Hey, honey, can we talk for a minute?
gpt
Sure, what's on your mind?
human
Well, I'm going to be giving a paper at the annual conference next week, and I'm feeling really nervous about it.
gpt
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. What's making you nervous?
human
I'm just not sure how the audience is going to react. I really want it to go well, but I'm worried that people will find my ideas boring or unoriginal.
gpt
I see. Well, I think that's a normal feeling to have. It's natural to feel nervous before something like this.
human
Yeah, I know, but I just can't shake this feeling of dread.
gpt
Well, have you considered practicing your presentation in front of friends or family? Getting some feedback might help you feel more confident.
human
That's a good idea. I'll definitely give that a try.
gpt
And remember, even if not everyone in the audience loves your paper, that doesn't mean it wasn't important or valuable. You have something to say, and it's worth sharing.
human
Thanks, babe. That means a lot coming from you.
gpt
Of course. And if you need anything else, just let me know. I'm here to support you.
human
I know, and I appreciate that more than you know. You're always there for me, through thick and thin.
gpt
That's what best friends are for, right?
