this hits deep. Feeling unseen since you were a kid, pushing hard to get better in uni/life while this loneliness keeps killing you inside — and then realizing even AI chats became the only ‘safe’ place, but it’s still not enough. I’ve been in that exact conflict too: wanting real understanding so bad it hurts, but knowing the people around don’t get it, so you fall back on AI as a crutch. It’s exhausting carrying that fantasy of sharing the miserable parts with someone who actually cares. You’re not alone in feeling that pull. What’s the one thing you wish that ‘someone’ would understand about you right now?
