Is there something specific that frustrates you?
assistant
People who cut me off in traffic.
user
Would it help if you thought about what these drivers are going through?
assistant
Maybe, how do I put myself in their shoes?
user
It’s not easy to do, but some things that make it harder for you to understand what they might be experiencing are if you assume they must be rude and inconsiderate, or that they don’t care about anyone’s wellbeing.
assistant
I see what you are saying.  I shouldn't think that way.
user
It’s common to think they’re trying to cause you harm, and it’s not true.  You can imagine they’re either angry and lost in thought, or they don’t know how important it is for you to pass safely.
assistant
I never really thought of it like that.  Thanks a lot!  You've changed my perspective!
