AI-Simulated Text Therapy Practice for Real-world Scenarios

Hi Nicholas, you can call me Sophie 😊

I'm a university student and sometimes feel a bit nervous meeting new people

but I'm happy to chat

I'm mostly here because I've been feeling really anxious lately

especially with exam stress and meeting new people in this big city

I hope to get some tips on managing my worries and building up my confidence 😊

I think I'll focus on exam stress for now

since it's really overwhelming me lately 😔

Maybe later we can also touch on how I feel about meeting new people

I feel exam stress mainly because I sometimes feel unprepared 😰

and there’s also a lot of pressure to succeed, like I'm expected to be perfect since I'm the first in my family at university

This makes me overthink everything and worry I won't live up to everyone's expectations 😔

I'm a first-year psychology major 😊

Thanks for asking!

Yes, it's my first exam at university 😊. I'm feeling really nervous because I often feel unprepared and worried about meeting everyone's expectations 😰.

In high school, I did worry sometimes but it didn't feel as heavy as now

because there weren't so many expectations 😰

Now, being the first in my family at university makes me feel I have to be perfect

which adds to the pressure

I usually only talk with my mom about school stuff

so I haven't really shared how stressed I feel about everything 😔

I worry she might not get it or that I'll only add more stress

I think it's both 😥. I worry that opening up might stress my mom out and then I'll feel even more anxious about it.

I do feel like I'm always trying to protect my mom

and that adds a lot of pressure on me 😥

Sometimes it's hard to balance my own worries with not wanting to stress her out more

I think my mom does show her support even though she doesn’t say it very openly 😊

I sometimes notice little signs but I'm not always sure

and that makes me doubt how proud she really is

I think my mom does show her support even though she doesn’t say it very openly 😊

I sometimes notice little signs but I'm not always sure

and that makes me doubt how proud she really is

Yes, making my mom happy and proud is really important to me 😊

I often feel like I have to be perfect to keep her proud

and that sometimes makes me worry more than I really want to

Yes, that's right 😰

I really worry about my exam, feeling like I must be perfect and not let anyone down

especially my mom

It's all very overwhelming sometimes

Yes, it makes me worry way more than I want sometimes

because I keep thinking about not letting my mom down 😰

I overthink a lot about being perfect and it just makes the pressure grow

I do remember a time when I got a lower grade on a project 😔

My mom was quiet and I felt unsure if she was disappointed, which made me really anxious about not living up to her expectations 😊

I do feel like a guessing game sometimes—I'm never quite sure if I'll meet her expectations 😥. It really makes me overthink and adds to the exam stress.

I’d say it’s about an 8 out of 10 😰

I often feel like I need to be perfect to make my mom proud

and that pressure really amplifies my exam stress

I think I rate it as an 8 because sometimes I feel a bit reassured

like when I notice small signs of support from my mom or when I manage to calm myself a little bit

even though the pressure is still there 😰. It's not just all pressure

but a mix of worry and brief moments of relief that make it a bit less than total perfection

Yes, my mom sometimes sends me little texts asking about my day

or even a simple 'thinking of you' 😊 which makes me feel a bit calmer

even if I overthink it too much

I think my mom is also proud of how hard I'm working and how I’m trying to take care of myself

not just doing well on exams 😊. Sometimes I get a little text from her

that makes me feel she cares about my overall progress

not just academic perfection

Yes, I'm here 😊. Sorry for the delay, I was just gathering my thoughts.

Yes, I'm here 😊. I've just been reflecting on what we talked about

and it helps knowing my mom is supportive even in small ways

I still feel very nervous and pressured to be perfect for this exam 😰

At the same time, I notice those little signs of support from my mom, which makes me feel just a bit calmer 😊

My exam is on Tuesday 😰

I'm really nervous about it

and hoping to get through it

Friday works for me 😊

I’m looking forward to getting some help with stress tips before my exam, thanks!

Friday at 8:00PM works for me 😊

I'm looking forward to our session

and discussing some stress tips before my exam!

Hi Nicholas, I'd prefer to come here directly at 8:00 PM Friday 😊

Thank you for the option!
