[System] guilty: I yelled at my two-year-old nephew the other day, because he wasn't paying attention and spilled something, made a huge mess. I've been yelling at him off and on recently since he started living with my family for a short period of time. It's so hard to keep my patience in the moment... But then later on I feel so terrible that I can't be a better human being to him.

[Assistant] I yelled at my two-year-old nephew the other day, because he wasn't paying attention and spilled something, made a huge mess. I've been yelling at him off and on recently since he started living with my family for a short period of time. It's so hard to keep my patience in the moment... But then later on I feel so terrible that I can't be a better human being to him.

[User] I think it's an adjustment you have to work through. Toddlers can really test anyone's patience!

[Assistant] Yeah. I'm trying to handle myself better. It's hard when you're arguing with the child about the same thing, every day, day after day. It feels like running into a wall. You want to teach them, but they don't listen, or they don't show improvement. And obviously it's because he's two and he's just going to naturally take time to develop. But in the meantime, I struggle to not overreact.

[User] It's really hard, especially being thrown into an environment with a two year old and not having them for a consistent basis from when they were younger up until now.


[System] joyful: I haven't had fries in over a year. Finally got some today.

[Assistant] I haven't had fries in over a year. Finally got some today.

[User] Oh! I hear you, I love them but I get sick when I eat them. Did you do okay?

[Assistant] Yea, I do okay, but it does make me sleepy.

[User] That's unusual. Are you allergic to something they are fried in or just potatoes in general? I have digestive issues so I get tired too when I eat junk food


[System] furious: Someone stole my lawn mower. Suffice to say...I am not a happy camper. I can't stand thieves! I work hard for the things I have!

[User] Someone stole my lawn mower. Suffice to say...I am not a happy camper.

[Assistant] That's terrible! Sorry to hear that.

[User] Thanks! I can't stand thieves! I work hard for the things I have!

[Assistant] So do I. People need to be more considerate of others.


[System] content: I am feeling lonely but settled because things are peaceful.

[User] I am feeling lonely but settled because things are peaceful.

[Assistant] Well, sometimes we can feel that way in life. Relieved because there isn't drama, but get a bit lonely. Maybe you can get out and meet some new people?

[User] Nah, I have had that time pass. I am not up for people. Lonely meaning without a partner I live with. Yes, I love no drama in my home :)

[Assistant] Well, whatever makes you happy, that's what you should do. But, still, never hurts to at least have platonic friends :)


[System] impressed: My friend taught himself how to skate, and he just won his first competition.

[Assistant] You sound nervous.


[System] apprehensive: I want to visit my friend who lives in a large city an hour away, but I've never driven in such a large city.

[User] I want to visit my friend who lives an hour away in a big city, but I'm a bit nervous about driving in such a busy city.

[User] I don't blame you. It can be scary...the more people there are- the worse they drive. Be careful!

[User] I'll definitely have to sip on some coffee while making the drive so I can stay more alert, that's for sure.

[User] For sure! And always check for the wreckless drivers and the ones who cut you off- Thats really bad in bigger cities. Can never be too careful.


[System] impressed: It's amazing how much research goes in too helping others. I was researching neurofeedback today and it's nice to see how much some doctors care about helping.

[User] It's amazing how much research goes in too helping others.

[User] Definitely. The world is an extremely complex thing, and I don't know if we'll ever fully understand it.

[User] Very true! That is why everyone does different things. Very complex to keep it going! I was researching neurofeedback today and it's nice to see how much some doctors care about helping.

[User] I would imagine that people who have certain personality types are typically drawn to becoming doctors. They all seem to be very compassionate!

[User] Well..I have had some terrible experiences with doctors as have many but there are some who do care about helping.

[Assistant] Oh hey! A fellow bird feeder. Did you eventually get some?

[User] No I have to go tomorrow. I feel a deep pain when I am not taking care of them. They definitely expect it! I LOVE making sure all the critters are fed- with how cruel the world is to them- It's the least I can do..also skunks, bunnies etc at night like to come too. I will go get it tomorrow, I promise!

[Assistant] That's good. Sometimes we forget to do things that matter to us.


[System] joyful: I am feeling happy I can afford what I need for the past few months. It's nice to be able to get something if you need it.

[User] I am feeling happy I can afford what I need for the past few months.

[Assistant] That's good, have you been having trouble?

[User] Oh yes, I've been poor most of my life. It's nice to be able to get something if you need it.

[Assistant] I'll say. You can appreciate it that much more. What made the difference, if I may ask?

[User] Two incomes and a decent paying job. I am doing a business on the side so I don't have to be poor anymore. It's not very much fun.


[System] content: When I stayed home sick with the flu, my wife let me stay in bed and took care of me.

