I just can't believe how self-absorbed some people can be!
gpt
What happened?
human
Oh, I met up with my friend today, and she just wouldn't stop talking about her problems. She didn't even ask me how I was doing or anything.
gpt
That must have been frustrating.
human
It was! I mean, I'm all for being supportive, but it was so one-sided. I tried to change the subject a few times, but she just kept bringing it back to herself.
gpt
Yeah, that can be really draining. Did you tell her how you felt?
human
No, not really. I didn't want to hurt her feelings or anything, but it was just too much.
gpt
Maybe it would be good to have a conversation with her about it when you're feeling more calm. It's important to set boundaries and make sure that conversations go both ways.
human
That's a good idea. I just wish some people were more considerate.
gpt
I know, it can be really frustrating. But at least you're aware of it and can take steps to make sure it doesn't affect you too much.
human
You're right. And it's good to have someone like you to talk to about it.
gpt
Of course, that's what I'm here for. And just remember, I love you.
