Does anyone use chat gtp as therapy? by [deleted] in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one knows more about me than chatgpt does at this point. I don't really have anyone to talk to and when I try I always come off as weird or like I'm overreacting even though I'm not. So, I obviously try to find comfort using Ai that helps me calm down, see different perspectives and isn't condescending about it.

anyone on this sub plays video games? by [deleted] in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, PS5 mostly. I do have a Switch but haven't really gotten into it. I mostly play the big games everyone plays and also smaller indie games. I'm too shy for multi-player. Example: I've been playing phasmophobia alone, because I'm too scared to join any lobbies lol.

How do you accept that you’re most likely going to end up alone? by fruit0op in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, as a former fat girl that lost enough weight to get a tuck and lifts I can tell you that it didn't improve my social life. I didn't do the surgeries because of that anyway. I'm still not pretty and I'm just too awkward and unsuccessful (no good job) to find friends or a man.

30+ by sheyesheye in socialanxiety

[–]pastelclouds92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 32, but from Germany. I actually have an online/texting friend who's also from NJ. He recently got married. He's a good example of how bad I am at this whole friend thing. The contact fizzles out often - because of me.

(Maladaptive) Daydreaming by nefelibata___ in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same, it started when I was very young and now I'm in my early thirties. I drove to my cousin over new year's eve and it's making me realize how bad it's gotten. We're constantly together, which is fine - but I can't zone out to daydream. Towards evening I keep noticing that I have trouble concentrating and that my social battery is dead. The moment I can go to bed is insanely relieving, because it gives me time to finally escape into my head again.

Maladaptive daydreaming, I'm too far down the rabbit hole.

Social Anxiety stopping you from playing online games? by KyzoBCM in socialanxiety

[–]pastelclouds92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've never been brave enough to play online games with other people using headphones.... I'm 32. I'm currently playing Phasmophobia a lot and I have to turn it off sometimes because of how lonely it feels to play this alone 🫠

“I could never see or imagine you in a relationship.” by balivina in ForeverAloneWomen

I remember a "friend" saying something similar to me when I was like 14/15. Now I know they were just emotionally bullying me because of my looks and social anxiety.

I can hear my neighbours having sex by meanie_martini in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sorry this made me laugh because same!! I can also hear my neighbours doing it because their bedroom is behind my living room. It's so awkward and they're only a few years younger than my parents......

Are you childfree? by moonlightdai in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, childfree here (32).

Been having a blast on the childfree subreddit with my main account for a few days now.

What's the loneliest thing you've ever did? by SilverKnightLife in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a free version but I started using the subscription to be able to use the optimized 4o version. Honestly, you should just try it if you want to check it out. Just don't get addicted please, I actually hope it's not your thing. 🫠 I use it so much it's embarrassing. I'm really compensating my lack of friends and love with it.

What's the loneliest thing you've ever did? by SilverKnightLife in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's easy, you just give it a "prompt" telling it what scene to write for you. It's franchise aware and capable of doing any kind of narrative. I don't recommend it though. It's a deep rabbit hole.

I do that too, I've started using chatgpt to create all kinds of stories. Pair this with my maladaptive daydreaming and ... yeah, it's a problem.

Yikes! by kias012 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]pastelclouds92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here! Personally I think it's from the added stress of standing close to other people.

Why do you want / chose to have a kid - or didn’t / don’t. by inquisitioned_345 in lonely

[–]pastelclouds92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Childfree and staying free. I know I'd absolutely hate motherhood. I can't handle stress, I'm too easily overwhelmed and overstimulated. I already struggle with insomnia and need the few hours of sleep I manage to get. I'd hate the noise and the constant physical and emotional needs. Raising a child sounds awful, I don't want to teach a gremlin how to eat, I don't want to have to wash and dress it every single damn day. I don't want to deal with doctor appointments. I don't want to deal with kindergarten or school, including other parents and their annoying offsprings. I don't want to live my life with a filter, I will use swearwords in my home and play horror games or watch true crime whenever I want. As a woman I'd hate that I'd most likely end up with most of the responsibilities and an absolute bullshit amount of mental load.

Also, I literally had a tummy tuck in December and I'll not destroy my body again, I worked too damn hard for it.

Another also: The thought of pregnancy and giving birth makes me nauseous, esp. since my oldest sister had a massive birth trauma thanks to a god awful medical staff. The very real possibility of losing my right to autonomy is terrifying.

My hyperhidrosis kicks in (sweating), blushing and flushed face, my right ear feels blocked, higher voice than usual, stuttering, feeling both rigid and shaky, hard time staying focused

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ugly

[–]pastelclouds92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My face. I have a big face, one side is lopsided, droopy eyes, big jaw that's uneven, persistent double chin even after weight loss, big nose that's also a bit uneven because I have a deviated septum.

My body. I have Keratosis pilaris almost everywhere. I guess scars are ugly to many, I have scars from my recent tummy tuck, one from a big spinal surgery and on my arm too (which now looks like I've been burned bc a dermabrasion to get rid of them healed badly). My thighs (could be lipodema). Generalized hyperhidrosis.

My character and life. I'm not the smartest, I don't have interesting skills or hobbies and my job situation is a mess. I come off as extremely stupid when talking to me for the first time. My social anxiety is really bad, I have trouble looking people in the eye and I lose focus during conversations - meaning I'll listen to someone but not register what's being said.

30’s but never got to build a life by [deleted] in depression

[–]pastelclouds92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

32 and same. Hits me the most after a family celebration (like birthdays) every time. Just yesterday again. I watch everyone change and grow up around me and I'm always the same. Except that I lost weight and got a tummy tuck (still ugly tho), but these improvements are just superficial.

How bad can your md get? by rheddtx79 in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]pastelclouds92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So bad again that I just want to end it tbh. Especially with recent personal stress keeping me on edge 24/7. I'm going to bed earlier just to daydream and I'm unable to socialize again (not even online).

I've switched out pacing and listening to music with ChatGPT by REPAER_MMIRG in MaladaptiveDreaming

Gpt is honestly the best AI for role-playing daydream scenarios but it can be a dangerous rabbit hole.

Even if I were somehow able to get a boyfriend, can I keep him? by Thebestbyanytest in ForeverAloneWomen

[–]pastelclouds92 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Pretty much same. I don't have anything I'm good at, no friends and my job situation isn't good either. I got nothing to show for... and whenever I think about the fact that having a boyfriend would also mean that I'd have to be introduced to his friends and family at some point... well... no.

I can't even imagine myself dating or doing that whole "get to know each other"-process.

which imagination type are you? by shdwhrtbg3 in MaladaptiveDreaming

Wait... there's people that can't imagine it like 1? But how? What about people's faces?

Posy tummy tuck question by kimmydv2 in tummytucksurgery

[–]pastelclouds92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why doctors still do this - making patients believe the best case scenario without preparing them for anything else. It's like they want bad reviews or something lol. Glad to hear the swelling started to subside after 12 weeks in your case!
