I need to talk to you about something that's been bothering me lately.
gpt
Sure, what's on your mind?
human
I feel like you don't listen to me when I talk. You always talk about yourself and your own experiences, but you don't seem interested in what I have to say.
gpt
I'm sorry if I give you that impression. I guess I just get caught up in my own stories sometimes.
human
It's not just that. I also feel like you don't take my opinions seriously. Whenever we have a disagreement, it's like you automatically assume that you're right and I'm wrong.
gpt
I see what you mean. I'll try to be more conscious of that in the future.
human
It's just frustrating for me, because I want to have a better relationship with you. I want to feel like we're equals in our conversations and that we both value each other's opinions.
gpt
I understand. And I want that too. Maybe we can work on our communication skills together.
human
That's a good idea. It reminds me of when we talked about how stylish you are. You always make sure you look put together, and I admire that. Maybe we can take that same level of care in our conversations with each other.

I like that analogy. Just like I pay attention to the little details in my appearance, we can pay attention to the little details in our conversations and make sure we're really listening to each other.
