I just feel like I can't do anything right anymore.
gpt
Why do you say that?
human
Ever since I was criticised, I've been constantly monitoring my behaviour to make sure I don't mess up again.
gpt
Hmm, I understand how you feel. But you can't let the fear of being criticised stop you from living your life.
human
I know, but it's easier said than done.

Remember when I got lost in the city and asked the police officer for help? I was so embarrassed, but it was necessary. Sometimes, asking for help is the right thing to do.
human
That's true. And speaking of feeling embarrassed, I just remembered that I borrowed that videotape from my friend and never returned it.
gpt
Oh yeah, I remember you mentioning that. Did you return it yet?
human
No, but I need to do it soon. I hate feeling guilty about it.
gpt
Well, just remember that it's never too late to make things right. And the same goes for seeking reassurance. You don't have to rely on others to validate your behaviour.
human
You're right. I need to work on being more confident in my decisions and not worrying about what others think.
gpt
Exactly. You got this.