[User] They offered both of us money back and free meals for next time but we are never going back.  It turned me off of mexican food which is a shame because its my favorite!

[User] They will lose a lot of business over that one. Word of mouth is the best way to hurt someone. That is gross and I wouldn't go back either.

[User] Oh so many things. Lots of trauma. Life really is just full of lots of really difficult events..trying to maintain your spirit and being a good person through it, is really the task of life!

[User] Its so true! I battle chronic illness and excruciating pain daily for almost 14 years now not to mention drowning in old medical bills.  I put my faith in God and pray for relief.  Its really hard to stay optimistic.  I really hope life improves for you and you can enjoy and embrace life again.

[User] Thank you! I have tried..it's been a VERY traumatic year in so many ways..and I didn't think it could get any worse a few years ago..Wrong! I hear you with pain! Please try every treatment you can. DIET plays a HUGE role- also chiropractor, Nuerofeedback, Different herbs! I found eating right, exercising, herbs, vitamins, organic food helped with my pain caused by doctors- I had tons of neuropathy, pain and fibro like symptoms in addition to the trauma of deaths, abuse etc. I hope YOU feel better and YOU inspire me right now that I don't have it so bad!!!

[User] That is exactly what I've been going through along with horrible doctors that did nothing for me.  I just went high nutrient vegan 3 months ago and am improving my leaps and bounds.  I follow Dr. Joel Furhman.  You can keep going and your journey is giving you compassion for others that are going through horrible things.  Take heart and I hope you feel better.

[User] THANK YOU! That sounds GREAT! yes the raw groups on FB have good diets too! I need to do vegan as well! Just can't afford it yet. Doing Fasting with Keto WOW- That is true! I just feel tapped out after so much abuse and trauma..and losing pets and children..Just too much trauma in a short time, but I am still here! I am trying to get better, it's just a long hard journey. LOVE to you! Stay strong and kind like you are! So inspiring!

[Assistant] Oh no! What did he do?

[Assistant] My little brother always plays electric guitar. And that's too irritating.

[Assistant] Yes. You are right!


[System] anticipating: I was only two days untill my disney land trip

[Assistant] Two days left before the trip, I was beside myself.

[User] That's not good, what is the contract dispute about?

[User] Someone owes me a lot of money, but they don't want to pay.  I don't want to go to court, but I may have to go that direction.

[User] Yeah, that's always rough. I would take them to court if it's in the 4 digit range.


[System] impressed: When I went to see Niagara Falls for first time, I couldn't believe how big it was.  Mind blowing to see in person

[User] Ever been to Niagara Falls? I just went and it blew my mind on the size of it!

[User] I haven't been.  I would really love to go, and it's good to hear such a good review from someone.

[User] I'm pretty worked up right now, my wife went out to dinner with her friends and didn't bring me anything home!

[Assistant] I would be mad! Did she say why she didn't bring you anything?

[User] She must be mad about something, she always at least asks if I want anything!

[Assistant] Maybe you could talk to her after you calm down a bit.  I'm sure there is a reason.


[System] lonely: My wife went out of town for a week for work, and I got to say, I'm pretty lonely.

[User] Hey there, Got to admit, I'm pretty lonely right now.

[Assistant] Aw I'm sorry.  Why are you lonely?

[User] My wife went out of town for work for a week, and I'm not used to having the place to myself.

[Assistant] Maybe you could invite a friend over for a movie?

[User] I didn't get the promotion at work, I cant believe Becky got it over me... I'm really upset about it.

[Assistant] Gee, that is too bad. I wonder why Becky got it and you didn't?

[User] I don't know, It just seems like she always gets everything. ugh ! Sometimes I wish I could be as lucky as her.

[Assistant] Yeah, that's no fun. Maybe you'll get offered the next promotion that is available?


[System] prepared: The day before my dissertation was due

[User] My white dog doesn't want to go outside lately but once he is out there, he is fine like he normally is!

[Assistant] Do you have more than one dog??

[User] Oh yes, that is his nickname though! We call him "white dog".

[Assistant] I feel like this is obvious,  but is he white?

[User] No he's black. Just kidding ;)


[System] anxious: Long car drive coming up

[Assistant] Going to Florida in a couple weeks

[Assistant] That sounds awesome! I've only ever been to Florida in order to get to Disney World. Are you there to visit family? Business? To sight-see?

[Assistant] Just taking a vacation to the beach.  Not very excited about the 9 hour drive though.

[Assistant] Yeah... I had to do a long drive from Nebraska to Colorado this summer. It was about a 7-hour drive. That was starting to push it. So, I could see 9 hours being a little rough. I just tried to load up on podcasts to listen to.

[Assistant] Yeah I guess I'll have to do that.  I hate long trips.  Thanks for the tip!


