I know we've had some disagreements lately, but I want you to know that I would never intentionally hurt you.
gpt
I understand that, but I can't help feeling nervous and unsafe around you sometimes.
human
Can you give me an example of when you felt that way?
gpt
Well, the other day when we were arguing, you seemed really angry and I was afraid you might lash out.
human
I'm sorry. I know I can get frustrated sometimes, but I promise I would never hurt you.
gpt
I appreciate that, but it's hard for me to let my guard down when I feel like this.
human
I understand. Is there anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable and safe around me?
gpt
Just be patient with me and try not to get too upset when we disagree. And maybe we can talk about things calmly instead of raising our voices.
human
Okay, that's a good idea. And just so you know, I've been thinking a lot about our past conversations and I want us to work on communicating better in the future.
gpt
I want that too. I don't want to feel nervous or unsafe around you. I just need to know that we can work through our differences without any harm coming to me.
human
I understand, and I promise we can work through this together. Let's make a plan to talk things out calmly the next time we have a disagreement. And if either of us starts getting upset, let's take a break and come back to it later.

That sounds like a good plan. I feel better knowing that we're on the same page.
