human
I feel like you always keep your guard up. You never let it down, not even for a second.
gpt
Well, I feel like I need to protect myself all the time.
human
But why? Do you feel like I am not trustworthy enough?
gpt
It's not about you. It's just that life has taught me that sometimes you need to be careful and protect yourself.
human
I understand that, but it also means that you're not fully present in our relationship.
gpt
I know, and I'm sorry. I'm trying to work on it. It's just a habit that's hard to break.
human
Do you remember when we first met and I told you that I knew you were the one for me?
gpt
Yeah, of course. It feels like it was yesterday.
human
I didn't have my guard up with you. I trusted you completely and it felt amazing.
gpt
I know, and I wish I could feel that way all the time. But it's hard to let my guard down.
human
Maybe we can work on it together. I'll do my best to make you feel safe and secure, and you can try to slowly let your guard down.
gpt
That sounds like a plan. I'm willing to try if you are.
human
Absolutely. I love you.
gpt
I love you too.
