Can you let me finish my sentences before interrupting me, please?
gpt
Sorry, I just get excited to respond to what you're saying.
human
I understand, but it's frustrating. I feel like you're not really listening to me.
gpt
I do listen, but sometimes I have a hard time holding back my thoughts.
human
It's not fair that I don't get the chance to fully express myself. Can we come up with a solution so that we can communicate better?
gpt
Sure, what do you suggest?
human
Maybe we could set some ground rules, like taking turns talking and not interrupting each other.
gpt
That sounds reasonable. We can work on being more mindful of how we communicate with one another.
human
That would be great. And can we also make an effort to not bring up past arguments or disagreements during our conversations?
gpt
Yes, I agree. Let's focus on the present issue and work through it together.
human
Thank you. I feel much better now that we're on the same page.
gpt
Me too. Communication is key in any relationship, and I'm glad we're taking steps to improve ours.
