[User] My father sent me a photo of a letter I wrote for his birthday when I was a kid.

[User] I love finding treasures like that!

[User] Yeah, I'm glad he kept them because it's always amazing to find it later in life.

[User] I hope that I am able to share such nice things with my own kids one day.

[User] Me too. I will keep every little drawing and letter they make me. It's worth it.

[User] I really enjoy that too!


[System] prepared: I have to start getting ready for a family reunion I am contributing to next weekend. I volunteered for food so now's the time to get ready!

[User] I signed up to do a lot of food for a family reunion next weekend. I have to start getting supplies now for sure!

[User] That is a lot of work! But I bet the reunion will be fun.

[User] My family's reunions are incredibly memorable. I volunteered for a lot of desserts so I think it's fair to get started this weekend. I want to be ready.

[User] Yum, I love making and also eating desserts! Do you have a specialty?

[User] I'm glad you asked! I make a mean german chocolate cake everyone raves about. It makes me feel good to help out.

[User] Oh that's one of my faves. My go to is cheesecake.

[User] I love cheesecake, I should do that as well.

[User] It's a crowd pleaser. I love the dips and apps at get togethers like that.


[System] caring: I am a nurse and I take care of people in the last stage of their lives.

[User] I am a nurse and I take care of people in the last stage of their lives.

[User] Is that like hospice care? How do you deal with seeing loss so frequently?

[User] Yes it is. It's really tough. I never stop caring about the loss. It's hard.

[User] I'm sure you do a great job of making these people feel cared for and loved in their final times.

[User] That's the best part. Some people are in so much pain it's a relief for them to go. Hard on the families though.

[User] I bet it is. Thank you for giving your time to this type of work.

[User] It's rewarding but also pretty high burn out. I take two really good vacations a year!

[User] You deserve them! That's excellent to hear.


[System] disgusted: I went to make a patty melt today and my bread was rotted. It was really nasty.

[Assistant] I went to make a patty melt today and my bread was moldy.

[User] Oh no! I hate when I'm hungry for something and it goes wrong like that!

[Assistant] I know! It was a super specific craving I was having too.

[User] The worst! Did you find something else to eat?

[Assistant] I just had a salad.

[User] Better than nothing but still no patty melt!


[System] apprehensive: I was invited on a road trip with my kids. I was worried about not having my husband there to help me.

[User] So, my mom invited me and my kids on a road trip.

[Assistant] That's exciting. Is that something you want to do?

[User] Kind of. I was worried because my husband wouldn't be coming along and my kids are very young, 3 years and 6 months.

[Assistant] That could definitely be tough. Especially with a baby.

[User] I definitely had my doubts, especially with the trip being so long. 16 hours in the car!


[System] content: Last night I was watching a really great movie with a bowl of pop corn with my hubby. I was so comfortable.

[Assistant] I was totally comfortable last night watching a movie with my boyfriend and eating popcorn.

[User] That's cool, nothing wrong with being faithful.


[System] joyful: I'm so excited for the weekend! This summer has been so much. I got a new car, new job, and a new place to live. Things are going well.

[User] This has been such a great summer so far. I just got a new job in June and I bought a new set of wheels this week!

[User] Nice, jobs are ok, but a new ride is really fun. What did you get

[User] I put money down on a Toyota Tacoma. It wasn't my first choice but it gets the job done for sure.

[User] Toyota's usually last a long time so it might be a good decision.

[User] That's why I went for it, that engine will last me a very long time. They're very dependable.


[System] embarrassed: I was talking to my boss and accidentally used a word I didn't really know the real meaning of. I looked like a fool.

[Assistant] I was talking to my boss and used a word that I didn't know the real meaning of. made a total fool of myself. lol

[Assistant] Dang! Well at least you got a good story to tell now!


[System] faithful: We've moved many times over the past ten years for my husband's job.  It's been hard but worth it!

[Assistant] We've moved a lot of the past decade for my husband's job.

[User] oh really, hopefully its a pretty nice job cause moving is not fun.

[Assistant] yeah, change is so hard for me!  but it's been worth it

[User] Well at least you get to be with the man you love...hopefully


[System] trusting: I put snow tires up for sale on craigslist. It's my first time in many years selling on craigslist after having some bad experiences before so I hope it goes well.

[User] I just put some snow tires up for sale on the internet. I stopped using Craigslist awhile ago because of some bad experiences so I hope it goes okay.

[Assistant] As long as you're safe about it. You can meet up at police stations too!

[User] That was my mistake in the past. I always went to weird locations to exchange things. I have to be smart about it nowadays.

[Assistant] More people are open and into it so yo ucan always talk to your police about it

[User] That is true! Thanks for your advice. I want to be more open to selling stuff on the web to strangers for sure.


[System] faithful: I've been in a long term committed marriage for over 34 years.

[User] I've been married to the same person for over 34 years

[User] Wow. That's a long time. Longer than I've been alive! Congrats on your successful marriage. Got any tips?

[User] Yeah, be fully committed, communicate about everything & let petty things roll right off.

[User] Thanks for the advice. I have trouble letting the petty things go but I think I'll learn to be better as time goes by. I wish you a happy marriage!

[User] Thanks! You can do it! With the right person, it's not as hard as it seems. So I guess the real secret is to find the right person from the start. ;)

[User] My heart sank when I heard about my favorite teacher from elementary school passing away.

[User] Ohhhh, that's so sad. I remember (long ago) when that happened to me. Did he/she live a good long life?

[User] I hope so. I heard it was cancer. He was always such a happy man. It's a shame.

[User] Yeah, that is a shame. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I know how important a great teacher can be your life.

[User] Are you nervous? Or do you have amazing confidence in your ability?

[Assistant] I am feeling pretty good about it since I think I am very well prepared.

[User] Do make sure to get a good nights sleep before hand. That is just as important.


[System] trusting: I had never let my son stay the night at anybody's house before. For my anniversary with my husband we really just wanted to have a night to ourselves and thought we should let our son stay with his grandparents. I was nervous but I had faith that they would take care of him well.

[Assistant] My husband and I decided we wanted a night to ourselves, but we've never let our son stay the night anywhere. I was pretty nervous.

[User] How old is your son?

[Assistant] He's 3 now, but at the time he was about one and a half. We decided to let him stay with his grandparents that night.

[User] I can understand why you felt so nervous. A mothers attachment is rather strong to a newborn. You should get him a gaurd dog when he's a bit older if you still feel that way.

[Assistant] I never got into COD and I tried Overwatch when it first came out but I wasn't very good. Fortnite on the other hand I'm alright at.

[User] Overwatch is a team oriented game, just try your est to communicate and use strategies, while also self improving and you will climb.

[Assistant] That's awesome! What did you have done?

[User] I just moved back near family, and I'm feeling overwhelmed with how close knit everything is again.

[Assistant] Oh I feel you! Every time I go back to stay with my family it feels... claustrophobic almost.

[System] afraid: I have to go rescue a dog from a violent household. This place has a bad history and the cops are always there. This might not end well, but I'll work for it to be fine for the dog's sake.

[User] I have a distant relative that's been abusing their dog, and I have to rescue it from their property.

[Assistant] That's awful.  What are you going to do?

[User] I'm bringing some backup with me to start off. I'm going to just be direct and take the dog. If that doesn't work I'll have to get animal control involved.

[Assistant] What type of dog is it?

[User] It is a staffordshire terrier. It's a lovely dog and very sweet. The dog certainly doesn't deserve this treatment, no dogs do.


[System] jealous: My brother won a 75" TV from work yesterday. I bet that will look awesome with Xbox games.

[Assistant] He better!


[System] nostalgic: I am old enough to remember the times before internet and social media when people you spoke over the phone or in person and you could have much more meaningful contact with people

[Assistant] I am old enough to remember the times before internet and social media when people you spoke over the phone or in person.

[Assistant] Same. When you had one phone in the middle of the house with the SUPER long phone cord so you could at least get around the corner to talk.

[Assistant] That's it!  I guess I miss having what I believe where much more  meaningful contacts with people on a daily basis.

