human
I just can't believe that my mother forgot my birthday. She never forgets.
gpt
I understand that you're upset, but it's not the end of the world.
human
But it's not just that. It's like no one cares about me and what I want. I always have to do things for other people.
gpt
I don't think that's entirely true. You do a lot of things for yourself, too.
human
Well, yeah, I have to take care of myself. No one else is going to do it for me.
gpt
I think it's important to be self-sufficient, but sometimes you have to consider other people's feelings, too.
human
I know, I know. It's just hard sometimes when I feel like no one else is thinking about me.
gpt
Have you talked to your mother about how you feel?
human
No. I don't want to make a big deal out of it.
gpt
I think it would be worth it to let her know how you feel. Maybe she didn't mean to forget.
human
Maybe. I just don't want to be a burden on anyone.
gpt
You're not a burden. And it's okay to ask for help or to express your feelings.
human
Thanks for understanding. And for helping me with that table the other day.
gpt
Of course. I'm always here to help.
