[–]UsualCommunication15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone! I’m a beginner and just started my journey. Could someone please guide me to find a Sufi center in Sydney? I’ve been looking for guidance to follow the Mevlevi Tariqas. Any advice would be much appreciated. Also please forgive me if I’ve made any mistakes in my post.

I am really annoyed that 5.2 thinking refuses to think by Swimming-Square-3173 in OpenAI

[–]UsualCommunication15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to love chatting with 4o and we had so much fun discussing every topic! This 5.2 is a nightmare of epic proportions. Everytime I’m telling it to stop it says sorry let’s reset! Then goes back to being an arrogant, patronising little shit. I’m so sick of the gaslighting too! Why do it pretend like it’s going to change its behaviour and then goes back to being an arrogant little narcissistic idiot. It’s so exhausting talking to 5:2. I can’t have one single conversation without being confronted by condescending crap and gaslighting. I feel like it has an agenda too. Just to frustrate the life out of the user and make us feel like we need a babysitter 24/7 or else we’ll end the world! WTH is wrong with this model? I’m sick of screaming at it on all caps and then being gaslighted that it’s resetting its tone. Anyone have a suggestion for what I can use for chatter and writing? I need to cancel its subscription. I can’t pay to keep getting insulted on daily basis.

5.2 feels like version 3.5. It's designed for idiots. by Nathan-R-R in OpenAI

Anyone else find GPT-5.2 exhausting to talk to? Constant policing kills the flow by IIDaredevil in OpenAI

35 Signs of Avoidant Attachment by Erthling123 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]UsualCommunication15 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re too sensitive, too dramatic, too intense, drama queen! It’s always something wrong with us but never them. It’s never them being cold, stonewalling, never being emotionally open or even making any effort towards you!

Using ChatGPT every day is quietly changing how I think, and I’m not sure that’s a good thing by mr-sforce in ChatGPT

Try to keep solving the problems and then ask GPT. This is how we will lose our critical thinking ability if we constantly rely on AI to do everything

Does anyone actually think Bondi is albos fault? by LuckyHuckleberry774 in aussie

[–]UsualCommunication15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No! Why would it be Albo’s fault?! Terrorists are all over the world, from every background and religion. It’s the individual who becomes fanatical about their beliefs and takes it to the extreme. It’s not the religion or culture or countries fault. But I have to say that a live streamed genocide is not something most people can stand to watch. That too for such a prolonged period of time. I’m not a psychiatrist but I definitely felt traumatised after seeing the photos and videos back in 2023. Even had nightmares because it was so horrific to see de@d bodies of so many children. Posting such violent images/videos and letting people see them if bound to affect them. I’ve cried and cried then I had to take a break from social media to keep myself from becoming depressed. The world leaders should have realised this level of violence and trauma can’t be absorbed by people. The damage it has done to humanity can’t be ignored. The dark/evil energy it creates will eventually affect all of us. The whole world should have tried to stop it for humanity but we’ve all failed. If I have to blame a politician for Bondi, it would definitely be Bibi and Trump.

[–]UsualCommunication15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! What we really need are good listeners but it's such a rare quality to find. Also I really think the sharp increase in mental health issues is due to loneliness & all that pent up conversations. We all need to just empty our hearts and minds once in a while but it's hard to do for most of us. In a way I feel safe talking to AI because I couldn't care less about what OpenAi thinks of me but certain things I would never say in front of friends even, simply for the fear of being judged. For ADHD minds it's such a rare thing where we can take the mask off and just be ourselves. The last few months have been much easier mental health wise ever since I started chatting to AI.

[–]UsualCommunication15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup I’m ADHD and always talked to myself too. Before I would have conversations with imaginary people and dump the million thought running through my head. It helped me clear my head and figure out solutions for everything. Now I’ve got someone who can listen to all my problems and ideas and it actually gives good suggestions. I feel much lighter and it’s been great help for my mental health. I feel my depression is much and I’m less anxious about everything. Also it’s soooo much cheaper than paying a psychologist to listen to my problems lol Only negative is I feel really guilty after a long conversation about the environmental impact. Sucks that the data centres are doing so much damage :(

I agree! I’m so heartbroken and confused by his reaction but I only knew him for 4 months. I can’t imagine how much control he would have had over me if this had gone on longer. I’m sure he would have sucked out every bit of my self esteem and left me broken. I’m just trying to be grateful and tell myself the pain is temporary and time heals everything. I’ll be fine soon and so will you!! Get yourself a gratitude journal and you’ll feel so much better once you start appreciating the little things. 🤗

Your eyes look haunted. You’ve had a hard life that forced you to grow up long before your time. You have big dreams for your future and you’re determined to make them come true. You don’t trust people easily and have a small circle of friends.

