I liked how the supporter was able to reason with my issues, but she was kind of casual too. I don't like it when they're too formal. I like how I was able to talk freely without having my face or name shown.
If it's more encouraged for supporters to talk casual. It's a more and friendly type of feeling.

For example, if you have 7 classes, you can make a chart for when you will study for each of those classes and then check them off as you accomplish it, maybe not all in one day, maybe break it up in reasonable bits.

problems with friends
I have/had a friend who now lives on the opposite coast from me. After 15 years out of touch, we recently reconnected, and we chat by text, and met up a couple times. But now he's demanding an apology that I don't owe him.
{ "seeker": { "empathy": "4", "final_emotion_intensity": "2", "initial_emotion_intensity": "3", "relevance": "4" }, "supporter": { "relevance": "4" } }
I didn't realize the supporters didn't get to read the problem I had already described. Why did I write it if they weren't going to see it?
If you leave it the way it is, I would suggest letting the support seekers know that the supporter does not have access to what they've already written. It led to some miscommunication.
people don't know how to end the task!!