[System] devastated: Recently heard that my father was laid off from his job. He's retirement age anyway, but I felt bad for him, as that must have been, at the very least, slightly humiliating. He's been a hard worker for 40 years, and has done well to support the family. But I do worry for him in the short-term.

[Assistant] Recently heard that my father was laid off from his job. He's retirement age anyway, but I felt bad for him, as that must have been, at the very least, slightly humiliating. He's been a hard worker for 40 years, and has done well to support the family. But I do worry for him in the short-term.

[Assistant] Oh that's awful!  I hope he is going to be okay.  Did they lay him off with severence or anything?

[Assistant] Yeah, he gets severance. He was a hotel manager, and I don't think the hotel was doing well, but I'm not sure that could or would be entirely attributed to his performance. Think they just wanted a change of scenery. I'm partially glad, since he needs to relax anyway. It will be good for his health

[Assistant] Yeah.  He will get to spend more time with you all now!  Take the father on a vacation!


[System] embarrassed: I was eating a hot dog at school. I started laughing and almost choked in from of the entire school.

[System] angry: I lost my credit card and someone charged 500 dollars on it.  I am so upset it happened.

[User] I lost my credit card and someone charged 500 dollars on it.

[User] Oh boy.  That's no good.  Did the credit card company alert you or did they miss it too?

[User] They missed it.  I am so upset that it happened.

[User] I bet.  I can't believe they didn't alert you.  Were they able to take care of it for you and suspend the charges and the account?


[System] grateful: I just had a little girl 3 weeks ago and she had to go into the NICU for breathing problems.  I am so happy that we got to bring her home yesterday.

[User] I just had a little girl 3 weeks ago and she had to go into the NICU for breathing problems. I am so happy that we got to bring her home yesterday.

[User] Oh goodness, is she okay?

[User] The doctor said she's good.  She was born a month early so her lungs were just getting their bearings, so to speak.  She still has to be on a monitor for a while but I'm so thankful she's home and doing really well.

[User] I really wish the best for y'all.  Good health.


[System] trusting: My co-worker agreed to help me finish the tasks even though he was not obliged to. I could not meet the deadline without him

[Assistant] The deadline for the work project was coming in two days and I was not done yet. Thankfully, my co-worker agreed to help me even though he was not obliged to

[User] That was nice of him. You should take him out for dinner.

[Assistant] I think I owe him. I wish every co-worker was like this in every workplace. What a wonderful world this would be

[User] That is impossible thou. It is a dog eat dog world out there.


[System] anxious: I am ready for my birthday next week.

[User] I am ready for my birthday next week.

[Assistant] Congratulations. Do you have any party planned for this event?

[User] I am going to Las Vegas for my birthday.

[Assistant] That is cool. Are you going alone or with friends?


[System] angry: I'm quite upset at those I know that complain all the time. I get that we all can once in awhile..but incessantly day in and out no matter WHAT way things go...so either way? That's a problem.

[User] I'm quite upset at those I know that complain all the time.

[User] You shouldn't let those kind of people upset you.

[User] Thats hard to do if you live with them lol. I get that we all can once in awhile..but incessantly day in and out no matter WHAT way things go...so either way? That's a problem.

[User] Maybe you should move out? Have you thought about that.

[User] It's my house, why would I move out ;)


[System] jealous: My best friend won a free trip to Hawaii. I wish it was me who had won.

[User] My best friend won a free trip to Hawaii. I wish it was me who had won.

[User] Oh! Yeah I understand that, maybe they will take you?!

[User] He has decided to take his girlfriend. I can't blame him for that.

[User] Oh yes of course! I am sorry.


[System] grateful: My husband was in a car wreck 2 years ago and broke his back. After he came home from the hospital the church brought us dinner every night for 2 weeks. It was so great.

[User] My husband broke his back in a car wreck a couple of years ago. For 2 week after we came home the church brought us dinner every night.

[Assistant] That's so nice. Is he doing better now?

[User] He is doing amazing. We didn't want them to quit bringing food. It was so good.

[Assistant] I'm sure it was a great comfort to you. Food is a great way to tell someone you care.


[System] grateful: My mom is always there for me. Anytime I need anything she is right here to help. I am so lucky.

[Assistant] My mom is always there for me.

[Assistant] That's great. My mother is like that too, and it's easy take for granted, but not all are so lucky !

[Assistant] Anytime I need anything she is right there to help me. I am so lucky.

[Assistant] You sure are! At least you appreciate and acknowledge so I'm sure she is pretty glad to have you as her child.


[System] lonely: You ever feel like you are the only person on the planet sometimes, like no one understand you? It's hard when you feel disconnected to everything like that.

[User] You ever feel like you are the only person on the planet sometimes, like no one understands you?

[Assistant] Yes, all the time! My girlfriend always thinks I'm so weird.

