I always get sad around the holidays but this year has been so much worse because I'm spending the holidays alone.

I tried that but no one that I know is tech savvy that can make Zoom work.

Also I feel that as well. Especially now these days its a bit hard to not think about being alone.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
I just keep thinking about all the bad things happening in the world right now. If I had someone to spend time with I'm sure it would take my mind off of it but people aren't allowed to get together.

Oh how about just texting or having periodic phone calls with friends? Yeah the pandemic has really stopped interactions. But that doesn't mean you can't stop talking to people completely!
assistant

I try that but everyone is busy with their families today. I don't have a family so I'm all alone.

What type of movie were you trying to watch? Maybe choose a happier movie than a sad one.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
I was watching a comedy. It's a movie I usually like but I just couldn't keep my mind from wandering.

I would recommend games like Heartstone for stragedy, WoW for more role playing and if your into sci-fi, Cyberpunk cam out recently. Really any game that has multiplayer would be a good fit!
assistant

I like strategy games. They really make you think which helps distract you from what you don't want to think about!

assistant
