I want to be a good person, so I don't fight.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I mean that I want to be kind and compassionate, even when someone is being difficult or confrontational.
gpt
I think that's a great goal to have.
human
Do you think I'm being too passive though? Like am I letting people walk all over me?
gpt
No, I think there's a difference between being a pushover and being kind. And you're definitely not a pushover.
human
That's good to hear. Because I don't want to give off the wrong impression.
gpt
I think people can tell when someone has genuine kindness and compassion, versus when someone is just being a pushover. And you definitely fall into the former category.
human
That's a relief. I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
gpt
I think as long as you follow your values and treat people with respect and kindness, you're doing the right thing.
human
You're right. And speaking of values, it reminds me of when we talked about me wanting to control you.
gpt
Yeah, I remember that. But I appreciate that you listened to me and respected my desire for independence.
human
Of course. And it's a good thing we can have these conversations and work through any issues we may have.
gpt
Absolutely. And it's also a good thing that we can enjoy things like going to In-N-Out and shopping for new blouses without any drama.
human
Definitely. I'm grateful for our happy and peaceful life together.
