I feel like I always act before thinking things through. It's gotten me into trouble a lot.

Like when you started that food fight in the cafeteria without looking to see who was sitting with me?
human
Yes, exactly. And I know that I need to work on controlling my impulses better.

It's important to think about the consequences of your actions before you do something impulsive.
human
I agree. It's just hard to stop myself sometimes.

Remember when you were at the grocery store and you got frustrated waiting in line?
human
Yeah, I was really impatient.
gpt
But you didn't lash out or do anything impulsive. You waited it out and completed your purchase.
human
That's true. I need to try and apply that same patience to other areas of my life.

And it's especially important to try and control your impulses during times of grief, like when your aunt passed away.

I really miss her. It's tough not being able to see her anymore.
gpt
I know, but you have to try and control your emotions and not let them lead you to do anything impulsive that you might regret later.

You're right. I'll do my best to work on it.
