  • I find it odd that they are doing this slowly. Is there a reason for it? I was thinking that it’s a distraction. Keep doing it slowly, and you can use the victims as a scapegoat. That or they’re just sadistic?

    The reason I was thinking as a scapegoat is because they now went after Iran. But maybe I just don’t know enough about the subject

    Edit: I suppose also it’s probably easier to mask as “justified” when they kill at random, VS a one and done destruction of the entire region. It bothers me that Western countries are supplying Israel with military aid, though. I don’t want my tax dollars being wasted. never mind going to genocide. It’s awful.




  • Ah, yes, that’s true. Sorry, I’m not sure if it came off that way. It’s not that I’m trying to be friends with a therapist. I just don’t want to feel like I’m being judged or criticized?

    I’ve only had a few therapists, and one didn’t really do anything, and it felt like a scam, another one tried having me do CBT and I didn’t really find it very helpful after a while and another seemed OK but also it felt like I was being scrutinized or judged. They seemed like they were analyzing me without giving me anything to take away from the experience.

    Thank you for the information. I appreciate it a lot. I’ve thought about running something locally but I’m not sure if it is practical yet depending on how long it takes


  • I’ve been using AI therapist tools sometimes. I feel torn because I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of my problems are caused by external factors that can’t really be fixed. So would speaking to a real person actually make a difference?

    I would probably like to speak with a real therapist, but it’s expensive, time-consuming, and I’ve never met one that I feel can fully relate to or understand me. I always feel like I’m silently judged or like they genuinely have no helpful way to help me. So… in a way, the AI tools can at least let me talk through things and get to a more stable place mentally when I need it.

    The whole aspect feels wrong, though. Like I realize that I have a problem, but with little to no ways to actively fix it, I kind of have to accept it and / or ignore it. I can relate in some ways to how these people feel. When I’ve been in a vulnerable state, sometimes having a chat bot reply and bounce ideas back and forth can feel emotionally stimulating and reassuring. I find that alarming sometimes when I take a step back and try to process those feelings, though. Then there’s the whole issue of what these company’s are doing with the data and information gathered from their users.