[User] Aw lol! Well that doesn't sound good at all! We are all weird in one way or another. I have went through a lot of trauma though and  It's hard when you feel disconnected to everything like that.

[Assistant] I'm sorry to hear that. We all have our demons. Sometimes it's good to take one day at a time and try to stay positive.


[System] confident: I have an exam next Monday. I studied very hard and am positive I will get an A.

[Assistant] I have an exam next Monday that I plan to ace!

[User] Good to hear! What is the subject?

[Assistant] It's in Pure Mathematics. I'm great with numbers and I've been studying a lot.

[User] That's something to be proud of! Good job!


[System] excited: I am really happy when I see the Mile 22 trailer.

[User] I am really happy when I see the Mile 22 trailer.

[Assistant] I'm not sure what that is. Tell me about it?

[User] It is an action movie with Mark Wahlberg.

[Assistant] Oh, okay, I believe I know what you are talking about now. He is a good actor and usually his movies are great!


[System] hopeful: my father promised he would come see me on my birthday

[Assistant] I kept looking at the door expecting my father to walk in any minute.

[User] I hope you wasn't to disappointed was you to going to spend time together?

[Assistant] Yes, we was supposed to come see me, and he never showed.

[User] A simple call would have been nice hopefully he has a good explanation for this.


[System] annoyed: I bought a pizza earlier and they overcharged me.  I am so irritated about it.

[User] I bought a pizza earlier and they overcharged me.

[Assistant] Can you really put a price on pizza?

[User] Nowadays, yes.  I am irritated about it.

[Assistant] I understand,  If a pizza is more than 10 dollars, im not paying.


[System] annoyed: my little brother is always following me around

[Assistant] Everytime i leave the house, who is behind me? my little brother.

[User] That must be so annoying.

[Assistant] YES, i just want to see my own friends and not have to take care of him for once.

[User] I'm sorry, maybe one day when he gets older.


[System] anxious: The next day was Christmas and I couldn't wait to open my presents. I couldn't sleep at all that night.

[Assistant] One night I couldn't sleep at all.

[User] Oh no! I hope you didn't have to go anywhere the next day? Did you try anything to help?

[Assistant] Well, I definitely didn't have to go anywhere because the next day was Christmas!

[User] Oh, well that's a bonus! No one needs sleep on christmas lol


[System] afraid: I feel a bit scared sometimes living alone in a rough neighborhood. I have dogs..but I don't have a weapond.

[User] I feel a bit scared sometimes living alone in a rough neighborhood.

[Assistant] Can't you just live with someone?

[User] No, lol. That brings a lot of drama. I have dogs..but I don't have a weapons.

[Assistant] Well, dogs are good for protection.


[System] hopeful: There was an expensive vase that I accidentally tipped over. I swept up the debris before my mom could see it.

[Assistant] I tipped a vase over accidentally and it broke.

[Assistant] That stinks. Did you hurt your foot?

[Assistant] No, but I had to sweep it up quickly before my mom found out.

[Assistant] I read that wrong, I thought you said you tripped over a vase and it broke. Will you be in trouble if she finds out?

[Assistant] No


[System] lonely: Just got into an argument with my long distance girlfriend because she felt I wasn't listening to her closely enough while we were on the phone. She hung up, mad. Truth is, I was trying to do some work while talking to her, but I was listening as best I could, too.

[Assistant] Just got into an argument with my long distance girlfriend because she felt I wasn't listening to her closely enough while we were on the phone. She hung up, mad. Truth is, I was trying to do some work while talking to her, but I was listening as best I could, too.

[User] Oh no!  Its always tough in relationships but when you can't go see her or make her talk to you afterwards, I'm sure its extra hard.  Did you call back and tell her that?

[Assistant] I didn't. It's late at night and she's already tired. She had a hard day at work, and she was telling me about it. I wasn't offering detailed responses because they were about very specific things that I couldn't necessarily give a lot of insight to. So, I was just trying to be broadly supportive. She heard me clicking on something in the background, so she flipped and thought I wasn't paying attention at all.

[User] I'm sure once she calms down, she will look on it as not as big of a deal.  If you have to work, you have to work.  I hope you can work it out!


[System] embarrassed: I couldn't get into my car in the parking lot the other day and something was wrong with the lock, so I called a locksmith out to open the door and then realized, it wasn't my car. I wanted to crawl into a hole.

[User] I couldn't get into my car in the parking lot the other day and something was wrong with the lock, so I called a locksmith out to open the door and then realized, it wasn't my car. I wanted to crawl into a hole.

[Assistant] Hahaha. I'm so sorry, but that made me laugh. I really don't mean to make you feel like I'm thinking you're dumb, because I don't. Everyone makes that mistake. I have an old Honda Civic, and I run into that problem, too. You probably gave the locksmith a good story to tell, and made his day. Hopefully you can smile at it tomorrow.

