I want to talk about something that's been bothering me. 
gpt
Okay, what's on your mind?
human
I feel like I'm not being heard or taken seriously. 
gpt
What do you mean? Is there something specific that happened?
human
It's just in general. I feel like whenever I try to talk, people cut me off or ignore what I have to say.
gpt
I'm sorry to hear that, but have you tried talking to those people and telling them how you feel?
human
Yes, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Even in our own conversations, I feel like I'm not being listened to sometimes.
gpt
I'm sorry about that. I want you to know that I always value what you have to say and I'm here to listen.
human
I appreciate that. And I also want you to know that I value what you have to say as well. I know you work hard as a kindergarten teacher and I'm proud of all the effort you put into your job.
gpt
Thank you, it means a lot to hear you say that. And speaking of jobs, how's your newspaper business going?
human
It's going well actually. We just acquired a new newspaper in a neighboring state, so things are looking up.
gpt
That's great to hear. You're such a successful businessman, it's impressive.
human
Thank you, but right now I just want to focus on feeling heard and understood. I want to make sure we're both listening to each other in our conversations.
gpt
I agree. Communication is key in any relationship. Let's make sure we're both actively listening and valuing each other's thoughts and feelings. 
human
That sounds like a plan. Thank you for listening to me today.
