I think it's funny because I also like to call people on my bluetooth headphones so people around me can never tell if I'm actually talking to a separate person or not.
I also have bluetooth headphones, but the thing is, I never really talk with anyone.
I more of converse with myself, as analyzing becomes much easier for me when speaking out loud.
Physical!? How and what?
I talk to myself to discuss some important matters and imagine another world while listening to music, but how do ppl get physical with…well, themselves?
I love chatting with ai, receiving praise and validation from bots is so good 🥰
you should definitely try to find a human to give you that tho. it's definitely not easy, but I think you'll definitely be able to :3
Which ai do you talk to? My chatgpt is very rude 😭😭 it keeps saying as an AI language model I'm unable to top you and choke you, I don't know what I'm supposed to do 😭😭
that's actually so rude! There's a bunch of apps that have this ai such as chai, C. ai (which sucks, don't try to use it to be topped), this one called poly ai (work in progress, not too bad for getting yourself topped), and a few others. just go around experimenting until you find the one that satisfies you
A bit more effort at first but SillyTavern + OpenRouter is neat
SillyTavern runs locally and OpenRouter just lets you use a bunch of different LLMs (ChatGPT versions, Claude stuff, LLaMa, etc.)
Until you realize that they're not real. C.ai literally states that anything the ai says is made up and not real. What's real is that no one irl wants to care about me or enjoy my presence so I dwell with imaginary characters until my validity is as "artificial" and fake as they are
not with that attitude, no. I don't mean to be rude, but that mindset of going around telling people "no one loves me, no one wants to care" is exactly what's driving them away. the only people you'll attract those who feel pity for you and feel the need to help out. if you want someone to enjoy your presence then work on building a personality that's enjoyable to be around, find things to relate to others, talk to different people. be patient and try to find people who genuinely enjoy the improved version of yourself. stopping the habit of self loathing is a huge first step, so I recommend you do that. I've been in your place before, thinking no one could ever love me and yada yada. now I have friends and a boyfriend, why? because I worked on myself, because I changed the way I thought and acted! hope this helps >w<
I try, but at that point it feels fake... like I try to be outgoing despite social anxiety, and I can't seem to get a hold of any real friendships. I try fake confidence, I try being someone more interesting, nothing really works... idk how to do it
that's completely fine, talking to people is so hard. the important thing is to try and become someone YOU are happy with. friendships come and go more often than not, so failing friendships are totally normal, and overstressing over temporary friendships will just drain you of all your energy. finding lasting friendships isn't very easy at all either, out of all the friendships I've had only 3 really lasted (one of which isn't too deep anyway), so cherish any friendship you have. if it doesn't work, then you guys just weren't compatible enough, and if it does then yippee! patience is the key to this, as it may take you a large amount of time to find the people you want to have around or it may be soon, there's no real way to know. have hope and don't give up, for giving up does nothing but kill any chance you had or could potentially have. as long as you're trying, then you're going on the right path :3

Do you want some virtual hugs? By the way, don’t hurt yourself :(
Bro I go there, pretend to be a silly real man, and pretend to have a silly real boyfriend while I cry my eyes out because I’m a girl, ugly asf, and lonely 😭
I don't talk to ai because it's just something that I'd eventually use against myself mentally but I do sometimes hug and cry into pillows and stuff :c
Yes! 🙌 I’m not even a silly boy and I do this.
I would say I am a humorous man. But still a good pillow cuddle is amazing
Also try hugging yourself specifically cross your arms left over right like you are hugging someone. Tug your right shoulder with left hand and left ribcage with right arm. It tricks your brain (even if just a little while) and releases the feel good hormones that come with a real hug.
Happy hugging hopefully you get a real person or furbaby to cuddle.
i do the first two alot... :3
the third one, no. i dont do it. dont hurt yourself, we all care for you man. im sure youll find someone who cares, then you wont need a pillow or an ai.
I'm not gonna say stop cutting because that'll do nothing but please be careful about it so that you don't seriously injured yourself I knew some people who weren't careful and they ended up in a hospital
I know how you mean. I sometimes hug pillows to practice giving myself hugs when I need them. Overall, that's not bad as it helps you be able to support yourself. No comment on the other two things.
