I'm just really frustrated with Lily. It feels like she never listens to me.

What's been going on? Has she done something specific?

It's just that every time I try to talk to her about something, she seems disinterested and interrupts me or changes the subject.

Maybe she's just distracted or going through something herself?
human
I thought of that, but it's been happening a lot lately. I don't want to feel like my thoughts and feelings don't matter.
gpt
I understand that. Have you tried talking to Lily about how you feel?
human
I have, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Maybe I'm not expressing myself clearly enough.

You're always very thoughtful and clear about what you want to say, so I doubt that's the issue. Maybe it's just a matter of finding the right time and setting to talk to her.

That's a good point. I'll try to approach the conversation differently next time. But it still makes me feel frustrated and unheard.

I hear you. It can be tough when we feel like our thoughts and feelings aren't valued. But remember that I always value what you have to say.

Thank you. You always make me feel heard and appreciated. That's something I love about our relationship.

And I feel the same way. We always try to support each other and communicate openly. Speaking of communication, how did your conversation with your friend about running go?

Actually, it went really well. She gave me some great advice and encouragement. I'm thinking of trying out for the track team after all.