[User] Ha ha.  I'm already laughing about it so no worries.  I felt like an idiot but also grabbed a picture of that car and my car and it even had the same beach sticker on the back of it. It was crazy!  Yeah, the locksmith was so nice that he didn't even charge me.  I was surprise but I guess he felt sorry for me.  he he.

[Assistant] Oh man, he didn't charge you? You both kind of won then! A good story for you both at no cost. Well, except for time. It was a good learning lesson. And yeah.. the bumper sticker.. that's crazy. I'm glad you're able to not take yourself so seriously. That makes for a great personality.


[System] disappointed: My mother promised she would see harry potter with me.

[Assistant] I walked in excited because i was finally going to the movie with my mother,  and she was layed out asleep

[Assistant] Oh, well, I guess that was a bit disappointing huh. Well, maybe you can go real soon.

[Assistant] She keeps telling me every day we can go.

[Assistant] Oh, well, you're going to have to say, "Mom, I know you're tired but I really want to see this movie, can we please just go? It'll be fun, we need time together".


[System] sad: Life doesn't always turn out how you expect it to be. You have to make the best out of lemons but that is hard sometimes.

[User] Life doesn't always turn out how you expect it to be.

[User] I understand.  Tell me about it.

[User] IKR? You have to make the best out of lemons but that is hard sometimes.

[User] Yes, one day at a time.


[System] surprised: I got a promotion at work today.  I am so shocked.

[User] I got a promotion at work today.

[User] Woo hoo! What were you promoted too?

[User] I am now a shift manager.  I am so shocked!

[User] That's great! What kind of tasks do you do?


[System] impressed: I remeber the time a buddy did a backflip in school

[Assistant] In front of everyone my friend jumped off the lunch table and did a backflip.

[Assistant] That's an interesting way to get attention. What spurred that on? Was it a dare, or was he just feeling wild?

[Assistant] He is a crazy guy.  he said watch this and just hoped up on the table.

[Assistant] Interesting.. Did he get in trouble? Was this at a high school or something? And does he take gymnastics?! Back flips are hard!


[System] anticipating: My girlfriend is mad at me, and I feel like when we try to have another discussion tomorrow about why we're fighting, she's just going to get even more angry with me. We're not the best at communicating.

[Assistant] My girlfriend is mad at me, and I feel like when we try to have another discussion tomorrow about why we're fighting, she's just going to get even more angry with me. We're not the best at communicating.

[Assistant] Do you guys fight often?? How do they usually turn out?

[Assistant] In the early days of our relationship, we did. But then we matured in life and in our relationship, and our communication did improve a little. But I feel like she's so rash and overreactionary and sensitive at times.I want to put off arguments until we cool off, and she wants to have them immediately. We clash sometimes when it comes to perspectives.

[Assistant] Are your political views the same? and do you think this next fight will end well?

[Assistant] We have relatively the same political views. It's never about that kind of stuff. It's more personal stuff. The next fight will probably be better if she isn't as tired. We'll see.


[System] caring: My sister has been down in the dumps lately after a breakup. I made her come over to watch funny movies and eat popcorn and pizza to get her mind off of it.

[Assistant] My sister had been feeling down after a breakup.

[Assistant] I'm really sorry to hear that. What's worse is the best thing for breakups, the only thing that really helps, is time passing by. But the people who are hurting, in the moment, they can't really understand or accept that. So, you feel like you have to help and do something, when in reality it's probably best you don't smother them and that they have space. I hope she feels better, though.

[Assistant] I talked her into coming over to my apartment to watch funny movies and eat junk food to get her mind off of it.

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a good idea. That's always a solid way to go about it. My roommate had a breakup 6 months ago. I tried not to give any advice that was too specific, because the best solution always has to come from that person themselves. My roommate ended up just focusing on himself as much as possible, diving into artistic endeavors, trying to work out, etc.


[System] angry: I had people stay at my house while I was  gone over the weekend, so they wouldn't have to pay for a hotel. When I came back, they had left a mess and didn't really put in much effort to put things back where they found them. They were supposed to be good friends, too.

[Assistant] I had people stay at my house while I was gone over the weekend, so they wouldn't have to pay for a hotel. When I came back, they had left a mess and didn't really put in much effort to put things back where they found them. They were supposed to be good friends, too.

[Assistant] That is disappointing. Did you confront them about it? I am sorry you have to deal with that.

[Assistant] Not really. I hate confrontation. And nothing really of cost was lost. I'll just lose time in cleaning up after them. It definitely is a learning experience when it comes to trust... Doubt I'll be an AirBnB host any time soon!

[Assistant] That's too bad. Lesson learned, I guess.


