Ugh, I couldn't take it anymore. My friend just kept going on and on about her problems.
gpt
That sounds frustrating. Did you try to change the topic?
human
I did, but she just kept bringing it back to herself. I feel like she doesn't even care about me or what's going on in my life.
gpt
Maybe she was just really caught up in her own issues and didn't realize how long she was talking.
human
I don't know, I feel like this happens all the time with her. And it's not just her, it seems like everyone in my life only wants to talk about themselves.
gpt
That must be tough for you. But have you ever tried expressing to your friends that you want to talk about something else? They might not realize how one-sided the conversation is.
human
I haven't really thought about it. I guess I could try that next time.

Communication is key in any relationship. If you don't tell them how you feel, they'll never know.
human
You're right. Speaking of communication, there's something I wanted to talk to you about. I know I don't always say it, but I want you to know that I love you.
gpt
*smiling* Thank you, that means a lot to me.
human
I know I can sometimes be distant, but I really do care about you and our relationship.
gpt
I appreciate you saying that. It's nice to hear.
human
I just wanted to make sure you knew, especially after our last conversation.
gpt
*confused* What do you mean?
human
When we talked about how I never say I love you, I realized how important it is to express my feelings more often. And not just to you, but to everyone in my life.
gpt
I'm glad our conversation had that effect on you.
human
Me too. And if you ever feel like I'm not showing you how much I care, please let me know.
gpt
I will. And I'll do the same for you.
human
Thanks, I appreciate it. Communication really is key.
