I just want to make it clear that I don't want to give in to you all the time because I value my independence.
gpt
I understand that, but I don't think asking for your help or input makes you any less independent.
human
I know, but sometimes it feels like you want me to rely on you too much.
gpt
That's not true. I just want us to make decisions together and support each other. It's not about control.
human
I get that, but I don't want to feel like I'm always depending on you.
gpt
I know, and I don't want to make you feel that way. But please remember that I'm here for you, always.
human
I appreciate that, and I know I can count on you. I just need to find a balance between independence and partnership.
gpt
I agree. And speaking of being there for each other, remember how you've always been there for your friends? That's something I really admire about you.
human
Thanks. I think it's important to be there for the people you care about.
gpt
And you've always been true to your word. You never make a promise you can't keep.
human
Yes, I think integrity is very important. And that's why I want to be able to make my own decisions and not feel like I'm breaking a promise to myself.
gpt
I see what you mean. And I respect that. We'll find a way to make sure we're both happy and independent in our decisions.
