human
I just wish I felt more special sometimes.
gpt
What do you mean, dear?
human
I don't know, I just feel like sometimes I get ignored or overlooked, and it hurts.
gpt
Is there something specific you're thinking of?
human
Well, last week when we were at that party, I felt like you were talking to everyone except me.
gpt
Oh, I'm sorry about that. I didn't realize you were feeling left out.
human
It's not just that. Sometimes it feels like you don't appreciate me or what I do.
gpt
That's not true, honey. I appreciate everything you do for me and our family.
human
I know you say that, but it doesn't always feel that way. And when I feel slighted, I tend to withdraw and sulk until I get the attention I crave.
gpt
I understand, and I don't want you to feel that way. What can I do to help you feel more appreciated?
human
I don't know, maybe just give me some extra hugs and kisses from time to time. Or tell me how much you love and need me.
gpt
Of course, I can do that. And I'll try to be more mindful of how I'm interacting with you in social situations.
human
Thank you, that means a lot to me.
gpt
Is there anything else that's been on your mind lately?
human
No, I think that's it for now.
gpt
Well, if you ever want to talk about anything else, I'm always here to listen.
human
I know, and I appreciate that about you.