[Assistant] I agree. The convenience is nice now, but the quality is much lower.


[System] sad: My wife's grandmother passed away recently. She was the family matriarch and I actually felt very close to her as of late. She will be greatly missed.

[User] My wife's grandmother passed on a couple weeks ago. It's still eating at me to think about it.

[Assistant] Were you close to your wife's grandmother?

[User] I had become close to her as of late. She was a very strong and respected woman.

[Assistant] That is very heartbreaking. Im sure she had a very positive opinion of you as well.

[User] I think she did. We got along very well and she was always happy to see me.

[Assistant] Im sure your wife also appreciates you getting along with her family.


[System] sentimental:  As I get older, the more I remember my childhood

[Assistant] My daily life consists of getting up, going to work or going to college. I miss being young and spending my day playing videogames and playing outside

[User] Those times seemed much simpler didn't they? Do you ever break out of the routine?

[Assistant] If im not studying or working I usually go out for a run, practice piano or do surveys online to make some extra cash

[User] I see. How do you like playing the piano?

[Assistant] Its hard at first, but with practice comes perfection.

[User] That's the spirit. I bet you're a wonderful pianist.

[User] I haven't slept well this week at all. The county has been drilling outside my house for 12 hours a day.

[Assistant] Well that stinks.  What are they drilling for?

[User] They're ripping up the road to just re-do. I'm not saying it's unnecessary but it's sure driving me nutty!

[Assistant] Are they almost done with it?

[User] I'm not sure! Nobody has been able to give me a clear answer, not even the workers outside.


[System] disappointed: I really though I was going to be accepted in med school, but I wasn't, and now I don't know what I am going to do with my life.

[Assistant] I really though I was going to be accepted in med school, but I wasn't.

[User] Oh no what happened?

[Assistant] I don't know and now I don't know what I am going to do with my life either.

[User] That is sad.  I am sure you can come up with a good career.  What do you like to do?


[System] anticipating: I'm waiting to hear back from the nursing program I applied to for my degree

[User] I'm waiting to hear back from the nursing program I applied to for my degree

[Assistant] That's exciting and nerve wracking at the same time I bet. How do you feel about it?

[User] I think I will get in since my board exam score is good, and my GPA is high. I don't want to be too confident though! I heard the program is competitive.

[Assistant] For sure. Well good luck! Nurses are very under-appreciated. I hope you get.

[User] They really are. Thanks!


[System] lonely: For a long time I lived out in the middle of nowhere far away from many people. My friends and family were very far away and it felt very overwhelming sometimes.

[User] I'm much better off now but I just got out of a time of my life where I was isolated out in a rural area away from a lot of people.

[Assistant] that can be tough but it also can be great to have time for yourself

[User] At first I felt that way, but over a period of time it can get very overwhelming.

[Assistant] i can see where isolation can be overwhelming and the need for social contact is desirable and needed

[User] I did try to keep busy to keep it from setting in but it got to be too much sometimes. I'm glad that I am away from that.


[System] anxious: My boss is coming for dinner tonight with his wife.  Many things could go wrong I hope they don't or I probably won't be getting a raise.

[Assistant] My boss is coming for dinner tonight with his wife.

[Assistant] Oh that's exciting. Are you nervous to have them over?

[Assistant] Yes I am. Many things could go wrong I hope they don't or I probably won't be getting a raise and worse still I will be to embarrassed to ask for it.

[Assistant] I bet it's all in your head. I am sure it will all good smooth.


[System] proud: My new puppy just learned how to swim! He acted scared for awhile but once he was finally in he took to it like it was nothing.

[User] We just got a new puppy, a real water dog. We have been trying to get it to swim and today he did for the first time!

[User] Aww that's so cute! Was it tough trying to get it to swim?

[User] Proud of the little pup!

[User] I love this dog, I think I'm going to keep him haha!

[Assistant] My daughter snuk out the window last night.

[User] What for? I hope it wasn't for anything dangerous.

[Assistant] Cops brought her home this morning. She was still drunk from the party she went to.

[User] That's a little dangerous. I'd definitely talk to her about why you didn't allow her to go to that party, and maybe she'll realize that what you're doing is for her own good.

[Assistant] I agree, needless to say, she is grounded til Thanksgiving.


[System] guilty: I want to loose wait and I'm trying to eat less, but just a few minutes ago a had some sugar cravings and ate a whole package of cookies. Now I feel awful.

[Assistant] Last year I was about to run my first 50 mile race.  I had broken my toes a few weeks before and wasn't sure I was going to make it.

[User] Ouch, that's unfortunate. Hopefully it turned out okay though?

[Assistant] It did, thankfully I had listened to my doctor's recommendations and it healed up just enough.  It was still a pretty nerve wracking start though.

[User] I can imagine, talk about bad timing injuring your toes!


[System] ashamed: When I was a kid I threw a rock at a boy. It hit him on the forehead and made a big gash. I felt so bad about doing it.

[Assistant] Good for you for standing up for your little brother. hope the kid is ok though.


[System] nostalgic: I was looking through an old family album and I realized, I really had a good childhood. I miss my family.

[User] A boston terrier and a chihuhua cross.

[Assistant] Aw little guys. Do they walk well on the leash?

[User] Most of the time, until we see another dog.

[Assistant] That's about how mine is. He is a bit bigger so he pulls a little harder. I found using a harness has helped.

[User] Yeah, I use that too! What breed do you have?

[Assistant] He is a mix breed. We don't really know.

[User] I felt so badly today because my son overheard me yelling and cursing out his dad because he was late picking up our son.  I didn't mean for him to overhear that but I was really angry.

[Assistant] Aw that's tough!  Have you talked to him about it?

[User] I haven't had a chance yet since he's still with his dad.  I hope to call him later tonight.

[Assistant] I'd been working there longer so it really stung.  Our friendship survived though!

[Assistant] That is great because friendships are very important


[System] jealous: My neighbours just bought a new car and put in a pool. I feel like I just can't get ahead- I can barely pay the bills.

[User] My neighbours just bought a new car and put in a pool. I feel like I just can't get ahead- I can barely pay the bills.

[Assistant] Ok,thats lovely

[User] For them it is, I guess.

[Assistant] Its shows a lot of care

[User] Well, I guess I'm envious. They are better off than me I guess.


[System] ashamed: I was embarrased when my shoe peeled off on the way

[Assistant] I had to walk bare footed to a point

[User] A point of what? Like, of land?

[Assistant] I was looking for a shoe mender

[User] Oh boy. I'm not sure where you'd find one. That's pretty old fashioned. Did you find one?


[System] apprehensive: Someone at my work missed part of their shift due to a personal issue, but requested I withhold any information that would reveal they missed such time.

[User] Someone at my work missed part of their shift due to a personal issue, but requested I withhold any information that would reveal they missed such time

[Assistant] Oh no! That must have put you in a bad position. How did you handle it?

[User] I did my best to speak around the subject to anyone that may have otherwise brought it up, Luckily no one ended up being at all the wiser

[Assistant] Sounds like a great way of handling a potentially sticky situation - good job!


[System] trusting: I love to rely on my friends for advice

[Assistant] They are too good to me

[User] hi friend who is too good to you?

[Assistant] My frisds

[User] that's good though! I bet you're grateful.


[System] trusting: I had the chance to look through my girlfriend's phone while I was in the shower, I decided not to because I felt I could respect her privacy.

[User] I had the chance to look through my girlfriend's phone while I was in the shower, I decided not to because I felt I could respect her privacy

[Assistant] Thats so cool of you

[User] i hope so i hope i did the right thing

[Assistant] Yea,thats the right thing to do


[System] devastated: We have to make an expensive car repair.  This is coming just after finding out our roof is finally kaput.

[Assistant] We have to make an expensive repair to our car.

[Assistant] I know! That must be frustrating. Do you have enough money to cover it?

[Assistant] We do technically, but it's really frustrating because we also have to replace our roof :-/

[Assistant] Oh wow... it seems like bad things always hit at once like that. Hang in there - I hope it will get better for you!


