I really enjoy doing things on my own. It makes me feel independent and capable.
gpt
I know, and I think it's great that you have that sense of independence.
human
Thanks, it's something that's important to me. I don't want to rely on other people for everything.
gpt
I understand that, but sometimes it's okay to ask for help. It doesn't make you any less independent.
human
I know, but I like the feeling of accomplishment when I can do things on my own.
gpt
I can see that. Do you remember when you fixed the sink by yourself last week? You were really proud of yourself.
human
Yes, that was a great feeling. I don't think I would have felt the same sense of accomplishment if I had hired a plumber to do it.

I get it, and I support you in doing things on your own when you can. But also remember that I'm here to help you if you need it.
human
I know, thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
