I realized something recently.
gpt
What's that?
human
I've been relying more on my friends and family for help when I need it.
gpt
That's a good thing, isn't it?
human
Yeah, it is. I used to never want to ask for help because I thought it made me look weak. But now I see that it's actually made me more mature and independent. 
gpt
I think it takes a lot of strength to ask for help.
human
Exactly. Now I know that I can handle things myself, but it's okay to ask for help when I need it.
gpt
I feel like we all need help at some point in our lives. Remember when I needed your help with the kids when I was sick last year? 
human
Yes, and I was happy to help. That's what family is for, right?
gpt
Exactly. And I think it's great that you're reaching out to your friends too. It's important to have a support system.
human
Yeah, I never realized how valuable that was until recently. But I'm grateful for all the people in my life that I can rely on.
gpt
I'm grateful too. And I'm proud of you for realizing the importance of asking for help. It shows a lot of growth on your part.
human
Thank you, honey. I'm just glad to be making progress in my personal growth.