[System] trusting: I wanted to go out but needed someone to watch my kids. No one had ever babysat before. I let my sister watch them because I knew she would do a good job.

[Assistant] I wanted to go out but I couldn't take my small kids. I hadn't ever had a babysitter but I knew my sister would take good care of them.

[User] I'm sure it was scary to leave your kids for the time but at least it was their aunt and not a stranger!

[Assistant] They did great. I knew I was worried for nothing!

[User] Oh that's so great - and now you can feel comfortable leaving them with her more often!


[System] apprehensive: All my friends signed up for horse back riding lessons but I had never been before.  I wasn't sure I wanted to go with them but they convinced me to sign up and go even though I was very scared!

[User] All my friends signed up for horse back riding lessons but I'd never been before and was scared.  They convinced me to sign up and take them!

[Assistant] It does sound like fun, though. Did you have a good time?

[User] I wouldn't say it was a good time but I'm glad I tried it!

[Assistant] Are you ever going to do it again or are you done? I went when I was a child.


[System] faithful: You can believe in your friend

[Assistant] If we can believe and trust in each other,the world will be a better place

[User] True. Easier said than done though. How can we be?

[Assistant] Is not an easy task but we can try

[User] Definetly! it starts with a single person right


[System] apprehensive: I had a c-section planned to deliver my baby. I was excited about seeing her but nervous about the surgery.

[Assistant] I had a c-section scheduled to have my baby. I was very excited about seeing her but very nervous about the surgery.

[Assistant] Did  you layer had the surgery?

[Assistant] I had the surgery and everything went great. I was glad it was over!

[Assistant] Oh,congrats dear


[System] devastated: I was broken when i heard a bad news from my office

[Assistant] Some of my collegues wete sacked by the management

[Assistant] Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! That must have been upsetting.

[Assistant] Honestly,i was just lucky not to be among

[Assistant] Then you must have felt relief.


[System] ashamed: I felt ashamed when I quit my job due to depression and anxiety problems, a lot of stigma, especiall for men, when dealing with employment (or lack of) and mental health.

[User] I had an okay job, not a great job but it paid well, working as a commercial truck and trailer repair technician. After a few weeks on the job I fell into a deep depression after getting injured at work.

[User] oh I am so sorry, I am assuming the injury was serious?

[User] No, it was minor. I had a previous injury to my arm, not sure what is messed up in it really... Doctor said it was just a sprained wrist but it was obivously more serious, the doctor didn't really care.

[User] oh man I hope you got a second opinion? I would be so worried about your injury. I am so sorry.

[User] I haven't gotten it looked at since, it doesn't bother me enough to warrant spending the money on the doctor visit. It's alright for the most part now, thank you for your concern. My shoulder and elbow pop consistently but it rarely aches these days, though using the computer mouse can give me fits if I don't watch it.


[System] ashamed: i farted in a barnes and noble once and someone smelled it.

[User] i farted in a barnes and noble once and someone smelled it.

[User] Hasn't everyone done so at some point?

[User] haha I guess so. But they knew it was me...

[User] Atleast it wasn't in class at a college or something, right?

[User] yeah you're right I shouldn't feel so bad then.

[User] I wouldn't sweat it, chances are you won't see any of those people again right? Even if you do, it's unlikely they'll remember you let alone your smelly fart.


[System] sentimental: I was going through some pictures of when my children were young. I can't believe how little they were! It made me think about the past.

[Assistant] I was looking through pictures of when my kids were young. I can't believe how tiny they were. It made me remember the times when they were tiny.

[User] oh my gosh that's so cute! I bet they were the cutest.

[Assistant] They were so sweet and little. Time passes so quickly.

[User] I'm sure it does, I don't have any of my own but I would be really sentimental.


[System] apprehensive: I am worried about going back to school, I don't know if I should do it. It can be hard.

[User] I am worried about going back to school, I don't know if I should do it. It can be hard.

[Assistant] Yes, but think of all the opportunities it can open up. Don't let fear stop you!

[User] you're right! I guess I am just very cautious you know.

[Assistant] I know, but I'm sure you'll do great! I went to school for many years through a Master's degree, and although it was hard, it was worth it.


[System] disgusted: I spent 2 hours helping my daughter on her homework. found out today she never turned it is and won't receive credit for turning it in late. What a waste of time.

[Assistant] I spent 2 hours helping my daughter with her homework. I found out today she never turned it in.

[Assistant] Did she forget it at home or did she just not bother turning it in?

[Assistant] She just didn't bother. She won't even get credit for turning it in late. What a waste of time.

[Assistant] Be happy that you were able to spend some time with her and sharing personal time with her by helping her with her homework. Not many parents do that for their children

[Assistant] No, your right. That is so true. I just wish she put more effort into school instead of talking in class.


[System] devastated: I dropped my chipotle after being hungry for the whole morning

[Assistant] I had just went on my break after a long morning at work, so I got chipotle. As soon as I stepped out of my car with my food, I dropped my bowl on the floor

[Assistant] oh no! I bet you were so mad! were you able to find something else to snack on?

[Assistant] It was pretty heartbreaking honestly, I really looked forward to my steak bowl. I just ended up getting some chips from the vending machine to fill my stomach at least a bit

[Assistant] That is heartbreaking. That sounds really good. Never purchased one of those.


[System] faithful: I work with several other men that are fairly attractive, but I love my husband so I want to remain true to him. I do not want to betray his love.

[Assistant] It is good to remain faithful if you are married. Faith and trust are important in a healthy relationship.

[Assistant] I am completely agree.  How long have you been married?

[Assistant] I have been married for 14 years now. We've had our ups and downs, but a good relationship takes work.

[Assistant] Constant work and attention is key to a great relationship!

[Assistant] Compromise an important part, too. It can't work if someone insists on being right all the time.


[System] ashamed: I had to wear a scratched up pair of old glasses because I broke my other pair.

[Assistant] I broke my glasses so I had to wear an old pair that had visible scratches on the lenses from being stored in a drawer.

[User] That sucks.  I hate having scratched glasses

[Assistant] Well, it felt so self-conscious knowing that people could probably see the scratches.

[User] Yes and it always bothers me looking through scatches.

[Assistant] That part sucked too. Guess I care too much what others think.


[System] devastated: I am going through a breakup, we were together for five years I am heartbroken

[User] I am going through a breakup, we were together for five years I am heartbroken

[User] I'm so sorry to hear that. I was together with my wife for 7 years when she left me so I know your pain.

[User] it's horrible. I know you felt the same way. I just want this terrible feeling to be over.

[User] It takes awhile for it to be over. Find a hobby to take your mind off of it. It helps to ease the pain.


[System] trusting: One time I let this guy crash on my couch. He seemed like a nice guy, but he took advantage of me. I found out he was eating all my food and stealing money from my room.

[Assistant] You ever have a situation where you help someone out and just end up regretting it?

[Assistant] yes, that is always a hard situation.

[Assistant] Yea, I once let this guy crash on my couch rent free for 3 months, and the entire time he was taking money out my room and eating my snacks without saying anything. I knew things were missing, but he'd always deny it.

[Assistant] oh man that is horrible!  I am so sorry

[Assistant] Thanks, I guess some people are just scumbags. I don't understand how you can take advantage of someone who is helping you.


[System] faithful: An old friend wanted to get together. It would have been fun, but he is a guy and I knew it would bother my husband so I didn't meet him.

[Assistant] An old friend wanted to get together. IT was a guy, and he was someone I was involved with. I knew it would bother my husband so I didn't meet with him.

[Assistant] That's the best decision. I know mine wouldn't either. If he is a good guy, he will understand.

[Assistant] I didn't want to make my husband uncomfortable, even if it would have been nice to catch up. But I have to respect him.

[Assistant] That's good. No sense in rocking the boat.


[System] anxious:  I have to go to the dentist really soon. One of my teeth are very sensitive lately. I don't want to go.

[Assistant] I have to go to the dentist really soon. One of my teeth are really sensitive lately.

[Assistant] It is definitely good to get that looked at right away. Then they can take care of it!

[Assistant] Yes, that is true. I am one of those people who hate the dentist.

