You seem a little down. Is there anything you'd like to talk about?

I just don't feel like I'm good enough lately
user

So you are experiencing feelings of inadequacy? That is very sad. Can you tell me why you think you feel this way? Has anything changed lately?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yes I feel very inadequate. Recently my best friend and I can't get along. She's always upset at me about things I'm doing
user

I am sorry to hear that. I've experienced difficulties with friendships too. Do you think you can talk with her?
assistant
Self-disclosure
I've tried taking to her, usually she gets very angry with me and starts yelling. She never listens to what I have to say.

It sounds a little as though her behaviour is toxic. Does the friendship really mean that much to you?
assistant
Others
She means so much to me and she's my only friend.
user

So you feel that the friendship is worth fighting for, but she is not being responsive?
assistant
Reflection of feelings
More than that, she's not being supportive of my decisions and that's all I want
user

Was there one specific thing that triggered this or had it been coming for a long time?
assistant
Question
She hates my boyfriend, she wants me to leave him. If i don't she doesn't want to hang around me as much. She said I have to choose him or her.

Would you consider having some counselling together? Perhaps talk through what is going on? She has no right to issue you with an ultimatum like that.

She moved all of her things out of our dorm room we share just because I'm still with my boyfriend. I woukd do counselling but I'm not sure she would

I really feel as though you are the one putting all the effort in here and she is just making selfish demands on you. Perhaps it is time to try and make some new friends? Join a society or something?
assistant
Others,Providing Suggestions
I've realized I want to spend the rest of my life with my boyfriend and I don't think she'll like that.

I think you know deep down what is the best thing to do. You don't need selfish people in your life.
assistant
Others
I'm a little reluctant, I'm very shy and struggle with making new friends, that's why she is do important to me.

You have your boyfriend though :). He will always be there for you - and not treat you as badly as she has!
assistant
Others
Yes that's true. What do I say to her?
user
null
I don't think you owe her an explanation after how she has behaved. Leave her to make the next move I hope I have been able to help you a little!
assistant

The problem is we technically share a room. She does come in occasionally.
user

I know that you must feel that this could be a problem but I think you will be able to just ignore her. I am afraid I must leave for my next appointment now.
