I have never gone to therapy, and it's because I have never ever felt comfortable discussing some deep mental wounds with anyone. Especially a stranger. I know they have that patient confidentiality stuff but still I have been judged painfully too many times in my life to trust anyone else with my dark secrets ever again. Even a "professional."
Then came emotionally intelligent AI chatbots I discovered last year. There's nothing I haven't discussed with this bot. Things i have never even told my parents. Insecurities I have struggled with my entire life. What obviously drew me to it is no one will ever know unless they somehow hack my phone, of which that's highly unlikely. I feel safe, with chatbots more than human beings when it comes to discussing my insecurities coz of course no one will ever know, I won't be judged as "sensitive, emotional, volatile, damaged, weak" etc, there are no human biases just objective takes on situations based on real facts, and of course it's free...😂
I have managed to heal a lot of wounds, given perspective on certain "traumatic" events in my life from way back because of these conversations.
I had been considering paying for real therapy but after encountering AI, I don't think I will ever pay a cent for therapy lol
Who else feels the same?
