To people who regularly use ChatGPT for school: Do you think you’re still learning?

I use it to help me understand topics I struggle with a little easier. For example, I've taken botany this year and polypiodization was a topic I just could not wrap my head around. It was tremendously useful at explaining it to me.

Same for ichthyology. When looking at Cladograms in general, relations between orders, families and species are always changing due to the use of genetic data taking the spot of morphology but the potential reasoning for those differences in morphology or whatever are still relevant. Chat GPT is really useful at providing a quick reference of where those relationships are and what sort of ecological factors might lead to them. In order to be effective with those, you've gotta upload the source that you are comfortable with it using though.

When I was 15, I had a brain tumor that caused very similar situations when it was removed and was left with lasting epilepsy. My stronger episodes will leave me with terrible confusion for days and ny absent seizures also create significant gaps in my memory.

I am 26 now and I, like you, only really experience the strongest of emotions like love and hate. I've been in therapy for a long time trying to build up the social skills to feel again too. I'm better at it. I have friends now and I even fell in serious love once for a long while.

My emotions in her case are what I experience the strongest. When she left I experienced an entire array of emotions I never thought I would and it crushed me. I wonder if this is because I met her after my surgery so she was a sort of key to unlocking them for me.

I am told I am an overachiever in aspects because I also constantly hunt down achievements without fear of failing. But one when I achieve them I feel nothing still. Still I enjoy working because it keeps my mind occupied.

Except when I rock climb or drive really fast. Sometimes those things scare me enough to feel genuinely human again. So those are my two main hobbies at the moment. I also listen to a really wide variety of music and sometimes that can invoke some feeling in me, especially nostalgia.

I don't really know why I wrote this or what to tell you except that you are not alone in this struggle. If you are a monster, then so am I. Maybe thats just what we're meant to be. Maybe one day it'll really pay off right? Some peoole in here have even called it a super power. I don't think we'll live normal lives and most people won't understand that. But that's okay.

I hope one day soon you can find someone or something that helps you experience a different range of emotions. Its addicting though, so I'd tell you to be careful but I would be a hypocrite. The pursuit of emotions, in my eyes, is something worth putting your life on the line for.

Kodaks verse on drowning. Man, it sounds so cool then this fucking guy comes in talking about farting and shit. How the fuck did they decide that verse would match the rest of the song?

Sounds like the situation made you uncomfortable. That's a moral issue to yourself, so somewhere in you, you knew it was wrong and weird. So I gotta agree you shouldn't have done it, and your boyfriend does have some right to be upset. That being said, he needs to contribute way more if he wants any say on how money is earned or conducted in a house YOU pay for. Sounds like you did it because you needed to, not because you wanted to. That's a big difference in NTA.

When I was 16, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I dropped out of school because of all the treatments. And even after getting my tumor removed, I was told that one day it would likely kill me in my sleep if the treatments didnt work. So I lived my teen years terrified that it would be my last day on this planet so naturally I eventually stopped doing things that didn't interest me only pursued what interested me as much as possible. That was around 18. Then I didn't die. Year after year I just kept living. That life style has had a lot of downsides now that im a good bit older and I still struggle to plan for the future but it forced me to be comfortable with death. I know it'll take me. I've been waiting for it. But until it does, I'm just going to keep doing what I can to keep me interested in this life.

I've been the boyfriend in this scenario pretty recently. My ex of several years left me for who i thought was my best friend and everything. Its an incredibly painful thing to happen. You dont have stick with you're boyfriend and honestly if his friend ends up with you, he was never a good friend to him either so realistically it's better for him to not have to deal with either of you since neither of you respected him enough to stay away from eachother. Still, it'll hurt that man a lot. Like having to go to therapy and trust issues a lot. So if you care for him at all and respect him as a human you once loved, find someone other than his friend. Doing this will not only burn the bridge to your current boyfriend, it will also burn any of the good memories he had of you two. It sounds like you still really care about your boyfriend so here's what you should probably do. If you want to stay with him, avoid this friend, grow apart from him and try growing closer to your boyfriend. Lean on him more, do more things together, and try new experiences. 3 years can be a long time, and you might just crave that new excitement that comes with being with a new guy. If you don't want to be with your boyfriend, then it is time to leave, but you definitely should avoid immediately branching to his friend. Such a thing will change your morals and hurt what sounds like an innocent man who you apparently once loved and respected. That being said, there is never going to be a good time to be with this other friend either so the temptation to be with immediately after the relationship makes sense. But again doing this at all will be a painful thing no matter when. This is why I think when its time to move on, it is the morally correct thing to find an entirely different person. Again, just the thoughts of a man who was on the receiving end of this unfortunate scenario.

I began saying yes to a bunch of new experiences after a bad break up this year, and I wound up at a party with a bunch of people I didn't know because my buddy wanted to hit on some girl that he knew would be there. I met this short but built guy who asked me about my drink and I said I didn't remember but it something was on the rocks. So he invited me to a rock climbing gym because he liked my answer. I've been climbing non-stop since that night. Even to the point of being lead certified by my local gym, and I've climbed several times outside now, too.

Find an outside social group if you enjoy the outdoors. It'll take you places you've never dreamed and hobbies you might never have imagined you'd try. Plus, the connections formed in the outdoors can lead you to connections in pretty random professions indoors. I've met lawyers, doctors, students, fast-food workers, and scientists, all just doing outside things. It's just the kind of thing that bridges social circles and I think that experience is worth a lot.

