I feel like I've been walking on eggshells lately.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
Well, ever since I was criticized, I've been trying to avoid any further criticisms.
gpt
Hmm, I didn't realize that. But I think it's good to be aware of your behavior and try to improve it.
human
I know, but it's exhausting. I feel like I have to monitor everything I do and say to make sure I don't mess up.
gpt
Maybe it's just a temporary thing. Hopefully, as you become more comfortable with yourself and your actions, you won't feel the need to constantly seek reassurance.
human
I hope so. It's just been tough.
gpt
I understand. But try not to let it consume you. Remember the other conversations we had about avoiding questions and returning the video tape? Those were also situations where you felt embarrassed or guilty, but you were able to work through them.
human
That's true. And I was able to overcome the car issue by asking my friend for help.
gpt
Exactly. You don't always have to face things alone. And just know that I'm here to support you through anything.
human
Thanks, that really means a lot to me. I guess I just need to stop worrying so much about what other people think and focus on being my best self.

That's a great mindset to have. And remember, I love you for who you are and I believe in you.