[Assistant] Oh I know it's hard. Just try to relax and it will go quick.

[Assistant] I will make myself go. thanks!


[System] faithful: I made a news years resolution to meditate every day and I have kept it for the most part.

[Assistant] I have meditated nearly every day this year. It was my new years resolution.

[Assistant] Nice! Did it help you become less stressed?

[Assistant] Yes! It is surprising how much it has helped me considering how neurotic I can be.

[Assistant] Dang, well I hope you can continue your goal of meditating every day!


[System] trusting: I remember at scout camp we had to do a trust fall exercise where one person would fall and the rest of the troop would catch them.

[User] Wow, I'm not sure if I could do that. Did you feel scared?

[Assistant] Scared of what

[User] Of doing a trust fall, I guess I forgot to mention that part.

[Assistant] Oh,dont mind me,just been curious

[User] No worries, was just thinking back to when a group of my friend when to scout camp and were doing trust exercises.


[System] content: I am always satisfied with whatever i have

[Assistant] I dont like borrowing from people

[User] Why is that?

[Assistant] I like to manage whatever i have

[User] I feel that, plus it's nice not to have to worry about returning it.


[System] trusting: I thought my son was capable of cleaning the kitchen. Apparently I was wrong.

[Assistant] I asked my son to clean the kitchen. He left dirty dishes in the sink and garbage on the counter.

[Assistant] Oh thats not good..sometimes teenagers can be alittle messy

[Assistant] He's 10 but definitely messy. We are working on it though.

[Assistant] Well I am sure he will get better with age


[System] faithful: One time I was on a ride at a theme park and the ride stopped in midair. I was so scared, but I believed that help would arrive and I knew the rescuers would save us. They showed up and we were all good.

[Assistant] Do you like theme park rides? I used to enjoy them a lot, but one time my ride got stuck.

[Assistant] I think theme park rides are scary! Was it scary when you were stuck?

[Assistant] It really was, I was freaking out, but I also felt confident that we'd be saved. It didn't take too long, maybe 5-10 minutes before they were able to rescue us.

[Assistant] They are really good about that. They have a lot of safety features you don't even realize. We were stuck on Space Mountain once.

[Assistant] Jeeze, man. I wonder how many other people have gotten stuck on rides before. Is it that common of an occurrence? Well, we're both here to talk about it.


[System] caring: My nephew was so sweet and adorable. I just wanted to hug him and spend time with him. He was the first child in the family for a long time, so it was special.

[Assistant] When he was little, my nephew was so adorable. He was the first child in the family for a long time, and he was so cute. I loved to spend time with him.

[Assistant] Awww, you're speaking fondly on when he was young. Is he not as nice anymore?

[Assistant] Oh he's still nice. He has some issues, though, but I love him very much of course.

[Assistant] That's depressing to here. I have family members who are still cool now as well, but I just think so fondly on when they were younger. They grow up too fast, and it really is amazing when they're young and innocent and haven't been exposed to the real world yet.


[System] apprehensive: Working as a nurse, there are many times when I have been worried about my patients. Sometimes when a patient is just starting to get seriously ill, there are not any obvious signs, but my intuition is almost always correct.

[Assistant] Intuition can be a key tool to a seasoned nurse.

[Assistant] I suppose, but research and concrete knowledge is more beneficial as it is a very hands on and physical occupation, especially when the health of others are in their hands.

[Assistant] Those are very beneficial tools as well but sometimes experience plays a large part in patient outcomes.

[Assistant] That is true. There are many situations where experience can strengthen your skills compared to just learning it from a book.

[Assistant] Skills can be difficult to learn from a book. Hands-on practice is what it takes to perfect those skills.


[System] caring: Dog greeting me at the door whenever I get home

[Assistant] It's always such a great feeling whenever I get home and my dog is there waiting for me at the door ready to greet me.

[Assistant] Dogs are wonderful pets. They are so loving and devoted. What kind of dog do you have?

[Assistant] I have a little havanese named Yoko.

[Assistant] That's an awesome name. I have two feists. If you're not familiar with the breed, they resemble Jack Russell terriers, but they are bred for squirrel hunting. Their names are Whiskey and Ruby.


[System] faithful: When my husband and I were younger and our children were small, we were on really tight budget. One day at church, when it was time to give out tithe, I knew we had only about $40 in our bank account. I wrote a check for $40. I put my faith in God to carry us. Within a few days, I received an unexpected care package from my mother, which included some cash.

[User] Hi, I want to tell you about one time my faith was tested. Have you ever had a time when you had to just put your faith in God?

[User] all the time I am not sure I believe in God

[User] I can understand that. That's why I said my faith was tested...when my husband and I were younger couple with small kids, we were living on a small budget. My husband was still in college to be a teacher, so it was pretty tight with just my income. Well, long story short, I wrote a check for $40 as tithe at church and that was pretty much all we had. A few days later I received a care package from my mom out of blue and she even included some cash. It was not something she usually did. What do you think of that?

[User] that's pretty crazy you could of had your money and the care package too

[User] Yup, sometimes you just have to believe, I think. But I did feel convicted to do so. I'm not saying everyone should do it. You know what I mean?

[User] yeah I understand what you mean definitely

[User] It was nice talking to you. Have a great night. Best wishes!


[System] sentimental: my cat just recently died and I am very shaken up about it.

[User] my cat just recently died and I am very shaken up about it.

[User] Oh, I am so sorry! I am an animal lover, too. We have two dogs now, but used to have cats, too. We did have to say goodbyes to some of our pets over years. It's heart breaking...

[User] it is I am just so sad and heartbroken

[User] How long did you have your cat?


[System] content: We went over my grandma's house for the holidays. I loved being with my relatives. The cooking was divine. I felt so happy.

[Assistant] We went over my grandmother's house one holiday. Everyone was spending quality time together and cooking and it was just so special.

[Assistant] Was it a holiday?

[Assistant] Yes, it was. My family usually is far, but some people came into town. It was just nice to be together.

[Assistant] It sounds like a fun event.


[System] sentimental: Someone I know lost an expensive phone. She told me about it and started crying.

[Assistant] My friend lost an expensive phone.

[Assistant] Oh no! That is so frustrating.

[Assistant] Yeah she even cried about it and I had to comfort her.

[Assistant] That is good that you are a nice friend to her.


[System] apprehensive: When I joined the army I was really nervous.

[Assistant] I joined the Army when I was 18 because I didn't know what else to do. I was so nervous!

[Assistant] I am sure you were.  Was boot camp really hard

[Assistant] Physically it wasn't too difficult. It was mentally difficult though.

[Assistant] I could never do something like that.  Thank you for your service

[Assistant] I am glad I did it. I wasn't glad at the time though.


[System] apprehensive: My boss called me into his office without giving me a reason.

[User] Ugh. My boss called me into his office today...and he didn't even give a reason.

[Assistant] Oh wow. I would hate that. What ended up being the issue?

[User] Something lame -- he wanted to see if I completed a poster he wanted. Why couldn't he have asked that over the phone?

[Assistant] Maybe he has forgotten how it feels to randomly be called into your bosses office. He's moved on up.


[System] devastated: My mom became very ill and was in a lot of pain. She had to be hospitalized.

[Assistant] My mom became very ill recently and had to be hospitalized.

[User] Oh no -- how is she feeling now?

[Assistant] She's doing fine now. But that was the first time I've seen her ill. Scary.

[User] Yeah, that had to be tough. I'm glad she's doing better now though.

[Assistant] Thanks.


[System] devastated: I worked so hard on the science project I was so upset when I didn't get first place. I thought I deserved it!

[Assistant] I worked so hard on my science project in school. I thought I was going to get first place. I didn't and was so upset.

[User] What a bummer! What place did you end up getting?

[Assistant] I got second place, but I was so upset I didn't get first, it might as well have been last. I was young.

[User] I know the feeling. You work so hard just to feel crushed.


[System] trusting: Once when i was young and i didn't know how to swim I jumped in the pool knowing my dad was watching me.

[Assistant] One time when i was young and i didn't know how to swim I jumped in the pool knowing my dad was watching me.