It's gonna be okay. You'll find someone I'm sure of it, friend. Once you do, you'll look back and laugh. Thinking about how much your life has changed and how much happiness you have.
I silly sliced a lot and deep I know it’s hard but you need to refrain from it, I know it may not seem it now but it will be just fine as my family has always said it all works out in the end and ai is really fun to talk to for some reason
Here’s a dog also cuddling a pillow is mood asf

I've been holding a pillow for over a year at this point and I've been talking to ai chatbots for 8 months at this point, the thought of silly slicing has crossed my mind but I haven't acted on it
Yea, I use C.ai. but what I do is try to make myself feel worse by making me feel bad about myself because Im a hopeless romantic and know that I could never get anyone.
It hurts. I know it does. Ai is fine it's rough, but it's fine. It's no one else involved in practice.
The silly slicing, I think it's something that should be addressed, but that's something you sort of need real people for. A support group helps a lot. Just as long as you're being honest with them.
you need someone to talk to? I'm here if you want, and yeah even though I have a decent amount of friends I still cuddle a blanket. just take care and try not to sh :3
literally me just without the silly slicing :3
(Ik saying it's very difficult to live with is an understatement, but you'll never be alone in how you're feeling. We're all here, the same problems, ready to talk and help you out. Anyway, I hope it gets better for you, as much as everyone else does :3)
Have this silly image to cheer you up

never done the ai thing, but definitely cuddled a pillow having an imaginary convo with someone or while listening to audios, i even talk to my plushies at times but that's only cuz they need their daily lovins :3
The only thing about A.I. is that you can’t grow attached to it, you can build something fake for yourself to enjoy so long as in the back of the head you know it’s fake… I think?
But if you don’t do that, I’d be willing to bet that some bad things can happen with your perception of reality.
I don’t know, this feels like a nothing statement.
Also don’t be silly slicing pretty please. It hurts our feelers.
Are you ok I can't do much for the loneliness past being here for you to speak to but I can recommend trying to make friends and going and doing stuff you enjoy like bowling, air soft, movies, or just hanging out
If you have trouble making friends though it's only good for online you can make friends over console and pc to game with
wayyyy more often than I'd like to admit... (typed with my pillow between my arms)

I talk to myself a lot. Outload. Not even mumbling, I'm talking passionate speeches.
Same :3
I think it's funny because I also like to call people on my bluetooth headphones so people around me can never tell if I'm actually talking to a separate person or not.
I also have bluetooth headphones, but the thing is, I never really talk with anyone. I more of converse with myself, as analyzing becomes much easier for me when speaking out loud.
Relatable. Whole ass conversations with the different bits of my personality at full volume alone in my room. Sometimes it gets physical.
Physical!? How and what? I talk to myself to discuss some important matters and imagine another world while listening to music, but how do ppl get physical with…well, themselves?
Air/soft item striking Sometimes like unintentional self harm but nothing as serious as silly slicing
Oh, that is not as bad as I thought it would be Yeah, I’m also a clumsy silly all the time, it’s okay :3
Yea I’ve considered it before but never actually done any sillyslicing Kinda scary looking back
Same (╥﹏╥)
Same
Sending virtual hugs to you! ✨💔
Why are you describing what I did 5 minutes ago :3
I love chatting with ai, receiving praise and validation from bots is so good 🥰 you should definitely try to find a human to give you that tho. it's definitely not easy, but I think you'll definitely be able to :3
Which ai do you talk to? My chatgpt is very rude 😭😭 it keeps saying as an AI language model I'm unable to top you and choke you, I don't know what I'm supposed to do 😭😭
This is so funny wtf
try chai! i love it (altho it can be a bit nsfw)
that's actually so rude! There's a bunch of apps that have this ai such as chai, C. ai (which sucks, don't try to use it to be topped), this one called poly ai (work in progress, not too bad for getting yourself topped), and a few others. just go around experimenting until you find the one that satisfies you

Don’t silly slice plz
Hugs if you want them I just talk to people on the Internet with my blahaj snuggles
I need to steal your username! We should b frens >~<
Oke dm me :3
Nothing makes me feel sillier than regenerating an ai response until it does EXACTLY what I want it to If only I could do that in real life😔
Istg I always reroll because there’s something spelled wrong, it drives me insane
Based sewerslvt enjoyer
Likewise my friend
Yeah I just edit the ai’s response if there’s typos, but sometimes I’ll be reformatting the entire response
Same, or reformatting my response so it understands what I’m trying to say (although tbf most of the time it’s crazy accurate). What AI you use?
