Hard conversation prompt

What most people type

how do I tell my roommate I'm moving out at the end of next month without making it awkward

It works, but the AI has to guess your relationship with roommate, lease and notice terms and reason for leaving, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.

Help me tell my roommate I'm moving out at the end of next month without making it awkward. Give me:
1. A short script for saying it in person, plus a shorter text version in case I send a message instead.
2. Brief advice on timing and setting for the conversation.
3. How to handle likely reactions: surprise, hurt feelings, or worry about rent and the lease.

Context: [our relationship, e.g. close friends or just housemates]; [whether we're both on the lease and what it says about notice]; [any reason I'm leaving I'm comfortable sharing]. Keep the tone warm, direct and respectful. Don't give legal advice; just remind me to check my lease and notice requirements.

Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: our relationship, e.g. close friends or just housemates, any reason I'm leaving I'm comfortable sharing.

Why this version works

• Turned question into a clear deliverable list. Gets a usable script, not generic tips.
• Added in-person and text versions. Covers both ways people deliver this news.
• Added reaction handling. This is what makes it awkward in practice.
• Added context placeholders. Lease and relationship change the advice.
