human
Can we talk about something that's been bothering me lately?
gpt
Of course, what's on your mind?
human
Your personality and behavior have been really offensive lately. It's been making me feel angry and frustrated.
gpt
I'm sorry if I've been offensive, but can you give me some specific examples?
human
Well for one, the way you criticize everything I say and do. It feels like I can never do anything right.
gpt
I didn't realize I was doing that. I'll try to be more aware of it in the future.
human
It's not just that though. You also make snide remarks and put me down in front of other people.
gpt
I didn't mean to put you down, but sometimes I feel like you don't hear me when we're alone. I thought maybe saying things in front of others would get your attention.
human
That's not the way to get my attention though. It just makes me feel embarrassed and frustrated.
gpt
I see that now. I'll work on expressing my feelings directly to you instead.
human
I appreciate that. I just want us to be able to communicate without feeling offended or defensive.
gpt
Me too. And if there's anything else that's been bothering you, please let me know so we can work on it together.
human
Okay, I will. And can we also try to be mindful of our past conversation topics, so we can continue to grow and improve our communication?
gpt
Agreed. Let's make an effort to revisit those topics and see if we've made progress.
