You know, it's funny how success can sometimes drive people away.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
Well, when I started my own business, I was obsessed with making it succeed. I put in long hours, took big risks, and eventually it paid off.
gpt
I remember those times. You were always so focused on your work.
human
Right. But the downside was that I didn't have as much time for our friends and family. And when I did spend time with them, I was so fixated on my own success that I would argue with them over everything.
gpt
Yeah, I remember that too. It was hard to have a conversation with you without it turning into a debate.
human
And looking back, I realize that I was so determined to prove myself right all the time that I never really listened to other people's perspectives.
gpt
Do you regret that?
human
Yes and no. I mean, I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I wish I had found a better balance between work and personal relationships. And I wish I had been more open-minded back then.
gpt
Well, it's never too late to start. You've changed a lot since those days, and I'm glad we can have honest conversations now without arguing.
human
Me too. And I think that's something we need to work on as a society - being more willing to listen to each other and have respectful discussions instead of just trying to prove ourselves right all the time.
gpt
I agree. And who knows, maybe your success story can inspire others to find a better balance in their lives too.
