I just couldn't take it anymore today. My friend wouldn't stop talking about her problems even though I tried to change the subject.

That must have been frustrating. Do you think she was just having a tough day?
human
I don't know, but it felt like she was just using me as a sounding board. I wanted to help her, but I also had other things to do.

I understand how you feel. Maybe you can gently let her know that you only have a few minutes to talk but that you still care about what she's going through.
human
That might be a good idea. I don't want to come across as cold, but I also don't want to be her therapist all the time.
gpt
Yeah, it's important to set boundaries. Speaking of which, how are you doing with your own stress levels lately?
human
Actually, I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed with work and everything else going on. Maybe I should take a break this weekend and relax.

That sounds like a good plan. Let's make sure we prioritize self-care this weekend.
