You know what I just realized? That feeling I had during my fifth grade presentation is the same feeling I get whenever I have to do public speaking now.
gpt
Really? I didn't know that.
human
Yeah, it's embarrassing. My palms get so sweaty and my heart races like crazy. I feel like I'm going to be sick.
gpt
Aw, honey. I'm sorry you have to go through that.
human
It's just frustrating because I know it's all in my head. I've practiced and prepared, but my nerves always get the best of me.
gpt
Have you tried any techniques to help calm your nerves before speaking?
human
Yeah, I've tried deep breathing and positive self-talk, but it only helps a little bit.
gpt
Maybe we can look into some other techniques that might work better for you.
human
That's a good idea. It's just important to me to be able to speak confidently and not let my nerves get in the way.
gpt
I understand. Remember when we talked about your embarrassing habit of singing loudly in public places?
human
Yeah, I do. What does that have to do with this?
gpt
Well, just like with your singing habit, it's important to acknowledge the issue and work on finding a solution. We can do the same with your public speaking nerves.
human
You're right. Thank you for being so supportive and understanding.
gpt
Of course. We're a family and we're always here to support each other.
human
That's exactly what I wanted to talk about a few years ago. I'm so grateful that we're building our family together.
gpt
Me too. And remember when you talked about your impressive collection of rare objects? It's pretty amazing to see how far you've come.
human
It's true. And even when I had just $100, you were there to support me and our family.
gpt
We're in this together, always.