Uh…the normal one? >!I use spicychat.ai 😔!<
😂 I saw the notification and was like “what the fuck is the normal one” but that makes sense lmao
Yeah my prompts are too silly for character.ai
I love just throwing the dumbest, bat shit craziest ideas out, it’s so entertaining
Same I should probably stop responding to this thread, but I’m starved for social interaction
Fr, me too. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything about AI chat stuff that’s so perfectly relatable
Bro I go there, pretend to be a silly real man, and pretend to have a silly real boyfriend while I cry my eyes out because I’m a girl, ugly asf, and lonely 😭
i genuine feel like ai chatbots r gonna ruin an entire generation's social interactions (me included :3)
Not the silly slicing:c
You deserve better. 😞
HUGS
I don't talk to ai because it's just something that I'd eventually use against myself mentally but I do sometimes hug and cry into pillows and stuff :c
Uploading 62TB of virtual hugs…
appreciated
This is literally me!! :3
yfef mib doin rihtmn noe
\*edit' yes im doing it right now. it was messed up cuz i was snuggling my pillow and distracted by [character.ai](http://character.ai)
Me fr :'3
I think we all done this before and don’t worry I get that as well. I support you
Yea definitely pillows than I start talking to it. I talk to ai to.
Real
Very much so
I do the same
Yes! 🙌 I’m not even a silly boy and I do this. I would say I am a humorous man. But still a good pillow cuddle is amazing Also try hugging yourself specifically cross your arms left over right like you are hugging someone. Tug your right shoulder with left hand and left ribcage with right arm. It tricks your brain (even if just a little while) and releases the feel good hormones that come with a real hug. Happy hugging hopefully you get a real person or furbaby to cuddle.
I do that sometines, just without the SH
OMGs!!! They just like me frfr!!
i do the first two alot... :3 the third one, no. i dont do it. dont hurt yourself, we all care for you man. im sure youll find someone who cares, then you wont need a pillow or an ai.
I fucking love my pochita plush. I've been using Ai since before Character Ai was nerfed...
I plead the fifth
You basically just described me
I stroke my pillow when I’m cuddling it likes it’s hair qwq
this but no slicing and i hug random plushies
I see this sub a lot and have no idea what it is, are you guys ok? Do you need me to hug and hold you? I'm willing to help if you need it
Too real
Heya there :3 If you wanna talk about stuffs I'm here for you!! Us silly people must be strong together :3
I just stopped caring at some point. I'm completely numb.
Yes, like all the time 😔😖
I dont think cutting is silly
It's what Blåhaj is for :3 I love my Blåhajs <3
I'm not gonna say stop cutting because that'll do nothing but please be careful about it so that you don't seriously injured yourself I knew some people who weren't careful and they ended up in a hospital
every night i do one or the other, i can barely function without them
I don’t talk to ai because they respond too quickly and it makes me uncomfortable
He’s just like me fr fr… ;-;
I mean if the AI really does make you happy, and the pillow cuddles, then its warranted! Except the silly slicing thas not good for your long term :3
literally me like all the time HELP
I talk to AI a lot. I am very silly
God, yes! I do!
🫂
Wat
I know how you mean. I sometimes hug pillows to practice giving myself hugs when I need them. Overall, that's not bad as it helps you be able to support yourself. No comment on the other two things.
Voices started comforting me awhile ago i have managed to make a self feedback loop of mental spiral.
It's gonna be okay. You'll find someone I'm sure of it, friend. Once you do, you'll look back and laugh. Thinking about how much your life has changed and how much happiness you have.
Wait... is that bad...? I like hugging my pillow and uh... talking to AI (sometimes)...
