human
I'm sorry, I know I haven't been paying attention to you lately.
gpt
You say that now, but it's been going on for a while. It seems like you're always distracted.
human
I know, and I feel terrible about it. I promise I'll start listening better.
gpt
I hope so. It's just really frustrating when I feel like you're not hearing me. Remember when we talked about how you sometimes speak without thinking first? It's kind of like that.
human
Yeah, I remember. It's like I need to take a step back and really focus on what you're saying. And speaking of things we talked about in the past, remember when I told you about my debt?
gpt
Yeah, what about it?
human
Well, I've been working hard to pay it off and save for a down payment on a house. It's been tough, but I think we're making progress.
gpt
That's good to hear. I'm proud of you for taking control of your finances.
human
Thanks, I'm trying. And speaking of trying, remember when you were trying to fix that broken vase a few years ago?
gpt
Ugh, that was a nightmare. But yeah, I finally managed to glue it all back together.
human
Exactly. You didn't give up, even though it was frustrating and difficult. And that's what I'll do with this listening thing. I won't give up until I'm really hearing you.
gpt
I appreciate that. I think it's definitely something we need to work on. But for now, can you just hear me when I talk?
human
Absolutely. I'm all ears.