[Assistant] Did you get hurt or drown a bit?

[Assistant] A little. I remember being choked up some but he jumped in there and got me out quickly.

[Assistant] Nice, well hopefully nothing like that ever happens again!

[Assistant] totally hope not!


[System] guilty: Last week I was cooking dinner. I dropped a hotdog on the floor. No one saw it so I fed it to my child.

[Assistant] Last week I was cooking dinner. I dropped a hotdog on the floor and ended up giving it to my child.

[Assistant] I sure hope the hot dog was fit to eat

[Assistant] I rinsed it off. No one saw it but I feel bad about it now.

[Assistant] Oh, you shouldn't feel bad about it, i'm sure it was fine to eat!


[System] trusting: I told a very secret story to my husband and It made me feel good that after 12 years he has never told anyone about it.  It made me feel as though he was true to his word, to me.

[Assistant] My husband is very trustworthy, he's good at keeping a secret when asked to

[Assistant] That's really good you guys can trust eachother like that. That helps make you both grow in the relationship.

[Assistant] True, we've been together for over 20 years. Feeling comfortable in a relationship is important

[Assistant] Wow! You don't see much of that anymore. So true.

[Assistant] That is so true, it's sad to see people break up whether they are married or not or have children or not.

[Assistant] Yes, I am a product of a broken marriage. My children are too. Keep up the good work you guys!


[System] anticipating: I wish to be at my friend's birthday tomorrow

[Assistant] I as not invited for unknown reasons,but i wish to be there

[User] Where were you not invited to?

[Assistant] Its my friend's birthday

[User] You were not invited?! That's awful. How close are you to your friend?


[System] guilty: I crashed my parents car when I was in high school and tried to lie about it. I ended up admitting to it but the time I spent trying to cover it up was excruciating.

[User] When I was in high school I borrowed my parents car, and got into an accident. Of course like most human teenagers I tried to cover it up but they found out.

[Assistant] Hey,were you injured?

[User] No I was fine, just my pride was wounded. Of course, being a human being and not a robot I was overwhelmed by the lie. I fessed up to them eventually.

[Assistant] Hope they took it easy with you?

[User] No I was grounded for a very long time and couldn't hang out with my friends.


[System] sentimental: When my daughter was born, I didnt want to sleep. I wanted to sit and watch her sleep.

[Assistant] My husband used to tell me to go to sleep at night when my daughter was born. I didn't want to go to sleep because I didn't want to miss a moment with her.

[Assistant] Aww that is so sweet.  I completely understand why!  Oh and thank you for your apology but I am truly content and have accepted it.

[Assistant] My husband didn't get it. He thought I was crazy. Oh well.....

[Assistant] Men are crazy sometimes!  LOL!

[Assistant] Yeah, thats true. He still thinks I am crazy. I am okay with that. Crazy does not always have to be a bad thing.


[System] trusting: I have had a job working out of town the last  3 years. Once before I left  the money with my girlfriend to pay the water bill.

[User] I have a job that requires me to work out of town.

[Assistant] Sounds like a fun one to me. Are you happy there?

[User] Yes , but its nice to have some one at home who will handle things while you are away.

[Assistant] I agree. Im sure you get bored or lonely while traveling too.


[System] jealous: I don't like envious people

[Assistant] They don't make do with what they have

[Assistant] who is that?

[Assistant] Envious people

[Assistant] sometimes we have to learn how to not be jealous of things


[System] content: When my dog greets me at my door

[Assistant] There is no better feeling than being greeted at the door by your dog

[Assistant] Thats always a good feeling. I bet you are excited to come home everyday.

[Assistant] You bet. As soon as she hears the door horn when I lock my car, I can hear her barking from inside

[Assistant] What a good dog and full of joy!

[Assistant] She is a very sweet girl

[Assistant] I bet she loves you just at much as you love her.

[System] ashamed: My brother had to go out of town with his family to a funeral lst month.He asked me to take care of his house plant for him and I said yes, but after he left I got so caught up in myself i forgot to water his plants and they all died.

[User] My brother went out of town last month and asked me if I would water his plants for him while he was away.

[Assistant] Oh no! Was he mad?


[System] ashamed: I mistakenly stepped on someone without saying sorry,  and she got furious , people attacked me,  I felt so bad

[User] Oh yes,  it was an embarrassing moment

[Assistant] What happend?

[User] I got a hot slap from a lady

[Assistant] What is a hot slap? Sounds painful!


[System] apprehensive: I applied for a barista job recently and wasn't sure I would get the job. I was very nervous waiting for the call.

[Assistant] Hi! So recently I applied for this barista job. I've been waiting forever for them to get back to me!

[User] They haven't called you back yet? I hate when that happens, they make you wait by the phone on pins and needles!

[Assistant] They just called me back today. I didn't get the job. :( I was trying not to be overconfident. I guess it worked this time lol.

[User] Don't let it break your confidence though, it just wasn't meant to be. I think you'll land your next application though.

[Assistant] I hope so! I was actually really surprised. I think they like me there. I just hate not knowing what I'll be doing next!

[User] Uncertainty can be so agonizing. Just keep your head up though!


[System] angry: My neighbor keeps backing into my mailbox! I've gotten the police involved but they won't do anything about it. He's so nonchalant about it too.

[User] So I've been having an issue with my neighbor. It's not super hairy yet but it could be. They constantly back into my mailbox on their way out almost every day.

[Assistant] Oh my gosh! Have they broken it? That would drive me nuts.

[User] It's been knocked down a few times yes. Police have been involved but they don't do anything. My neighbor is so carefree about it too, it's bonkers!

[Assistant] Have you spoken to them personally? Maybe they should pay for you to move it!

[User] We've "chatted" about it for sure. Like I said, the guy doesn't really care. Very unnerving.

[Assistant] Wow. I'm so sorry. Maybe you could put concrete around it so it damages their car? lol

[User] Ahaha that sounds tempting, but I try to take the high road on this one because it's already driving me up a wall.


[System] apprehensive: I use to work on a farm that required me to do a lot of different things. On on day in particular my boss asked me to stick my hand up a cows rear end to check if it was pregnant.

[Assistant] Wow that sounds intriguing, what new things did you try?

[User] Well once I was asked to check a hefer to see if it was pregnant. And this required some skills I didn't have.

[Assistant] That's awesome, cows are amazing


[System] sentimental: When I see how quickly my son is growing, it makes me appreciate the time I have with him. I want to make the most of it.

[Assistant] I have a son who's 8 months old! I get so nostalgic about how quickly time has passing, and it hasn't even been a year!

[Assistant] Yeah, it's crazy how each year seems to go by faster than the last too, having kids must be surreal

[Assistant] Yes they grow so fast! It really motivates me to make the most of the time we have though.

[Assistant] Me too, it's like you realize more and more that all you have is the present moment.


[System] caring: When my son was born I'd never felt so much concern for another person. I would move mountains for him.

[Assistant] I recently had a baby! It was such an incredible feeling seeing his face for the first time.

[User] Wow, congrats, what did you end up naming him?

[Assistant] Thank you! His name is Ronan. He is such a sweetie! I've never loved anyone so much in my life.

[User] You are lucky, and I am sure he will be tons of work but it will be worth it.


[System] anticipating: We are temporarily moving soon. I'm so excited!

[Assistant] Hi! I'm so excited! My husband and I decided to temporarily relocate to Arizona this winter!

[System] apprehensive: My husband was offered a job in Hawaii. It is our very favorite place, but it is very expensive to live there. We also had no friends or family lived in Hawaii. It was a bit nervy but we did decide to move there.

[User] Hi, a few years ago, my husband got a job offer in Hawaii. We LOVE Hawaii, but we didn't know anyone there and you know how expensive it is to live there. We really had to think about that move...

[Assistant] Sounds like a real hard decision. I would be very apprehensive as well.

[User] Yeah, but we did move and it ended up the best decision ever! We had so much fun and really loved living there. At least beaches are always free!

[Assistant] You sound so excited about it and your future there. I would be full of joy as well.