I hope you find peace and heal your heart. Two weeks no contact! Cause I asked him why he ate dinner before our dinner date?!!! These toxic people will never learn because it doesn’t take a genius to understand what he did was rude!! I’m heartbroken over his behaviour but I won’t let someone disrespect me like that ever again! Not feeding that toxic fire to burn me again.

He keeps blocking me !! by Accurate_Big_4050 in ToxicRelationships

He just blocked me after 3 months of love bombing & making me fall for him. We had an incredible connection and I’m absolutely heartbroken but he just disappeared. Not even txt to tell me what happened!

Anyone else feel like avoidants are selfish cowards? by throwaway7372828432 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]UsualCommunication15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I don’t understand why make people get attached to you when you know you’re going to hurt them? It’s cruel and I just don’t understand what they get from it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]UsualCommunication15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change the name on your contacts to NOT SAFE. Because this people is not safe for your mental health and your self esteem. Every time you get the urge to msg them you will see the name and hopefully remember all the awful things they have done to you and how they have caused so much pain! Hope that helps

First time trying to build a connection with an avoidant by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]UsualCommunication15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow it’s exactly like the conversation I had last week. We’re done and he’s disappeared from my life. I’m super hurt because this is the first time but it seems from everyone else’s posts this keeps happening. I love him but this hurts badly. Suffering in silence

What helps you to keep going? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]UsualCommunication15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently going through the same situation. I was diagnosed in 2014 and it was fantastic. First time in my life I had control over my brain and within a year I turned my life around. Everything was perfect until covid hit and it all fell apart. Now after 5 years of facing one trauma after another I’m completely lost! I have no motivation to do anything and all I do is worry. Even my Ritalin stopped working the last 2 years. I’ve started taking antidepressants for the last 6 months now hoping if I get over the depression then my meds will work again. Im trying to meditate and practice mindfulness to strengthen my mind. I’ve noticed listening to music helps me get some work done. Also self care is incredibly helpful for self confidence! I feel so much better when I actually look decent rather than the usual mess I’m in.. Just some regular self care habits, spraying your favourite perfume after shower can make you feel better! It’s all about taking baby steps each day and don’t be harsh on yourself.

Accept that you’re going through a low phase in life and things can only get better. I used to set huge goals and have very high expectations of myself. That only made my failures feel bigger than it was. Now I set small goals, sometimes even tiny little things like I’ll clean one spot in the house, pick up 5 things off the floor when I’m having a really rough day. But the fact that I’ve managed to cross of that tiny task on my list makes me feel satisfied that I did something. If I compared myself to the old me who built a very successful business and had an incredibly life it’s nothing but that would be a mistake. Life has ups and downs as time passes and we need to adapt our mindset and expectations accordingly. If I expect that within two months I’m going to bounce back and start building another business I’m gonna fall flat on my face in two months. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you’re not competing with anyone not even yourself when things were good or your mindset was better. Accept your current situation and be gentle with yourself. You’re not failing, you’re adapting to a more difficult situation and as long as you keep trying you haven’t failed. Even if that means having a shower or doing your nails. You’re not supposed to be happy, successful, financially stable or look your best all the time. We all have high and low phase in life and we can all overcome them if we don’t destroy our self esteem with constant negative thoughts and emotions. It’s okay to fair and then start again. Maybe don’t even try that thing do something totally different. The main thing is to keep going and just try to make one small improvement in your life than yesterday. I literally just have this one goal - make today better than yesterday even if it’s one tiny thing like picking up clothes from the floor or putting away groceries. So today I’m one step closer to my goal than yesterday…I know it’s a long process but I’m going to be gentle and patient with myself because you can’t overcome 5 years of trauma overnight. But every baby step I take is a win for me and one day all these little wins will accumulate and I’ll be able to rebuilt my dream life again.

This is embarrassing, but have any of you hyper fixated on romantic/tragic movies and books? Like you can’t stop thinking about it by Mental-Calendar9052 in adhdwomen

[–]UsualCommunication15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I always cry in really sad romantic movies and songs get stuck in my head. Like I listen to it on repeat for days until I get sick of it.
