The husband feels hopeless after failing his driving test and getting into a fight with his best friend. The wife suggests shifting focus to positive things in life and encourages him to vent or talk things through.
human
I just don't know what to do anymore. It feels like everything is just going wrong.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I mean, ever since I failed my driving test and got into that fight with my best friend, everything else just seems to be falling apart.
gpt
I'm sorry you're feeling that way. But maybe it's not all that bad.
human
How could it not be bad? I feel hopeless and like there's nothing I can do to make things better.
gpt
But you do have control over some things. Like your reactions to situations.
human
Yeah, but even then, it feels like I can't catch a break.
gpt
Maybe if you try to focus on the positive things in your life, it can help you feel more in control.
human
Like what?
gpt
Like living in this big house with plenty of space to yourself. That's something not everyone has.
human
I guess you're right. But it's hard to feel grateful when everything else feels like it's going wrong.
gpt
I understand that. But maybe it's worth trying to shift your focus a little bit.
human
Yeah, maybe you're right. I'll try that.
gpt
And if you ever need to vent or talk things through, I'm here for you.
human
Thanks, I appreciate that.
