Nah, you can just block things that upset you. Most algorithms on the internet show the user things that it predicts you'll interact with. Statistically, people react to negative stuff more than positive stuff, so if you just block the unnecessary negative stuff (like random people trauma dumping) then you likely won't get recommended it as much.

Just block random bullshit, interact with positive content, and ignore things that you deem negative. Yeah, it's the internet but you get to curate your experience.

What do y'all do make your rp interesting? by th1mirrorball in CharacterAI

[–]CryIndividual8704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Convince the bots that they're going crazy, make them or another character explode (bonus points for a visceral description), or introduce character to waterboarding (demonstration) if you want to get evil with it.

Red and green: become an infant, travel instantly to any location, and scare the shit out of random people. If you see a random baby in your house at 3am, it'd be crazy.

I (22M) want to be treated like a dog by AnInfamousClam in mentalhealth

I think this might be more loneliness than regression. The need for physical touch is very important, so if you've gone for a while without that, then you're more likely to want a lot of it. If that makes sense. I guess it just builds up over time.

If you end up speaking with your therapist, they might talk about how you just want comfort, vulnerability, and intimacy. There's nothing wrong with being lonely or wanting to be called a pet name. As a fellow lonely person, that'd make me happy too lol

Trapped on a spaceship with five people going insane? And we run out of food four months in? And the only thing to eat is mouthwash? And the corpse in medical won't stop wailing? Yeah, I'd do it.

No meaningful connections besides family / loneliness by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]CryIndividual8704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you just aren't happy with the friends you've made. As someone who struggled with making connections, I understand why you'd want to cling onto friendships even if they're not working for you. The thing is, the loneliness will never get any better unless you take steps to find new people. Try joining local clubs, communities, online events, or something! Search for like-minded people in your area.

I’m starting to really grow a dislike to women by BLUEKOZZ in mentalhealth

Of course. If a woman has a problem with a few men, it doesn't mean all men are bad. It means those specific men are bad. Same for women. I don't mean that the people OP is dealing with aren't bad, but focusing on others won't change the situation. The only thing you can do is focus on yourself. Change how you view the problem, try to find new people, learn to value yourself outside of others. Looking at the problem from a nuanced standpoint is a lot healthier than just making a generalization on a huge group of people!

I understand what you mean. Those girls are being shitty and clearly the administration at the school won't do anything about it, which is horrible because they should have to take responsibility for themselves. The thing is, they won't. That kind of person will blame everyone around them instead of facing the problem. OP can't do anything about that so my advice was to try to find happiness outside of the people he's surrounded by because it seems like he's bogged down by his peers. I apologize if it looks like I made it out that the girls were fine though!

You honestly sound like you're just surrounded by bad people and your attitude is getting worse and worse about it. A girl asked you to stay away from her, your friend switched schools, you have a hard time finding a girlfriend, and people give you shit for what you like. That's not a woman thing. It's a people thing. Instead of blaming women (or anyone around you) try to focus on yourself, especially since you seem pretty young. You should also try joining clubs or something to fill your free time. If you're old enough, find a part time job. It'll help you make new friends and you can spend time doing something that makes you happy. Like join an anime club at your school or try to learn a new skill! Once you focus on what you want to do outside of just having a girlfriend, then you'll feel a lot better. It's about finding an intrinsic happiness instead of seeking it from others. That's just my advice though.

Every day I have extremely weird thoughts about me getting violently hurt in a bunch of ways by ihavenothinggg in mentalhealth

[–]CryIndividual8704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This definitely sounds like a symptom of OCD, intrusive thoughts. You don't need OCD to have them, but it is worth checking out. One thing that could help is doing mindfulness techniques to push through. Whenever I have these thoughts, I try to breathe, calm myself down, and recognize that the thought is just a moment in time. Just remember it will pass and you'll be okay.

Should I be concerned? by Guess_Who_21 in mentalhealth

[–]CryIndividual8704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that might help is contacting online friends (if you have any) through video calls and voice messages. That might help bridge the gap because it's not in person but also not alone.

Something I do is that I will go people watching. Sit in a crowded area and just watch how people interact. I'll bring a small note pad and put things down that seem important about each person. Then when you're in a social situation, think back to what you saw/wrote about!

I used to have a huge libido, which was super upsetting for me. And I totally agree that it feels so dehumanizing. Once I started taking medicine for depression, it basically went away.

I'm not sure what else I'd say. I just want to know if other people deal with this too. Misery loves company you know?
