I am the psychotherapist. Please, describe your problems. Each time
you are finished talking, type RET twice.
Why do you say that?
my roommate is strange
What makes you believe
my roommate is strange?
hes not attracted towards girls
Maybe your life has something to do with this.
no , not at all
Is it because of your plans that you say
no not at all?
his behaviour is awkward and i dont get him
I don't understand.
hey mister look i am assuming that youre a mature guy and know about
what im saying
Does it bother you that youre a mature guy and know about what you are
saying?
yes very well
Perhaps the people you hang around with have something to do with
this.

yes
I would appreciate it if you would continue.

this?

Do you really think i might want to have this little more detail?
i want to learn the subject. grades come after that. i believe that if
i know the subject matter well, then i,ll able to answer the questions
asked in the exams

matter well then you ll able to answer the questions asked in the
exams?
