I don't know if you remember, but when I gave my fifth grade presentation, I was a nervous wreck.
gpt
Oh wow, I can't even imagine. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
human
Yeah, my palms were sweating, my heart was racing, and I felt like I was going to be sick.
gpt
That sounds really tough. But you still managed to go through with it?
human
Yeah, I forced myself to stay put even though I wanted to run away.
gpt
That takes a lot of courage. I'm proud of you for facing your fears.
human
Thanks. I guess it's something that I've always struggled with.
gpt
Well, it's something that a lot of people struggle with. And it's okay to feel nervous about certain things.
human
I know, but sometimes I feel like it's holding me back. Like, I could be doing more in my career if I didn't get so anxious in certain situations.
gpt
Have you thought about talking to a therapist about it?
human
I have, but I don't know if it's really worth the time and money.
gpt
I think it's always worth investing in your own mental health and well-being. Plus, it could help you in other areas of your life, not just your career.
human
That's true. I'll think about it. Thanks for listening.

Of course, I'm always here to support you. And I'm proud of you for facing your fears, even in fifth grade.
