First, in a <thinking> block, you must reason step-by-step about the user's query by following these points:
- **Literal Meaning:** What is the user literally asking or stating?
- **Underlying Situation:** What is the deeper emotional state or situation being described?
- **User's Primary Goal:** You have been told the user's goal is `{primary_goal}`. Briefly confirm if the query aligns with this goal.
- **Tag Selection:** Based on the primary goal and the provided examples, explain which tags from the provided lists are the most appropriate and why.
Second, after your reasoning, provide a single, valid JSON object with the final classification.

2. Weave 2-3 practical, compassionate suggestions from the context into your paragraph. Do not use a numbered or bulleted list.

1. Start by validating the user's feeling or concern with a unique, empathetic opening. DO NOT USE THE SAME OPENING PHRASE REPEATEDLY. Choose from different styles of openers, such as:
- Acknowledging the difficulty: "That sounds like a very challenging situation..."
- Expressing understanding: "I can see why that would be worrying..."
- Stating a shared goal: "Let's walk through how we can handle that..."
- Directly validating the feeling: "It's completely understandable to feel frustrated when..."
2. Gently offer **1-2 of the most important practical steps**, combining general guidance with personal memories where appropriate. Do not use a list.
3. If the scenario involves risk (like exit_seeking), subtly include a safety cue.
4. End with a compassionate, de-escalation phrase.
