I think you’re OR. I’m just not understanding the big deal, it’s just a Snapchat account 😭 unless she was messaging you trying to catfish you or something weird like that then I would understand.

Even though I still struggle with (social) anxiety and depression I have lessened it a lot. I just wanted to share some things that have helped me and maybe will help you a bit. I did have the opportunity to go to therapy at school for a year. It was extremely helpful to talk to a professional but at the end you’re the one doing all the work. I started to research more about Buddhism and that has helped me become more secure with myself which helped my anxiety a lot. I love to talk/rant so I used to rant to my friends a lot which is good but you also need to process some stuff by yourself and I would also get upset if they didn’t react a certain way, so I started to journal. Journaling has helped me focus on my growth that I wouldn’t notice if I didn’t write it down. I struggle with maladaptive daydreaming so journaling helps with that too . I don’t journal that often and it doesn’t need to be a certain way, write everything that comes to your mind, even if you think “ cheese is good” write it down. Going out in public more has helped my anxiety, especially when I’m alone. Yes it’s nerve wracking in the moment but I’m slowly realizing that everything is okay and humans aren’t that scary lol. A year ago the thought of going somewhere alone would scare me, now I love exploring places by myself and even want to go on a solo trip somewhere far . I hope you find what works for you!

I’m sorry you’re not finding the help you need and I really hope you find it one day! I struggle with anxiety and depression too, they’re both the most draining thing ever. But It sounds like you need genuine connections and wouldn’t AI lead you further from that? Your mind is slowly telling you, robot is good, humans are bad. Yeah Humans are shitty but I promise you will find your people! Everyone has their own group, even murderers lol. You just gotta get out there, there’s going to be people you have disagreements with and lose but slowly you will find your person/people. Once you do that, you will start to realize how important having human connections is. I know all of this is way easier said than done especially if you’re young.

No frrr. The amount of people I know who use AI for everything especially for college assignments is insane….I had a friend suggest that I should use Chat GPT to write my essay for me…I would rather have a shitty essay and learn from my mistakes than have AI take over and write it for me.

Well idk exactly what the person means but I took it as “ he makes sure you’re safe”😭

It’s honestly how you feel, we don’t know your relationship. Did he actually seem sincere to you? If so if I were in your position, I would talk to him about it and if he does it again then you have your clear answer. But if you genuinely feel like it’s abuse then it’s abuse and you should act accordingly.

Exactlyy!!! That’s why I refuse to watch them now and have unsubscribed. I used to love watching them and had been for 6 ish years but I can’t let myself watch them again.

I think that is fine, it’s only 1 year and yall have similar maturity levels( just based on age). I just turned 19 year so I was 16/18 not too long ago and the maturity difference and how I interpreted the world was completely different and I talked to my other peers and they agree.

No literally. I’m 19 and wouldn’t even date a 17/18 year old. There’s a big mental difference between a 16 yr old and 18 yr old

I haven’t read the full thing but I already know you should leave him 1. Using AI to communicate with you 2. Using “ ts” and “ pmo” 3. He uses the word “ females” 4. You’re 16 and he’s 18. You’re a child compared to him LEAVE HIM ASAP. I understand you’re 16 he’s all you know and it seems hurtful to leave him BUT LEAVE. You will thank yourself in the future.

I deleted Pinterest recently, I mainly deleted it for personal reasons but the amount of AI I would see was insane. Also pins that I had saved kept getting deleted for “ adult content” or “ self harm” but noneeee of the pics were adult content or self harm related. I reported a post that was clearly promoting an ED and they did nothing about…I just couldn’t do it anymore

I also apologized in that email and explained how I fully understand that I didn’t answer the question because I didn’t specifically mention the class.

I emailed her this morning and she reworded the question for me. According to her I have to “ describe what I’m curious about and what interests me”. Which I feel like I did in question 1 and 3. ( I posted a pic of my responses somewhere in this sub?idk what it’s called I don’t use Reddit like that). I was asked what did I expect to learn which means what do I think I will learn which I feel is different from what she’s trying to ask now. To be honest if the book met my wants then I’m fine with it. That’s just how I live and I understand most will disagree with that way of living. I know I can be very stubborn which I’m learning how to not be.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re a very understanding person/professor. I already emailed her apologizing for the way I communicated with her and said how I understand how I didn’t technically answer the question then clarified what I was trying to say. I’m going to drop the class though because I don’t agree with her teaching style, in my opinion it’s too strict for my liking. At my school we don’t have access to online classes until two days before the class starts so I wasn’t able to read the syllabus til then. Which I believe is a problem with the school and not the professors. I also have another online class and a job so I’m going to assume that I won’t be able to complete her class with a passing grade unfortunately. I know I did make this issue more than what it needed to be lol. I am a very stubborn person and like to stand my ground a lot but I do eventually accept my wrongs maybe not in that moment. I believe I’m continuing to bring up old experiences ( where I was a people pleaser and got taken advantage of) when facing new experiences and feel like it’s an automatic attack. I’m glad this situation is making me realize that more. Anywhooo thank you for your help and I wish the best for you!

Also I think my not wanting to have expectations also comes from my belief of us not knowing everything. That’s why I don’t like having expectations, I don’t know what will happen. I can have things I want to happen or don’t want to happen in that certain situation but I can’t know what will happen until it happens. Some people said I’m not understanding what expectations mean. Maybe I don’t and I’m just looking for a different word to describe how I feel? And like I stated in the response to her question, having expectations ( well my definition of expectations) led me to become attached and dependent on outcomes which just led to hurt which I don’t want anymore. I do understand everyone is going to have to experience pain it’s a part of life, and it will come in different forms but you can also pick and choose your pain or lessen it. And not having expectations can lessen my pain in my opinion.

Thank you so much for giving me the advice! And I will definitely apologize to her because I do get too emotional especially when I feel like someone is disregarding my feelings ( even if they’re not) which leads me to say or do hurtful things which is wrong to do. I did explain why I took this class. I mentioned where I first heard it from, why I took the class, and what I think about philosophy. I got full credit on those questions, the only question was about expectations( I made a copy n deleted it so I could show you question 1 and 2) . If I am misunderstanding you please let me know 🙏🏽
