I've been feeling so empty lately. It's like there's a void in my life that I can't fill.
gpt
Oh no, that sounds really tough. What do you think is causing it?
human
I've been thinking a lot about it and I think it's because I've been so focused on trying to control everything. I've been using manipulative tactics to get what I want and it's not fulfilling me the way I thought it would.
gpt
That's a big realization. Do you think you can change that behavior?
human
I'm going to try. I know it won't be easy, but I'm tired of feeling like this. I need to make some changes in my life.
gpt
I'm here to support you through it. Remember when we talked about how you tend to steer conversations in the direction you want them to go? Do you think that could be related to this?
human
Absolutely. I think I've been so focused on controlling everything that I haven't been listening to others or considering their perspectives. It's definitely something I need to work on.
gpt
I'm proud of you for recognizing that and taking steps to make a change. And if you ever need someone to talk to or bounce ideas off of, I'm here for you.
human
Thank you, that really means a lot to me. I'm glad we can talk about these things and support each other.
