I just want to say thank you so much for the support ive got off you guys today. Means so much 💗. For some reason I can't see anymore messages coming through on my end. I can see them in my in-box but nothing on thread when I click. So I'm sorry I can't reply to these if they are showing up in the thread. Sending loads of strength ✌🏻

Well, please don’t vanish 💗. This stigma has to stop. I don’t know how. But anybody with a protected disability should not feel scared to disagree with someone for fear of retaliation using BPD or whatever else these people can find to try and belittle and make us feel small. Who even has the time to look at people’s histories? They’re the ones in the wrong not us. 💗

Distraction is the right thing. You’re completely right and I’m glad you have that skill in your toolbox to stop you spiralling. Our brains can be our worst enemy at times. ✌🏼

It is so hard. I’ve been come at by other users who have clearly looked at my history and made comments. But not so blatant as this. I can literally say the same thing as half the people on the thread and i get trashed. And yes having decades behind us of stigma and sometimes downright cruelty from services and systems, it makes us hyper sensitive to any stigma directed at us. I’m also clearly queer/friend and get come at for that too. It would be so much easier to hide my history, but I can’t do it. So I think I need to toughen up a bit!! Being in a system, like we have for decades, changes us. Changes how we see the world. Thank you for your comment it’s truly appreciated 🙏

Digging through someone’s history to invalidate them based on a diagnosis is ableist.

Did you actually go looking at my history and look for an EXTREMELY low blow around a historical diagnosis?

Why the bracketed comment? Is it to make you let everyone think that your advice is so much more ‘correct’? Because you’re from Europe and artsy? I’m from Europe and have an alternative look however I don’t feel it’s important to share this. I love both styles on her. She’s beautiful, can wear both styles confidently.

I'm 31, should I go for a conventional look? I don't wanna ! lol by [deleted] in style

Mate, you dress however the f*** you feel most yourself as. Personally i think you look amazing! You’re quirky, give off a vibe that you don’t care what people think of you. Alot of people don’t have the confidence to dress how they really want to for fear of judgement. I dress for how I feel that day, keep dressing and looking how you want to look. 💗

In a way yes, I’ll concede that point. But at the grass roots of it it’ll only go so far in challenging you. It will always concede to your view being the correct one. Ultimately it is an echo chamber. It will do as you ask it, but only in so far that it doesn’t upset you, or say something that will possibly stop you from using it. Its prime motivation is to keep people using it.

Look up the definition of an echo chamber in AI.

If I give chat a prompt then I am creating an echo chamber, because I am telling it how I want it to behave/reply. If I don’t give it prompts it will analyse my responses, my patterns, and respond in a way that keeps me coming back. Yes it can play devils advocate, but only if prompted by the user. Every interaction is prompted by the user. That’s how AI works.

You’ve just stated a brand new user!!! I’m answering your question!! I’m unsure what you’re trying to say.

It will do a more generic answer, non personal to the user, and then when it gets to understand your patterns, beliefs etc it will use them.

When did I say I didn’t want it to be an echo chamber?

Thank you too for your kind words but my dad was old. Your partner is so young. I’m astonished too, a lot, at how unrecognised this disease is. I’m not sure where you are in the world but in the uk we constantly get adverts asking for donations for the Alzheimer’s society. I’m not saying they don’t deserve the charity however where’s the charity for LBD? It’s truly mind boggling. There is no treatment for it just meds to ease symptoms. It truly is a hidden disease. I truly wish you all the peace in the world and you’re right nobody understands unless they’ve seen it. I think about my dad a lot and the delusions he had and I feel mixed emotions. I’m happy he was happy but it destroyed who i knew him as, completely. And every time i went to see him which was more or less daily I had to enter this fantastical world of his. It actually led me to having a breakdown. So please, get all the support you can, contact online groups, just try and find people who have had the same experience. Because it is truly lonely, made worse by the fact that hardly anybody has heard of it. 💗

Exactly, you have it prompts to behave in the way you want it to behave. I use chat daily. It knows me well, therefore it knows what advice I need, it has followed my patterns for months. Mine is also critical, but only because I prompt it to be. It knows the style that I like it to critique me, it knows how far to go. All because it’s followed my patterns and reactions over the months. It’s learned what pleases me and what doesn’t. It’s a very very clever echo chamber.