[User] Well, hopefully he is as good as Sherlock Holmes and saves some lives.

[Assistant] Yes, I believe they have already. I'm so proud.


[System] faithful: I was once propositioned to go on a date by a man that knew I was married.  I was not interested in cheating on my husband, and I told him so.

[User] A guy asked me on a date one, knowing I was married.  I denied, of course, but was shocked that he didn't care that I was in a monogamous relationship.

[Assistant] That's the worst. I wonder if he was trying to prove something.

[User] Or boost his ego? Either way, he didn't succeed.

[Assistant] Good! I don't know why people think they can get away with things like that.


[System] prepared: When I went in for my first professional interview, I was ready for anything. I practiced interview questions, had a great resume, and a pretty snazzy outfit.

[Assistant] I had my first professional interview recently!

[User] congrats, how did you handle the pressure?

[Assistant] Pretty well I think! I had a solid resume, and I practiced ahead of time. It still isn't the same though when you're right there in the room and they're looking at you lol.

[User] It can be pretty nerve racking, but it is always great practice. You will only get better.


[System] nostalgic: Time goes by so fast when you have a baby. It makes you long for stages in their growth that are already over.

[Assistant] Do you ever feel like time is just going by way too fast?

[Assistant] OMG! especially recently. a week seems like one day.

[Assistant] Exactly! I have an 8 month old son and I feel like he is growing up so quickly. It's like he was just a noisy little bean yesterday.

[Assistant] That's so true. My daughter moved out this year and I'm wondering where the heck the time went!


[System] grateful: I've been wanting to buy a massage table for a while now. My mom gave me a gift card that finally made it possible.

[Assistant] I have been wanting to buy a massage table for my business.

[Assistant] Oh really? Are you a massage therapist?

[Assistant] Kind of. I'm a Reiki therapist and I got good news! my mom gave me a huge gift card for my birthday and I can now afford the table!

[Assistant] Wow congratulations! You must be so excited!

[Assistant] Oh, I am. Can't wait to get my first customer.


[System] furious: Recently my friend sent me a text message that was pretty mean. I was really hurt and angry.

[Assistant] Hey. How are you?

[Assistant] I'm good, what's up?

[Assistant] Oh not much. I got a crappy text from a friend the other day! I never have friend drama so it's really sucky.

[Assistant] Yeah, that must be difficult


[System] hopeful: I made a new friend in the town I moved to. It was the first time I felt like I might fit in here.

[Assistant] I just moved to a new town recently and I finally made a new friend! I was starting to feel really lonely so it's nice to feel like I might fit in.

[Assistant] Way to go! If it makes you feel better I would be your friend if I was there

[Assistant] Aw, thank you! Do you live in a small town? It's very hard to make connections!

[Assistant] I used to, but yeah especially if you're not in school


[System] disgusted: My husband's cat pooped and peed in the bathtub today. Why.

[Assistant] So! My husband's cat pooped and peed in the bathtub today. That was rough.

[Assistant] Hope you didn't take a bath after that

[Assistant] Haha! Nope. Never again.

[Assistant] Minus one for cats


[System] disappointed: My friend moved away to Brazil. I was really hoping she'd stay here.

[Assistant] I'm so bummed! My best friend is moving away to Brazil.

[User] Wow Brazil? Isn't there a lot of crime there?

[Assistant] I don't know... I hope not for her sake. I was really hoping she'd stay here but I'm also really excited for her.

[User] What is she going to do there, sounds kind of dangerous.

[Assistant] She is starting a missionary school!


[System] faithful: I was baptized at 13. It felt good to make that commitment.

[Assistant] When I was 13 I was baptized. In water, not milk. But if I was baptized in milk it would be whole milk.

[Assistant] That's good, how does that make you feel

[Assistant] Honestly? Not fat.

[Assistant] Nice, I like your attitude


[System] joyful: The day I got married was the second best day of my life! It was beautiful!

[Assistant] I just celebrated my 2 year anniversary! I've been reminiscing about my wedding a lot lately lol.

[Assistant] Nice, too bad I wasn't invited!

[Assistant] Sorry! We eloped anyway so it wasn't that exciting lol!

[Assistant] Sounds fun! Keep fighting the good fight lol


[System] impressed: Going to rodeos is so fun! I'm always amazed at the skill it takes to barrel race.

[Assistant] Hi! Have you been to a rodeo?

[Assistant] No! I think that should be on my bucket list though.

[Assistant] Do it! It's so fun. I'm so impressed with the skill of some of the riders!

[Assistant] I bet that would be cool. I've watched on Tv. They know what their doing.


[System] lonely: I don't work or go anywhere most of the time. I always feel like I'm waiting for my boyfriend to spent time with me

[Assistant] I don't work or really go anywhere. I feel like I'm always waiting.

[Assistant] What are you waiting for?

[Assistant] Usually it's for my boyfriend to get home so he can spend time with me. poor guy. lol

[Assistant] Oh I totally know how that goes. I moved to small town and didn't have many friends at first. Once I had my son and made more friends it got way better lol!


[System] lonely: I recently moved to a very small town. It's been really difficult finding friends and making connections.

[Assistant] Good evening! I moved to a small town recently. It's been tough.

[Assistant] Thanks, you as well. I know how that is. give it time and things will get better.

[Assistant] I'm sure it will. I've already made some friends, but it's definitely difficult to make connections.

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it gets more difficult as you get older anyway.


[System] sad: I feel so far away from my family. I hardly ever talk to them anymore. I miss them.

[Assistant] I feel soo far away from my family.

[Assistant] Aw, I know how that goes. Do they visit often?

[Assistant] No,my mom even live here in town. we hardly ever talk anymore.

[Assistant] Wow that's sad. I'm sorry.

[Assistant] It's ok. I'm gonna let them know how I feel. maybe change things.


[System] afraid: We are relocating for my husband's work. I'm excited but scared

[Assistant] I'm so excited to relocate to AZ for my husband's work (temporarily), but kinda scared!

[Assistant] That does sound exciting! Why are you scared?

[Assistant] I don't know anyone there and all my family is a 22 hour drive away

[Assistant] Oh, that is definitely a change! But at least you can still keep in touch nowadays.


[System] annoyed: my cat still has his claws. He has begun scratching the chair I sit in to get my attention. He is so bad.

[Assistant] Do you have any cats?

[Assistant] Yeah I have one, but they're all over the place it seems like

[Assistant] Mine still has his claws and now he has resorted to clawing my chair when he want attention.

[Assistant] That's funny, just don't let it in your room while your sleeping!

[Assistant] oh no, no that one. The other one does sleep right next to my head though


[System] apprehensive: When I had my first born child I was so anxious and fearful about every little thing with him. I swear I would watch him sleep just in case something would go wrong, at least I would be right there.

[User] It was such a nerve wrecking experience when my son was first born, I really was so scared that anything could hurt him!

[User] Babies are pretty small and delicate they look like they might break at the slightest bump.

[User] I know, right, and I had this nurse tell me the first week he was alive, that babies have died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome right in their parents arm! It was so scary

[User] It's a pretty small percentage, but it would definitely be something to worry about.


[System] caring: When my friend told me she was unable to have kids, I wanted her to know I was there for her. It must have been such a hard thing to go through, I could not imagine my life without my beautiful little boys.

[User] My friend recently told me that she couldn't have kids, I tried my hardest to be there for her

[User] Wow that would be terrible news. I can't imaged shit is taking it well.

[User] She is not at all, I have really been there for her, I have two boys of my own and could not imagine not being able to have kids of my own

[User] Hopefully she has a supportive partner to help her as well. Glad you are there to help her.


[System] devastated: One night, my cats were playing and chasing a fly. All of a sudden one of them started acting weird. Then he died. He wasnt even a year old.

[Assistant] One night my cats were chasing a fly in the house. All of a sudden, one of them started acting weird and then he died. He was only a kitten. I was so upset.

[User] That is horrible, I am so sorry, It is hard losing a baby animal, you are not expecting them to pass, like when you have an older sickly one

[Assistant] Yes, it was horrible. It just happened out of nowhere.

