I've been struggling with something lately.

What's on your mind?
human
I'm having trouble with a decision I need to make, but I haven't asked for your advice.
gpt
Why not?
human
I feel nervous and unsure around you. I don't want you to think I'm incompetent or stupid if I ask for help.
gpt
Honey, you know I would never think that. I'm here to support you, and sometimes it takes a strong person to ask for help.
human
I know, I just feel like I need to be independent and figure things out on my own.
gpt
You can still be independent and ask for advice. It doesn't mean you're not capable of making your own decisions.
human
I see what you're saying. It's just hard for me to overcome this fear of looking foolish.

We all have moments of doubt and uncertainty. It's okay to ask for help. Let's talk about what's been on your mind and see if we can come up with a solution together.

Thank you, I appreciate your support and understanding. This actually reminds me of when we talked about my struggle with drugs in high school. I felt like I couldn't ask for help because it would make me look weak.
gpt
Yes, and remember how we worked together to overcome that challenge? We can do the same thing now.
human
You're right. I'm glad we can always work through things together.
