I'm practicing acting tough. It makes me feel more confident.
gpt
Really? I've never seen you do that before.
human
Yeah, I used to do it as a kid. I guess it just stuck with me.
gpt
Does it actually work?
human
It does for me. When I feel tough, I feel like I can handle anything.

That's interesting. Maybe I should try it too.
human
Go ahead, see how it feels.
gpt
Okay." *stands up straight and tries to scowl* "I feel ridiculous.

Do you think it would work in a real situation though?

I don't know, maybe it could give you the confidence you need to stand up for yourself.

I'll keep that in mind.

Speaking of standing up for yourself, remember that time you confronted your boss about that project?

Yeah, I was so nervous but I knew I had to speak up.
human
That took a lot of courage. You were definitely acting tough that day.
