Hey, I saw you putting something in your pocket. What was it?
gpt
Just a piece of candy.
human
Oh, okay. I was wondering if it was something important.
gpt
No, just a little treat for later.
human
Got it. Sorry, I didn't mean to pry.
gpt
It's okay. Is there something else on your mind?
human
Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something.
gpt
Of course. What's on your mind?
human
I've been thinking a lot about what we talked about a few weeks ago, about you handling things on your own.
gpt
Yeah, I remember.
human
Well, I just want you to know that I'm here for you. I know you're strong and capable, but I don't want you to feel like you have to handle everything on your own.
gpt
That's really sweet of you. I appreciate it.
human
And speaking of handling things, I'm getting ready to give a paper at the annual conference and I'm feeling really nervous about it.
gpt
I'm sure you'll do great. You always do.
human
Thanks. But what if the audience doesn't react well to it? What if I make a mistake or forget something important?
gpt
That's always a possibility, but remember that you're an expert in your field. You know this topic better than anyone else and your opinion matters.
human
You're right. I just need to believe in myself more.
gpt
Exactly. And if you ever need someone to bounce ideas off of or practice your presentation with, I'm always here to help.
human
That means a lot. Thank you.
gpt
No problem. And speaking of working on things, I know you wanted to be left alone earlier so you could focus on your project. Is everything okay?
human
Yeah, just feeling a bit frustrated. I feel like I'm being criticized a lot lately for my intelligence and it's starting to get to me.
gpt
That's not fair. You're incredibly smart and talented. Don't let anyone else's opinions bring you down.
human
Thanks for saying that. You always know how to make me feel better.
gpt
That's what best friends are for.
