If you're feeling any type of way, and really just need to talk to someone, there's a WAY better option than AI. Crisis textline always has trained volunteers more than willing to hear you out and chat with you!!

i volunteer at CTL and yes we’re always available 24/7 ☺️☺️ just a note though, evenings/nights and weekends tend to be busiest so we get a high volume we’re not ignoring you just working on getting to you!!

I mean what if it’s not necessarily a crisis? Like you just want advice

AI is a great option because it has endless patience, won't judge, and doesn't have a 'send the cops' button

Yeah, no. When I was suicidal, I called and talked to someone who didn't make a lick of sense. If I hadn't locked tf in, I probably would have killed myself on account of how stupid the shit he said was. I'm actively grieving and he told me to wait while he pulls up a list of several state resources I can reach out to for help. All I needed was someone to speak to, which I said.

im sorry you had this experience love. i get frustrated at the others too sometimes because they seem too robotic or “professional”. im really glad that you’re still here today despite everything 😞♥️

it also does not reflect real human interaction. which is incredibly important in learning how to communicate.
