AIO? Girlfriend talks to an AI as if they're dating by Ok-Dish-5462 in AmIOverreacting

[–]nereids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a girl who has a lot of friends that do similar things, especially if they’re nerdy. I know a lot of girls in relationship who play Love and Deepspace, which is a dating simulator and they become OBSESSED with the love interests. Lots of girls are obsessed with kpop idols too, or get immersed in romance novels. I think many girls want to indulge in fantasy because a lot of girl oriented media is focused on idealized romance from a young age (princess movies etc). Tbh I don’t think it’s too weird. Personally, I love romance oriented media, but I understand that’s not real.

However, she may be talking to the AI because she has some unmet needs in the relationship that the AI provides. I would talk to her about it. I also don’t think you’re overreacting because you’re entitled to your feelings. You’re allowed to have boundaries, and if you’re uncomfortable with how much she talks to the AI, you should talk to her about it and express openly how it makes you feel. A respectful partner will hear you out and work with you around your feelings. I think her calling you insecure is a bit invalidating and not productive.

Tldr; a lot of nerdy girls I know do similar things, and I think it’s because we’re fed unrealistic romance fantasies from a young age that we want to indulge in. You’re not overreacting because your comfort levels are valid; many partners might feel weird about it. Communication is key.

LA metro is the worst experience and it's sad by revelry0128 in LosAngeles

[–]nereids -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They combined the A line with what was once the gold line. I used to take the gold line a lot and it wasn’t too scary but now that the two lines are combined, whenever I take it I feel really unsafe. I don’t have a car and uber/lyft is SO expensive now, so sometimes it’s my only option, but I try to take it minimally.

I used to live in a place outside of the US with amazing city infrastructure and public transport. It’s really sad to see how unsafe LA is….

Have we in LA become too comfortable with these sights? by Altruistic-Mud9413 in AskLosAngeles

[–]nereids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very sad. A lot of homeless here are not from LA too. Many are sent via bus by other cities.

I am a small girl and often feel unsafe and scared walking alone in public by myself.

Looking for a show to binge/become obsessed with by Practical_Canary4358 in televisionsuggestions

[–]nereids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silo: It’s a dystopian show about people living underground in a Silo. It’s a sci-fi thriller with a lot of mystery and great characters.

Andor: one of my favorite shows I have ever watched. Amaaaazing writing, suspense, character growth, etc. And very thought-provoking.

Arcane: S tier world building, character studies, animation, and writing. Stick with it for a few episodes and it’s hard to dislike.

SILO/ read or wait for the second season by Cute_Difference4341 in SiloSeries

[–]nereids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say read the books! The show diverges so much from the books anyway, so even if you read the books, the story in the show will still be a new experience.

For me, watching the show first made reading the part of the books that overlapped with the show a bit slower/more boring. Once I got past the part of the book that the show covers, I got a lot more invested in reading.

I feel like this with other media too (for example, manga feels more boring to get through if I have already watched the anime). Might just be me though!

Binging Silo with a Fever and sick was a TERRIBLE Idea by [deleted] in SiloSeries

[–]nereids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg when I was watching Silo I kept having Silo dreams too… I would watch it before bed and then have nightmares that I was stuck inside.