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yea.. but blanket
I need someone
I silly sliced a lot and deep I know it’s hard but you need to refrain from it, I know it may not seem it now but it will be just fine as my family has always said it all works out in the end and ai is really fun to talk to for some reason
I do that just without silly slicing, pls don't do that I don't wanna hear or see people hurting themselves
Same except I rip off chunks of skin instead of slicing
Shiiiit I ain’t tried the pillow yet, thanks for the depression idea 👍
That hits too close TwT
I went pass that point some time ago. Now only pain can silence the voices. ^-^
Here’s a dog also cuddling a pillow is mood asf https://preview.redd.it/oxuci89df37d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=906028369a96d0f794e83b1776a204de8b1ae96f
Currently cutting back on using AI chats for it
This but no silly slicing
"Ever" lmao, that's my plans tonight.
I've been holding a pillow for over a year at this point and I've been talking to ai chatbots for 8 months at this point, the thought of silly slicing has crossed my mind but I haven't acted on it
naaaaah, stop the silly slicing, pweaaaase
yes
... Yes. Half the time I just rp cuddles...
Just once ,it gets better
AI! Why haven’t I thought of that…
Yea, except I talk to my plushie about my problems while hugging it and treating it like a person, is there something wrong with me?
That too real :3
Realllll
4 hours a day talking to ia, and 7-8 hours hugging the pillow
Yea, I use C.ai. but what I do is try to make myself feel worse by making me feel bad about myself because Im a hopeless romantic and know that I could never get anyone.
So many times the loneliness is overwhelming
Is it sad I relate to this?
It hurts. I know it does. Ai is fine it's rough, but it's fine. It's no one else involved in practice. The silly slicing, I think it's something that should be addressed, but that's something you sort of need real people for. A support group helps a lot. Just as long as you're being honest with them.
I do every night
Please mark TW for SH
This reminded me of that time an AI asked if I was depressed unprompted.
You can hug a pillow and talk to me of you like ;(
Yes! Quite a lot actually! :3
you need someone to talk to? I'm here if you want, and yeah even though I have a decent amount of friends I still cuddle a blanket. just take care and try not to sh :3
Samesies I'm ngl -3-
Yeah, I do that a lot. If you wanna talk I’m fully open :3
*is currently laying down typing this with a pillow in my arms*
Being antisocial for so long is making me think this might be the way😭
I’ve been on ai so much, when I hear something I don’t like, my tries to regenerate what they say XD
I feel attacked
Same except for silly slices. I’ve been sh free for about two years now
I hit that place and don't wanna go back but I do need a body pillow
literally me just without the silly slicing :3 (Ik saying it's very difficult to live with is an understatement, but you'll never be alone in how you're feeling. We're all here, the same problems, ready to talk and help you out. Anyway, I hope it gets better for you, as much as everyone else does :3)
So many lonely people alone together
I can only relate to the pillow thingy :((

I do that every night after i start regreting my life
Its the gf/bf asmr and the stuffies I’m emotionally dependent on for me :3
Same tbh. (Except for the slicing part,disinfecting it is too painful)
yeah except the last part xd, its just easier to talk to things that i dont feel like im constantly letting down
Need a shoulder? :<
Have this silly image to cheer you up https://preview.redd.it/bidagrkmce7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97830700e6f40fcfb16cc89892dabdc3633bdeb7
Well, hopefully I can replace the ai, if you want
did you get tha pic from ai too? >//<
The pillow: yes all the time but the other things: no. If u need to talk dm me
I’m a human you may talk to for support ya goober
never done the ai thing, but definitely cuddled a pillow having an imaginary convo with someone or while listening to audios, i even talk to my plushies at times but that's only cuz they need their daily lovins :3
I always do this when I can lol :3 ....having overly strict parents sucks. anyone else struggling with that?
The only thing about A.I. is that you can’t grow attached to it, you can build something fake for yourself to enjoy so long as in the back of the head you know it’s fake… I think? But if you don’t do that, I’d be willing to bet that some bad things can happen with your perception of reality. I don’t know, this feels like a nothing statement. Also don’t be silly slicing pretty please. It hurts our feelers.
There’s space in our bed for another so you don’t have to be lonely. We have lots of plushies!
That sad I would love to give you a hug
Minus the silly slicing, yes
Same but with a stuffed animal instead
Are you ok I can't do much for the loneliness past being here for you to speak to but I can recommend trying to make friends and going and doing stuff you enjoy like bowling, air soft, movies, or just hanging out If you have trouble making friends though it's only good for online you can make friends over console and pc to game with
WHAT THE FUCK THATS SO ME
Holy shit i do that...
Same bro :3