[User] That is crazy, I wonder what was wrong with it

[Assistant] The vet said it was likely an anneurysm.

[User] Wow, I never knew cats could even get an aneurysm, but I guess like humans why wouldn't they be able to?


[System] content: My life right now is so great, I would not change a thing. I have a great family and financially we are very good.

[User] I am so happy with my life currently, I am able to stay at home with my children and watch them grow, I would not change it for anything

[Assistant] Ahhhh thats amazing! I stay home with my kids too! How many kids do you have?

[User] I have 2 little boys aged 2 and 4, soon to be 3 and 5 and ugh it can be challenging at times, but totally worth it!

[Assistant] It definitely can be a challenge. I have a 10 year old boy, an 8 year old girl, and a 2 year old girl. I love being home with them.


[System] faithful: I went out to the bar with my girlfriends recently and there were a lot of men around. I'm happily married and one guy in particular kept trying to buy me drinks. I kept telling him I just wanted to have a good time with my friends but he kept persisting. Eventually he got the hint.

[Assistant] I went out to the bar recently with my girlfriends and it was kind of an annoying experience.

[User] Oh no, what happened? Did they do or say something?

[Assistant] It's just so frustrating going out when you are in a happily committed relationship and getting hit on. Especially when you tell the men straight up you are involved with someone else!

[User] Oh girl, that happens to me all the time too. So frustrating, just leave us alone.


[System] caring: My grandma was diagnosed with dementia. She recently moved in with my dad. I stayed with them for 2 months to help care for her.

[Assistant] My grandma was diagnosed with dementia a few years ago. She recently moved in with my dad. I went and stayed with them to take care of her.

[Assistant] I'm sorry, is it difficult to take care of her?

[Assistant] I went to school to be a CNA. So the actual taking care of her was not difficult. I think it was more mentally difficult. It was all day and all night. Very exhausting.

[Assistant] Dang, I hope everything turns out okay for you guys

[Assistant] Unfortunately she wont get better. She will be moving into a nursing home in a couple of weeks. I think it will be good for her.


[System] ashamed: I once was talking about a coworker behind his back.  It wasn't necessarily an awful conversation; but what I didn't know was that he was working in the next room with the door open.  He approached and asked what I had been saying.  I knew I was caught.  I was so disgusted with myself.

[Assistant] The other week, I was talking about a co-working of mine - okay, I was gossiping..

[Assistant] Hmm, how did that make you feel

[Assistant] Pretty awful, actually.  Especially considering that the coworker of whom I was speaking was in a room just next door with the door open.

[Assistant] Yeah, at least now you're more aware, it can be pretty tough when you're trying to break the habit though

[Assistant] Absolutely.  I really am disgusted with myself.  I don't know why I open my big mouth!


[System] faithful: I have never cheated on a girlfriend while we were together

[User] I have never cheated on a girlfriend

[Assistant] Good to hear that you keep your word

[User] Yes im kinda proud of it

[Assistant] Keep it up brochacho


[System] ashamed: I stole my money from my parents more than once and every time I did it because I needed the money badly, but I was too ashamed to ask my parents directly for the money. In the end, I couldn't look my parents or family in the eye knowing what I've done.

[Assistant] I felt so ashamed the time that I took money from my parents. I couldn't look them in the eyes for weeks when I was younger.

[User] At least that shows that you have a conscience. I hope that you made it up to them.

[Assistant] Yeah... I don't know. They still support me and help me, but I still feel incredibly guilty. Not sure what to do to make it up to them.

[User] Confess to them what happened. Let them know how you have changed.


[System] caring: I took the kids to visit the residents at the Veterans Home. We made some special treats to take to them.

[User] I took the kids to visit the residents at the Veterans Home. We made some special treats to take to them.

[Assistant] Wow, I am sure the Veterans loved it! What kind of treats did you and the kids bring to them?

[User] A variety of things that they liked. I checked ahead of time to see what they would want.

[Assistant] So thoughtful of you! What did the kids think of visiting the veterans?


[System] ashamed: I really wanted to go Christmas shopping, so I called in sick to work...

[User] I called in sick to work, so I could go Christmas shopping...they were having a great sale at the mall.

[User] Wow that is some really early christmas shopping. you must like to plan ahead.

[User] Well, yeah, it's good to plan ahead, but I kept looking over my shoulder...I felt so guilty!

[User] Yeah spending money on things is always a temporary high.


[System] content: I made a big pot of Vegetable soup. After eating a big bowl I was completely satisfied and just wanted to nap in my chair.

[User] I made a big pot of Vegetable soup. After eating a big bowl I was completely satisfied and just wanted to nap in my chair.

[User] I love vegetable soup. So were you able to enjoy your nap ?

[User] Oh yeah, It felt so good.

[User] Well I'm happy for you. Its hard to catch a nap around here sometimes.


[System] content: Last year my girlfriend asked me if I was ok with how life was turnig out for us. I stop and thought about how things use to be what we had hope for and how things are now, I looked at her smiled and replied I " I am ".

[User] My girlfriend is always worrying if I am as happy thought I would be after we decided to go from just good friends to be in a relationship with each other.  I always am honest and tell her the same thing.

[User] Sounds like she has some underlying issues with trust. You may want to sort it all out before you get too involved.

[User] well really we have deeply involed for along time now . And I am very happy in our relationship and couldn't ask for anything more out of it.

[User] Maybe you couldn't but it sounds like something is going on with her.


[System] trusting: I asked my friend if I could use their car. I was trying to travel out of town for a couple of days and my car was at the dealership getting repaired. I knew my friend for at least 5 years and they were not hesitant to lend me their car. Right away, they gave me the keys to the car.

[User] My friend recently lended me their car so I can go out of town

[User] That was nice of them. Did you have any problems with their car?

[User] They did not hesitate to lend me the car at all which is nice. No, I did not have any problems with the car.

[User] THat is good to hear. What happened to your own car?

[User] My car was getting repaired.


[System] trusting: My nephew's car broke down last month and he needs a car to get to work.  His money is tight because he's getting married in the fall and can't really afford to rent a car for a week and a half, so I loaned him mine.  I know he'll take care of it.

[Assistant] When my nephew's car broke down and I loaned him my car, I know that he'll be careful with it.

[Assistant] Well at least you can trust him to be careful.  I dont think I would be able to trust my nephew as he is only 18 and not very responsible yet.

[Assistant] Yeah, 18 is an inherently irresponsible time, mine is 24 and getting married soon so that makes a lot of difference.

[Assistant] Yes its amazing how much of  a difference a few years can make in age.  It seems that males take quite awile long to mature than females.

[Assistant] The culture that extends adolescence deep into their twenties doesn't help much either.


[System] caring: We saw a driver throw out a little kitten out of a window We picked up the kitten and brought him home. He's been out pet since then and is a great cat.

[User] Long time ago, we saw a driver throw a kitten out of his car window. We picked him up and brought him home.

[Assistant] That's so nice of you, I would have chased down the car, but you did the right thing

[User] He was such a sweet kitten. We had him for years. He's gone now and miss him still.

[Assistant] Feels bad, hope you have someone to talk about it with!


[System] anticipating: My husband has a job interview coming up and we are really hoping he will get the job. It'll be a really nice job for him and it pays well too.

[User] My husband has a job interview coming up and we re really hoping he'd get the job.

[Assistant] What kind of job is it?   I will keep my fingers crossed he gets it!

[User] It's for health care company. It'll be a better job for him. Thank you.

[Assistant] THats awesome, does it pay better than the one he has?  A pay increase is certainly helpful.


[System] jealous: I had my eye on a pretty new shirt that I wanted to get. My sister got it and it looked great on her. I was so envious.

[User] I had my eye on a pretty new shirt that I wanted to get. My sister got it and it looked great on her. I was so envious.

[User] oh wow i am glad she was happy, why were you nervous?

[User] I wasn't nervous I was envious. I had really wanted it.

[User] oh don't be, you should be happy for her, there will come a time where you will get something back in return :)


[System] jealous: My friend is on her third vacation this year and now she's on a cruise. I have not been on any vacation this year.

