

(Providing Suggestions) I've been in this situation. Instead of stressing yourself about it, have you tried speaking to your professor or other group mates about making sure that everyone pulls their weight? Some professors take that into consideration.

(Others) I found in my experience that professors are very receptive to hear about how others are performing in the group and will weigh that information when grading.

She's looking at jobs in the northwestern region, but I'd planned on looking at graduate schools in the south. However, we've always planned on living together after college, but my career path would be best served in the southern states. I don't know how to bring this up to her.
(Restatement or Paraphrasing) Is it crucial that you be in the South versus Northwestern region? Are you willing to lose her in order to move South?

(Providing Suggestions) A compromise would definitely be the best and most fair for both of you. You may just need to sit down and ask some tough questions to determine where she sees things. She may be thinking the same thing you are.

(Self-disclosure) Somewhat but not identical. My now husband and I attended different colleges and we both agreed on a fairly selfish approach of finding our careers while dating and not letting our relationship dictate what either one of us did. No one wants to be the reason someone holds back or gives up on something they've always wanted.

### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an problems with friends. The seeker says "My friend who's a year ahead of me in school is looking at jobs in an entirely different part of the country that I was looking at grad schools in, but she expects me to follow her there, which had previously been our plan.".
sys : (Question) How are you doing today? usr : Hi! I'm good, but I'm struggling with an issue with my girlfriend. sys : (Question) I'm sorry to hear that, what is the issue that you're having? usr : She's a year ahead of me in college and will be graduating in May. She's looking at jobs in the northwestern region, but I'd planned on looking at graduate schools in the south. However, we've always planned on living together after college, but my career path would be best served in the southern states. I don't know how to bring this up to her. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) Is it crucial that you be in the South versus Northwestern region? Are you willing to lose her in order to move South? usr : It ' usr : oops usr : It's not crucial, necessarily, but the population that I want to work with is more relevant along the southern border. I'm not willing to lose her, so to say, but I would like to find a compromise. I don't know what that would be though, or how to bring it up. sys : (Providing Suggestions) A compromise would definitely be the best and most fair for both of you. You may just need to sit down and ask some tough questions to determine where she sees things. She may be thinking the same thing you are. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Without knowing where you stand on things or where your relationship is going, she may not know how to completely plan the future for herself much less the two of you. usr : Have you ever been in a situation at all similar? sys : (Self-disclosure) Somewhat but not identical. My now husband and I attended different colleges and we both agreed on a fairly selfish approach of finding our careers while dating and not letting our relationship dictate what either one of us did. No one wants to be the reason someone holds back or gives up on something they've always wanted. usr : I don't think that's selfish, but knowing your experience is helpful in understanding your advice. sys : (Providing Suggestions) You don't want her to resent you for telling her you want her to move South, but that goes both ways. She needs to be willing to see your side too and you'll need to make those decisions together. usr : I appreciate your help! I'll try to have a productive conversation with her soon.
(Others) Great, the sooner the better. I have a feeling you'll both be relieved when you do.

I don't know if it's something she's considered, because I've expressed interest in moving to the northwest just for fun, but I've also noted that the schools I'm actually looking at are Arizona and New Mexico. I do think the field she wants to go into could be applicable in almost any state, but I'll be gentle. I don't want to lose her, so if I need to look into a different section of my field, I definitely could.
(Affirmation and Reassurance) I'm sure she's considered it, expressing interest in both of those areas could just be that you're sending mixed messages too. So really, just talking it out is your best bet. Good luck!

usr : My board is going around me to my staff and I am frustrated. usr : And angry! sys : (Question) I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like to tell me more? usr : My supervisor left and she reported to the board. Now we report to them. They said they would just go to us and not them. Now the board is going around us (me and my coworker). sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I could understand how that could make you very angry, I would be too. usr : Have you ever ran into something like that before? sys : (Question) I have not, it sounds like a very bad situation. Is there anyone you can report this to at the company? usr : Not really. My coworker and I can complain but that can only go so far. I need to detach and do the work but my ego is hurt. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It sounds like you are working in a toxic work environment with poor leadership. Have you considered possibly seeking another job? Or maybe another company? usr : Not really. This just started happening last week. I'm still trying to get a better idea on how to deal with this. sys : (Others) I understand. What do you think about having a conversation with the board and let them know the issues you are having?