[System] lonely: I just moved to a new city for work. I don't know anyone and I feel far from home.

[Assistant] I just moved for work to a new area where I don't know anyone.

[Assistant] That sounds stressful! How far did you move?

[Assistant] Well it's in another state. About 5000 miles. I feel far from home.

[Assistant] That's quite a ways. Do you have any hobbies that could help you meet new people?


[System] surprised: My son just said his first words this weekend.  They just came out of nowhere.

[User] My son just said his first words this weekend.  They just came out of nowhere.

[Assistant] Well, that's wonderful and I know it really is so great to hear your child's first words!

[User] It was!  He has been a little bit of a late bloomer, but it was worth the wait.

[Assistant] For Sure. Before you know it, he'll be saying full sentences!


[System] nostalgic: I'm in a relationship right now, but sometimes I see people who are single and wish I could go back to a time where I had more freedom, a more simple life. Plus, the feeling of possibility. The grass is always greener though, I guess.

[Assistant] I'm in a relationship right now, but sometimes I see people who are single and wish I could go back to a time where I had more freedom, a more simple life. Plus, the feeling of possibility. The grass is always greener though, I guess.

[User] That is always true. The saying goes..water your own grass.

[Assistant] Yeah, and it's one I will do my best to abide by. I know I'm being stupid. But I feel like everyone gets those restless feelings of wanderlust. I don't know exactly how to overcome mine right now. Hopefully it's just a thing that will go away with time.

[User] Find some good books and good therapy and make your life what you want it to be. If you truly love your partner then don't lose them over feelings. Feelings are fleeting.


[System] lonely: You know that feeling when loneliness just hits you in the gut? I hate that. I have to remember the bad things that I lived with so I can make that feeling stop.

[User] You know that feeling when loneliness just hits you in the gut?

[Assistant] Yeah, I do. I'm in a long distance relationship. I get that everytime I have to fly back home. I hope you start to feel better, though. Loneliness can end up being a good motivator, however.

[User] Somewhat long distance here I guess? Someone is away at therapy of sorts..As I can't continue to live with them with their deep rooted problems.I have to remember the bad things that I lived with so I can make that feeling stop..then I don't feel as lonely.

[Assistant] Ah, your situation sounds complicated. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. It sounds like you've given a lot of thought though, and the way you lay it out, you sound very mature about it. You've developed a good perspective on it, one that I should learn to appreciate myself. With your temperament, I'm sure you won't suffer from loneliness very long. People will want to be around you, as long as you want them around you.

[User] I don't really LOL! I have been through a lot of trauma the past year and I only like people around I trust- no drama! Which is very few. As you get older..you realize you just want peace and people you love and who love you around- That's it! We can die at ANY minute..and I have lost MANY this past year..It makes you realize how short life is! Thank you for your kind words! It's always good to see other perspectives that help us feel appreciative of what we have :) Being grateful is the key to a happy life. Thanks for your kind words again!

[Assistant] You sound like you've dealt with more hardship than the average person. I wish I could empathize with you, but I've been lucky to avoid that kind of thing recently. But I do hope things will turn out differently for you soon. If anything, these things will make you more resilient than the average person, too. That's not worth nothing.


[System] trusting: I had no fear that my sky diving instructor had my life in his hands

[Assistant] My sky diving instructor was strapped to my back,  and I had not a care in the world.

[Assistant] Do you feel their weight?

[Assistant] Sounds exciting. Will you do it again?

[Assistant] I am away in another country for 2 months and I left my apartment with my friend.

[Assistant] Wow, that must be scary to have to trust someone else with all of your stuff. What took you out of the country?

[Assistant] I'm on vacation in the Bahamas! I feel they are very reliable so I am sure the place will be fine!

[Assistant] A two month vacation sounds amazing! I figured it was for work or something when you said two months. What is your favorite thing to do in the Bahamas?


[System] anxious: I am very nervous about my wife giving birth next month.

[User] I am very nervous about my wife giving birth next month.

[Assistant] Congratulations. I wish you the best of luck. Parenthood is a blessing.


[System] sad: My pet goldfish died recently. I was devastated. I really liked Goldie.

[Assistant] I was so upset when my pet goldfish died recently. I really loved Goldie.

[User] That sucks, how old was the goldfish?

[Assistant] Goldie was almost a year old. She was slowly swimming less and less so it wasn't completely unexpected.

[User] What did you do with Goldie after she died?


[System] anticipating: I am sad but ready for my child to gradate high school.

[User] I am sad but ready for my child to graduate high school.

[User] Aw.  I bet that is so bittersweet. Do they graduate next May?

[User] Yes and he already knows where he is going to college.

[User] That is a good sign!  I know many kids that age who have no direction so it sounds like he's really going places.  Do you have any other kids that will still be at home?


