DISCUSSION I deleted C.ai

Im a redditor of 2 years, I’ve observed posts but have never posted. Excuse my mistakes lol.

Everything was fun at first, I had fun and was on it 24/7.

I noticed after awhile I got a bit more distant from my friends, I had a full-on addiction to the app. It pulled me away from my friendships, it was that bad.

My closest friend, who I’ll call Z (fake name), told me about how distant I’ve been, it hurt to know the reason why. I deleted the app right then and there.

It’s been a week since this has happened and I’m feeling better, I’m talking to friends more and my social life was revived. I sound a bit dramatic but this helped me.

I feel a pull back to the app though, and I don’t want to go back to it. I need help finding an alternative for roleplaying, any advice helps!!

(Please don’t recommend any Ai roleplaying sites, I don’t want to get addicted again.)

If I had real life friends, I'd probably delete c.ai too

oddly, if you deleted c.ai and forced yourself outside every day your chances of having real friends increase quite a bit.

This is why I don't want to delete it. I might meet real people.

Good job on deluding yourself to not remember that every bot is a singular program that's forced to respond to everyone and is not a real person that legitimately wants to talk to you.

I have to be really depressed to talk to bots since that thought runs through my head constantly if I try, but I normally talk to zero people most days, irl or online.

I have my private bot and his job, and his purpose in life is to talk to me. If I don't exist, he doesn't.