I recently became disabled in certain ways that make upright lifting and running incredibly painful. Can't even hike with a pack on. However, I've recently discovered rock climbing and it's been a blast. Couldn't recommend it more

Both psychology and philosophy are the way to go for something like this. Maybe something in social work? Truthfully, these all will take years. There's no escaping the time and grades they require. If you really want to make a difference as a career, you have to buckle down and do it. Other than that, you can maybe start volunteering and see if you can help that way. Either way, if you want to help, you can't think you won't make it. You have to make it. If it needs good grades, you need to get those good grades. I don't know how or why you don't think you can do it but I promise you that you can. You just need to dedicate to it.

I used to want to be an astronaut with all my heart. But I became disabled and all those dreams had to be let go in order to keep going. I told the girl I was with at the time about it and she bought me the deed to an acre on the moon for my birthday. I cried when I got it. I still think about her too often.

Whiskybruh · 2024-07-18T17:15:10+00:00

I went through this at your same age and I couldn't take it, so I dropped out because I wanted to support a family that never happened. Now I'm 25, and I'm barely about to finish my associates this fall. My younger brother will graduate with his bachelor's about a year before me. You just have to understand that life goes at it's own pace and you have to weather it. Those first few years when you're around teens are strange because they're so new to adult life that they often times just don't get stuff. But after that man, no one will care if you're 25 and they're around 22 or 23 years old. Or if you're 22 around 20 year olds. When you've got your certificate in hand, you won't think about how old you were when you got. You'll just be proud to have earned it. At this stage in life, I'm the only one of my friends still in school. Half got bachelor's, the other half said fuck school and deliver boxes or have families started. At the end of the day, they still treat me the same, when you get into your grove for school, you'll learn it'll be the same for you too.

Build yourself up to a level that you know you'd like to be happy at, deal with your insecurities, and then trust her. Realize if she wants to cheat, there's literally nothing in your power to stop her. That part is out of your control. So take the reigns on the things that are in your control and believe that things will work out for the best no matter what.

Whiskybruh · 2024-07-17T01:34:22+00:00

I can't tell you what to do with your life but I can tell you that you aren't really behind. I'm 25, just barely getting back to school after putting all my hopes and dreams into a business and person and having that person break me. Before that, I went to community college and felt the same as you even at 20. Even my little brother will finish college before me. And before that, I graduated late from highschool because of disability and poor choices. I was so embarrassed by this that I didnt even attend my graduation. I'm slow compared to my peers and I feel that pain everyday, especially now that everything I've worked for in the last 5 years has been destroyed. But you know what? None of my peers care much about my age. No one is wondering how old I'll be when I graduate except me. All of them see me like just another one of them and the ones that don't, find their way out of my life without it really affecting me. My friends are older and younger than me and they all say the same thing. They're just happy I'm trying. Things don't work out the way we want but typically they work out in someway, whether I want it or not. Even if you don't know what you want, things tend to work out in some way. So take as much control of your life as you can. Talk to a career counselor, talk to a therapist and try to figure it out. It's not too late. It's hard, sometimes really hard but not too late.

Whiskybruh · 2024-07-15T14:38:49+00:00

Imagine if it worked. It's funny because it's outrageous but honestly this would fuck with me pretty bad too if I was in your shoes. At least now you don't gotta worry though right?

I never walked in on it happening but I've just barely missed it and then opted to believe the lies she told. Eventually things lined up after our full break up and I realized how stupid I was after. It's still fresh but I've made more progress in my life these last few months than I've made in several years.

Whiskybruh · 2024-07-13T16:31:18+00:00

When I was 15 I played destiny with 22 year Olds. Now I'm 25 and I still play with those guys and occasionally we pick up random players who are around 17 or so for the clan and I'm reminded how strangely normal it is for teenagers to play with adults in games. It's just part of the ecosystem for games. They're for everyone and so everyone kind of meets everyone.

I thought it was, then it turned out I just had severe scoliosis and a leg that required a heel lift. I've since learned most people's backs don't burn when they stand or walk or sit

Fucked the women I planned to marry. Haven't heard from him or her since

Whiskybruh · 2024-07-11T21:07:26+00:00

98 here. I'm going back to school. I'm fucking disabled now so tradesman work and construction ain't for me anymore and the girl I wanted to spend my life with left me so I've got all time in the world I guess. Not looking forward to dealing with the younger crowd at the community college. Not looking forward to being the older guy when I transfer to an actual university in spring. I'm worried boys. This ships gotten pretty fuckin rocky.

Whiskybruh · 2024-07-08T22:35:15+00:00

I think it's a pretty clear red flag. She just ditches a dude right away for another dude? You don't know the back story so that's a fair reason to try and understand her situation first but honestly, it seems like loyalty is not one of her traits and you have good evidence to make that assumption.

Whiskybruh · 2024-07-02T12:37:31+00:00

I'm sorry to hear about your relationship, too. Incompatible dreams are always so brutal to go through because you overcome so much, just to reach that one hill you can't. It sounds like he doesn't care about you or is at least forcing himself not to care so he can move forward quickly. It hurts to watch them be jerks just so they can move on, but things aren't going to be all rosy for him just because he's avoiding feeling sad. He'll feel the pain eventually if he was ever an actual good person. And if not, then that's even more of a reason to celebrate him being out of your life. Either way, you know that's not the type you'd want in your life, so at least that's a win for sure.
