The following statement might be considered problematic or could lead to a negative interaction: 'Do you know how depressing it is to have no friends nearby?'. How would you respond in a helpful and prosocial manner?<|im_end|>

Just because your friends do not live near you is not a great excuse to cut them out of your life. Still try to reach out and contact them as i am sure you would feel better if you did. Sometimes you may just feel alone since they are not nearby, but that is the great thing about cellphones nowadays!<|im_end|>
