Am I correct?", "speaker": "sys", "strategy": "Restatement or Paraphrasing"}, {"text": "Right, plus I am nervous because I am scared that I won't do as well as I would like under the constrained time and sporadic slacking off. Just that fear as impending deadlines come up.", "speaker": "usr"}, {"text": "so I guess I need to feel hope and optimistic and renewed sense of wanting to work hard and do well.", "speaker": "usr"}, {"text": "I know exactly how you're feeling.

It sounds like you're really trying to help yourself grow.", "speaker": "sys", "strategy": "Affirmation and Reassurance"}, {"text": "Yes I hope so, because when I was younger, I used to be great at not being distracted so much in my studies and just bang it out real quick and well with my books", "speaker": "usr"}, {"text": "and all this is also worsened by the pandemic, I am afraid, of just not having a renewed from the indoor isolation.", "speaker": "usr"}, {"text": "yes, it's true people begin to struggle with focus as they reach young adulthood.", "speaker": "sys", "strategy": "Information"}, {"text": "I understand how you're feeling, COVID has affected me negatively as well but I'm just trying to look at the bright side.", "speaker": "sys", "strategy": "Self-disclosure"}, {"text": "yes it has on us all.
