Please help me!

My code is supposed to prompt the user for how they are feeling.
If they say "good", "great" or "well" it is supposed to respond with "Super! Tell me more."
If the user says "bad", "sad", or "not", it is supposed to respond "Sorry to hear that. Tell me more."
If they say anything else it should say "I see. Tell me more."
It is then just supposed to loop asking that question forever.
I think I went about making this code in a very roundabout way with too many variables and condition statements because I am very new to coding. However, I still don't know why it isn't working.
Please help!

strcmp returns zero if the strings are equal
