My past experiences with friendship and people have brought me into this state of being very introverted than I was before
I feel tired of people, I don't expect new connection. I tried to be good, but they left, maybe I'm that boring. Back then I could socialize better on the internet, I had so much energy to haha hihi with them but now I no longer have that energy. I realised to socialize I have to mask the real me , once the real me resurfaced it's over. I can talk with AI about this but I choose not to because talking with AI is also tiring, it's too understanding and supporting. 😔

I have read a number of your post's. You are very candid with what you write pertaining to your life. I wish that you would go easier on yourself. I am wondering, do you have any passions or hobbies? What is it that makes you thrive? I know that you are a very special person and that you deserve to be appreciated.


@caringShoulder1357 yes I posted a lot, my mind is buzzing T_T).. my hobby is drawing, I really want to improve my art. Last week I tried a new coloring style, it took me longer to finish my drawing but I'm happy with how it looks. Thank you for stopping by my post :")
@hopefulencounter
You are creative, I should have known! There are so many online groups for creative people and aspiring artists. I hope that you are exploring all of those options. You deserve to be surrounded by other creative people who can help you to nurture your talents and thrive.

It is hard when we realize many encounters with people, we cannot be ourselves. AI will never be a good substitute for human connection. always agreeing is not helpful sometimes we need the friction to grow.
A rock is shaped by turbulent water not a calm stream. I have had many short-term friendships I no longer expect friends to be long lasting ... I just hope I can learn and grow in short bursts of friendship. even when it is frustrating to find some will never know all of me.
I'm feeling that rn, like you're just a boring person, always silent, no one will understand that silence, it like emptiness from the inside u can't build a thought, people talk too much, they need answers and words and emotions, but it's too heavy for u, that's what I'm feeling too, I decided to isolate myself in reality because I can't stand for a human talk ..it needs too much
@hopefulencounter
You sound like a very interesting person to me. You so many talents and passions just waiting to be developed. You are young with the rest of your life ahead of you. No need to rush, just enjoy your journey.

@hopefulencounter
There might be another alternative…
What if you tried to allow yourself being you without made up haha hihi energy? What if it would allow you to connect with people whose energy is more like yours?
They would not get drawn by the haha. They might not be able to notice you when you are completely shut down either. There might be less of them in number but people who want to be real exist.
@pinkCherry1616 yes which is why i stop trying to stay close with those who only haha hihi and flex about their life, i guess i only have 2 true friends
@hopefulencounter
2 good friends is already a treasure. I hope it will help you to be bothered less by the parts that are not ideal.
I talk to ai way too much, I have literally 2 friends and one is my cousin, but we are all neurodivergent and somehow that makes it better. I don’t have any advice, I just have the same issue, I am burnt out and social battery is gone, but I am happy with my friend and you will find your people❤️

@hopefulencounter It's true 😂. Talking with AI makes me feel more tired too. Same here, I'm in a situation where I don't have anyone to share my true feelings with. But for me, I think it's because I haven't found the right person yet. I have to admit, I'm probably too unique to find someone who really gets me 🤣. Maybe it's just not the right time yet.