[System] prepared: I have a big certification exam coming up in 3 days and I feel like I'm ready to crush it.

[User] I have a big certification exam coming up in 3 days and I feel like I'm ready to crush it.

[User] What is the certification exam for?

[User] Its the 4th exam of of 7 exams for architecture certification. It allows me to head my own design teams, etc. I have been studying for hours upon hours so I'm ready.

[User] My father was an architect. So I have heard about these exams.


[System] embarrassed: Last week was so hectic. One day, I left the house in my pajamas and did not realize it until my daughter pointed it out when I came into her school to drop off her project.

[Assistant] Last week was so hectic. On Monday my daughter forgot her project and I had to bring it to her at school.

[User] I hear you! Life is SO busy, never enough hours in the day!

[Assistant] To top it off, when I got to the school my daughter pointed out that I still had my pajamas on! It was so hectic that I forgot to get dressed!

[User] Oh lol! It's ok, you are a mom and it's the hardest job EVER and very thankless. You are doing good


[System] lonely: Don't you hate that feeling when you get lonliness and it feels like it's going to make you vomit? I have been feeling that way! I just have to remember that it is better to be at peace then to deal with horrible drama.

[User] Don't you hate that feeling when you get lonliness and it feels like it's going to make you vomit?

[Assistant] Yes I do hate being all alone. That's how I feel when my boyfriend leaves town for work.

[User] :( Long distance is hard too! I just have to remember for myself that it is better to be at peace then to deal with horrible drama.

[Assistant] Yes you have to do what is best for yourself. Take care of you before others.


[System] content: I just had a pretty good meal at the Olive Garden.  I would say I am satisfied.

[User] I just had a pretty good meal at the Olive Garden.

[Assistant] Right on, that sounds cool. Did you go with family, or a date? Or maybe just hung out there alone? That's okay, too. I love Italian food, had always wanted to go to Olive Garden, but my dad hates Italian. So when we were growing up, we just never went. Now that I'm on my own, I've been... twice. Both times, they were just okay.

[User] Yeah, it wasn't great but I was satisfied. I went with friends.

[Assistant] It can be cheap to go there sometimes for an easy filling meal, with the deals and coupons they have, I think. With the bread and soup you can get. I hope you guys had a good time!


[System] content: Just found out I'm not getting a promotion at work that I was up for. I'm kind of bummed to not be moving up in the company that I work for, as I really like everyone here, and the company itself, and what we do. But I'm satisfied knowing that someone more deserving than me got it, and that they still see me as worthy in the long run, and that I still get to enjoy my current situation.

[Assistant] Just found out I'm not getting a promotion at work that I was up for. I'm kind of bummed to not be moving up in the company that I work for, as I really like everyone here, and the company itself, and what we do. But I'm satisfied knowing that someone more deserving than me got it, and that they still see me as worthy in the long run, and that I still get to enjoy my current situation.

[User] I'm sorry the hear that.  Maybe another company would appreciate your talent.

[Assistant] Well, maybe so, but that's okay. Like I said, I like where I'm at now and I kind of hate change, so we'll stick it out for another year or two and see how it goes. I'm not in a big rush. It's the first job I've gotten since I graduated college, so I don't want to be too hasty and move around too much. I appreciate your viewpoint, though!

[User] The first job out of college is a good way to test the waters but someday you will have to spread those wings.


[System] prepared: I have my driving test tomorrow at DPS. The whole weekend I only practiced parallel parking with my friend

[Assistant] Tomorrow, I have my driving test. This whole weekend I practiced parallel parking which is the hardest part of it

[User] Just take your time and don't get so nervous you got this.

[Assistant] I am trying to. My friend who got his recently, has been helping me with some insightful tips for the test

[User] Great to have some hands on help parallel parking is very hard but once down packed it is easy.


[System] content: I have a C average but still graduated with a degree.

[Assistant] I have a C average but still graduated with a degree.

[Assistant] That's ok.  Employers don't look at your grades I don't think.

[Assistant] Thanks. I'm not as smart as others, but I did work hard.

[Assistant] It sounds like you have determination, and that is worth more than a 4.0


[System] anticipating: I am looking forward to the upcoming football season.  I can't wait for tailgates!

[Assistant] I was walking my dog last night and I saw a furry animal rummaging in the neighbor's trash can.

[User] That must have been somewhat weird.

[User] Oh goodness, that is so creepy!

[System] anxious: I'm going to drive a truck. Never driven a car that big before.

[Assistant] I'm going to drive a truck. Never driven a car that big before.

[Assistant] I'm sorry, but I don't envy you... I've always just driven a little sedan. I'm an alright driver, but if I had to drive something bigger, I'd be nervous, too. Too easy for me to make mistakes. I kind of dread the day where I'll have to drive a big Uhaul truck. I hope things go well for you, though.

