I've been thinking about what we talked about the other day. I want to be a better friend to you, but I don't know where to start.
gpt
That's sweet of you, dear. What do you think is the problem?
human
I don't know, sometimes I feel like I'm not very supportive or understanding.
gpt
Well, it's all about communication. You can start by really listening to me when I talk, and responding in a helpful way. And if you don't understand something, just ask. It's important to show empathy and be there for your friend.

That's great advice, thanks. It's hard sometimes, because I don't always know what to say.

It's okay, it's not about having all the answers. Sometimes just being there to listen and hold space for your friend is enough. And if you're really concerned about something, don't hesitate to offer help or support.
human
You're right. I'm going to make an effort to be more supportive and understanding from now on.

That's all I can ask for. We're in this together, and I know you'll make a great friend.
