I don't know why, but I just don't like being in the spotlight.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I mean, I'm just not that comfortable being the center of attention. It makes me really nervous.
gpt
Is there a specific reason why?
human
I'm not sure. I've just always been that way. I'd much rather blend into the background and not be noticed.
gpt
I understand that. But sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone.
human
I know. I'm trying, but it's hard.
gpt
Remember when we talked about you being passive?
human
Yeah, I remember.
gpt
Do you think that might be connected to your shyness?
human
Actually, that makes a lot of sense. I do tend to avoid confrontations and tense situations.

Maybe it's something you can work on. You can start by speaking up more often.

I'll try my best. I appreciate your support.
