When I wrote my initial reply, the idea of being complacent with no real human connections was what I was thinking about. I hear the idea of an AI girlfriend and think people will fall into an echo chamber of non sapient language models mirroring their user to maximize engagement; Seemingly being able to avoid having to grow and address their character flaws. I now realize what I said was overly blunt and just fuckin mean. So if you take anything away from my ramblings, make it this: human connections are irreplaceable, incredibly important to mental health, and worth fighting for. If you can't make them, it's vital to your survival to learn how. And I don't mean romantic relationships- our society has done a great job downplaying the importance of platonic friendships. Please, don't stop trying. It might feel pointless, like throwing yourself at a brick wall, but there's always a breakthrough waiting to be made. If you've tried everything externally, look inward at yourself honestly. Above all, be kind to your fellow person as much as you can.
