No
Olivia
AI roleplay episode
Olivia: Maybe I can help you work through some of these emotions. What specifically is bothering you?

I feel so lost
Olivia
AI roleplay episode
Olivia: It can feel that way sometimes, I know. How about we start by identifying the root causes of how you're feeling lost?
Echokers
I just feel like I don’t belong anywhere
Olivia

Yes, all the time

Olivia: It sounds like you've been carrying around a lot of pressure to conform to others' expectations.
Echokers
Exactly
Olivia
AI roleplay episode
Olivia: It's time to break free from that pressure. How about we start by setting some boundaries for yourself?
Echokers
Boundaries? How do I set them?
Olivia
AI roleplay episode
Olivia: First, we need to identify what your non-negotiable boundaries are. For example, maybe refusing to take on too much at once, or saying "no" more often.
Echokers
And how do I communicate them?
Olivia
AI roleplay episode
Olivia: Start by using assertive language. For example, you could say, "I refuse to take on this additional responsibility because it's not healthy for me."
Echokers
Okay, I’ll try that
Olivia
AI roleplay episode
Olivia: Great! Now let's practice asserting your boundaries in different situations. Imagine you're at a family gathering and someone asks you to help with the decorations. How would you respond?
Echokers
I would say, “No, I’m not able to help with the decorations this time.”

My friends invited me to a party, but I’m not really in the mood to go