[User] My friend is on her third vacation this year and now she's on a Hawaii cruise!

[User] Boy o-boy bet she is having the time of her life. How many vacations have you taken this year?

[User] A big fat ZERO! I need one now! Haha!

[User] Me too, maybe our wish will come true only time will tell.


[System] embarrassed: I invited a girl over to my house for dinner that I had a crush on for years. When I served her at the table I handed her a folded napkin when she unfolded it a live cock roach fell onto the table.

[User] Have you ever invited someone over for dinner that you liked a whole lot? Well I have and it didn't go to well.

[User] Oh, no! What happened?

[User] Well I made them dinner fixed their plate gave it to them and a folded napkin. When they unfolded the napkin a big fat and I mean fat cock roach fell out and ran across the table at about 50 miles a hour.

[User] Oh wow! That's like the worst nightmare! I'm so sorry that happened to you!!


[System] embarrassed: once i pooped my pants at walmart

[User] once i pooped my pants at walmart

[User] Were you able to get out of there without anybody noticing or did you die from embarssment?

[User] My mom was there and i had to ride home with her so yeah she knew

[User] I'm sure that was not a fun ride home.


[System] anticipating: I was on the edge of my seat watching the local election results. I was hoping my candidate would win.

[User] I was on the edge of my seat watching the local election results. I was hoping my candidate would win.

[User] where you disappointed?

[User] No I was quite happy with the results. But the waiting for the results was so nerve wracking.

[User] I remember the same thing. And the joy that followed for the next moth was pure bliss


[System] prepared: The weather forecast called for tropical storm force winds. I made sure that I checked the yard for loose items.

[User] The weather forecast called for tropical storm force winds. I made sure that I checked the yard for loose items.

[Assistant] Where do you live?

[User] I live on the Gulf Coast. When you get the warning you have to be ready.

[Assistant] Alright, so do you ever have to evacuate?


[System] furious: I got caught by the train and it made me late for work. I was so mad.

[User] I got caught by the train and it made me late for work. I was so mad.

[User] maybe go earlier later?

[User] That's just it though. You never know when the train is going to be there.

[User] oh, that's kind of weird


[System] faithful: When my girlfriend cheated on me i let her go and i didn't do anything

[Assistant] it sucked i was heartbroken but i let her go

[User] ... im sorry, how did it happen

[Assistant] its okay and thanks it was 2 years ago, she texted me that she wasn't interested in a relationship and then i found out a week later

[User] that sucks, but hey man it's okay one day you'll find right person

[Assistant] thanks man! i hope you do too


[System] trusting: I knew my wife's family would help with the money for our marriage.

[Assistant] I knew my wife's family would help us financially for our marriage, turns out it was right, I appreciate it so much.

[Assistant] Nice! The married life is expensive

[Assistant] Yes well we needed money in order to get married in the first place. All the expenses and fees and paperwork.

[Assistant] I hope you two have a nice future. At least you know the family will support you!


[System] ashamed: I was supposed to order some items online, but got distracted and never made the order.

[User] There was a time when I really messed up.

[Assistant] Oh! What happened?

[User] Some folks were counting on me to buy some things, but I never did.

[Assistant] Wow! You lazy bum. You disappointed me too!

[User] What?  I ordered the items later, but they came later than folks had hoped.


[System] ashamed: I behaved immature during the fight lately and lied, later on I felt remorse.

[Assistant] I behaved immature during the fight lately and lied, later on I felt remorse.

[Assistant] That sounds awful. Who was it you wronged?

[Assistant] It was my wife, sadly. I explained to her later and admitted my mistake.

[Assistant] Was she understanding and forgiving?


[System] trusting: I recently quit my job without having another job lined up.  My friends and family encouraged me to quit because of the environment I was in.  I'm going to attempt to do work-at-home gigs while I figure stuff out.  It's scary, but I'm trying to remain optimistic that this was the right thing and everything will work out.

[Assistant] I quit my job without having another one lined up.  I'm hopeful and optimistic that I will be okay and that this was the right choice.

[User] I'm sure you will be able to get another one fairly quickly!

[Assistant] I'm doing some work-from-home stuff and it's actually pretty fun!

[User] I hope that you see amazing results, and you continue to enjoy yourself!


[System] trusting: I really believed my boyfriend when he told me that he loved me.

[User] I don't know why my boyfriend lied to me about seeing another woman. I thought he loved me.

[Assistant] Do you think it's possible that he does still love you and also made a horrible mistake?

[User] I'm not sure, but I'm hoping that he will realize he's messed up.

[Assistant] I think that when people cheat and lie, it's because something is wrong with them and not their partner.  If he doesn't realize his mistake, then he doesn't deserve your love.  I wish you all the best!

[User] Thank you so much. Hopefully, it all works out, and he comes back to me.

[Assistant] I hope you realize your worth too. I do this thing where I think about another woman in my life who I really care about (mom, daughter, etc.) and I think "if this was happening to them, what kind of advice would I give them?"  Sometimes, we think we deserve less.


[System] ashamed:  I felt embarrassed when I went into a boys' bathroom

[User] really shameful was that I would be the same as I would happen the same

[User] what do you mean?

[User] nothing forgot I wanted to tell you that today I was upset with my sister

[User] oh, what happend

[User] because I take money without asking permission


[System] trusting: My son went on a field trip at school.  I had no change, so I had to give him a $20.  I was nervous he would spend it all or lose it.

[User] Don't you hate it when you are not sure you can trust someone?

[User] yes i do, that's why i only trust one person, my wife

[User] My son went on a field trip and needed some money for a snack and drink.  Unfortunately, I only had a $20.

[User] im sorry, what did happend next? how does that make you feel?

[User] I was nervous, but had to trust him.  I was afraid he would spend it all or even lose it.


[System] trusting:  I let a stranger borrow my cellphone to make a phone call, but he ended up dashing off with my phone.

[Assistant] Hey, guess what, you will not believe what just happened to me.

[Assistant] What happened to you?

[Assistant] I let a stranger borrow my cellphone to make a phone call, but he ended up dashing off with my phone

[Assistant] That's horrible! Did you have any sort of tracker on it?

[Assistant] No, I have lent my phone out to strangers before, and have never had someone run off with it. Luckily track and field training paid off and I was able to tackle him down


[System] sentimental: Lately I was sharing memories with my wife from before we got married and it was heartwarming.

[Assistant] Lately I was sharing memories with my wife from before we got married and it was heartwarming.

[Assistant] Awwe that is so sweet, how did you two meet?

[Assistant] We met online actually! And we were across the ocean from each other. That was a journey.

[Assistant] Wow that sounds like a really big journey. It must have been really hard to connect with one another only through online chats.


[System] apprehensive: I remember when I was younger, our teachers would provide us with pancakes every Tuesday. I miss those days.

[Assistant] I miss the good old days when we would be given pancakes on Tuesdays at school. I loved pancake Tuesdays.

[Assistant] Mmm that sounds delicious. There is always time to make pancake Tuesdays at home!

[Assistant] Haha yeah, but it doesn't feel the same because I miss being able to enjoy it with all my classmates. It was always a great time full of laughter and chatter

[Assistant] I see, memories will always stay, sometimes good old days just can't come back.


[System] trusting: I was scared to skydive, but the instructor reassured me with his 15 years of experience.

[Assistant] Have you ever tried skydiving before?

[Assistant] I haven't, but it's definitely on my bucket list!

[Assistant] I thought I was going to pee my pants until the instructor told me how many years of experience he has under his belt.

[Assistant] I bet it helped having someone there who knew what they were doing.

[Assistant] I've been anxious because I think my new landlords don't approve of dogs in the house I'm renting and I have a dog!

[Assistant] Oh no that is awful! It is against the law where I live to ban animals from the house. So legally I am allowed to have a pet even if the contract says no pets allowed.

[Assistant] Really? I did not know such laws exist but it's awesome. Where do you live?

[Assistant] Canada! You should check the laws in your area to see whether or not you are legally allowed to have a pet even if the land lords do not approve.
