but like how do I not go crazy and vent and get all my thoughts out without being a sad chat gpt talker. I am not gonna be that person who’s friends with chat gpt. im actively trying to make more friends in the area and hang out and stuff but I need more talking during the day if that makes sense

Tbh I was veryyyyy anti gpt but this year specifically I had a lot of friends leave my life and I had no choice but to vent to an ai sometimes especially when it was very emotionally bad

and honestly I can’t even blame you for that bc it can be nice to feel like someone is listening. I just want to be wary of how it can suck you in bc it’s designed to be so validating of everything you say and I don’t want to let it get into my head too much yk. I worry about letting it validate me too much and getting too full of myself if that makes sense? but to an extent it’s nice tbh

It really sucks because a lot of the time it’s more rational and empathetic than a lot of humans.

What I’d recommend is only using it when it’s REALLY bad and journaling otherwise!!

I feel like I know I always feel better afterwards, and I almost feel *worse* if I don’t do the things