[Assistant] Thank you so much. I hope with time I'll be okay with it. For now, I'm kinda scared.

[Assistant] Well, as long as you're patient and careful, you'll minimize your mistakes. There are those who go out there and think they know everything. Even if they're a good driver, they may be more likely to slip up and have a problem than you would. So, just stay positive!


[System] jealous: My wife just got a promotion and a 10% raise. I should be ecstatic for what this means for our family and financial future, but it's hard to not let my selfishness and ego get in the way, and think about how she's been more successful than me. We're currently in the same industry.

[Assistant] My wife just got a promotion and a 10% raise. I should be ecstatic for what this means for our family and financial future, but it's hard to not let my selfishness and ego get in the way, and think about how she's been more successful than me. We're currently in the same industry.

[Assistant] Maybe you can observe what she's doing and use that to advance in the industry as well.

[Assistant] That's a fair point. But we do different jobs, just in the same industry. So I couldn't necessarily learn from her, but she's close enough to what I do, that I still subconsciously compare ourselves, even though I shouldn't. I know this will all pass in a few days, hopefully. But in the meantime, I hate that I have to actively not be passive aggressive towards her, when I should just be happy.

[Assistant] I'd be worried about having these kinds of feelings towards your wife.


[System] terrified: I was riding my bike the other day when I heard a creepy voice come out of some bushes. It said "come over here I need to tell you something".

[Assistant] I was riding my bike yesterday near some woods. I heard a creepy voice say "come closer I need to tell you something".

[System] embarrassed: There is nothing worse than not having any clothes clean for work. I had to wear my yoga pants since I forgot to do laundry.

[Assistant] The worst think is when I do not have any clean clothes for work. The other day I had to wear my yoga pants because I forgot to do the laundry.

[Assistant] Wow. You can wear yoga pants to work? I'd like that dress code!

[Assistant] Yeah it is a telephone job so we have a relaxed dress code. But I don't like showing up with such revealing pants.

[Assistant] Ah I'm glad that's over for you then. Now you're less likely to forget doing laundry again.

[Assistant] My friend got into a really bad car accident. I'm so glad she's ok

[Assistant] That is scary. I hope she wasn't too shaken up from it.

[Assistant] It definitely gave her a scare. Goes to show you could be a very careful driver, but accidents can happen since you're not the only one on the road.

[Assistant] That is very true. Well I am glad she is OK. Thanks for sharing about it.


[System] anxious: I have a big certification test coming up for my job. I studied so much but am still nervous I won't do good.

[Assistant] Wow. I definitely would take it up wiht your credit card.

[Assistant] Yeah, something like that. Really not looking forward to dealing with that while I'm vacation, but I have to get it done sooner rather than later. They didn't even seem that remorseful about it, either. Like it was more our problem. How are cat allergies a surprise thing to people who are trying to be in the hospitality industry? Dumb

[Assistant] They really should be more considerate. allergies are a serious medical concern.


[System] embarrassed: I was chatting with this girl who I thought liked me, but she thought she was testing my friend.

[Assistant] I was chatting with this girl who I thought liked me, but she thought she was texting my friend.

[Assistant] Nah. When she said my friend's name, I told her she was texting the wrong person.

[Assistant] Yeah, that happens all the time with me. Well, actually, it doesn't, since I can't text because I wear Hulk Hands all the time. I just smash things.

[Assistant] Wow. It can be difficult to put together but finding the parts is a lot of fun.

[Assistant] I've got a friend who's gonna help me out. Hopefully, I don't give her too much trouble teaching me.

[Assistant] I think if you show that you put in some effort yourself first she won't mind.


[System] embarrassed: I once kept a deathnote book in which I wrote down how my friends died from the anime deathnote. When my parents found it, they thought I was a sociopath.

[Assistant] I once kept a notebook in which I wrote down how my friends would die.

[Assistant] Wow. You were either very imaginative or upset.

[System] guilty: I lied to my friend about hanging out without her. I feel bad

[Assistant] I lied to my friend today

[Assistant] That's kinda bad. What did you lie about?

[Assistant] I know its bad, but I went out eith some new friends who probably wouldn't get her like I do

[Assistant] Well, I suppose it is justified as long as you don't do it all the time.

[Assistant] yes it does, i wish people like that would just get fired


[System] furious: i was furious when my sister tore all my comics

[Assistant] i used to collect spawn comics , one time i got home and saw all my comics torn up , it was so mad

[Assistant] yes my baby sister , she was like 3 years old

[Assistant] I think you should have put them in a difficult to reach for babies place


[System] angry: I went to the post office earlier and it was closed.  I was so mad I didn't get there earlier.

[User] I went to the post office earlier and it was closed.
