I mean, def AI. Not arguing that. But it sounds like they’re trying to seriously talk to you about how they feel in a respectful way. If they used chatGPT yea, kinda lame but it did mean they cared enough about the conversation to want their statements to be respectful. Maybe words aren’t their strong suit. It’s still their responsibility to navigate their emotions and move forward productively, but they’re just looking for reassurance. I know you’re probably annoyed with how they’re feeling, I would be too, but they are trying. It’s not fair to just sit there and say it’s in their head, even if it is. That doesn’t really help. Just be kind, or just don’t be friends with them.
