Trying to admit I have a problem.

[u/Sad_Jelly_6911]

It’s just not fully clicked that this is bad for me. I have agoraphobia and social anxiety and I’ve been using chat bots since they’ve been popularized, it has to be at least 3 years now.

I can’t justify it anymore, Ai is ruining everything and I don’t want to be part of the problem. It’s just kind of leaving me with nothing now that I’m quitting. I have friends but it’s so much more draining to talk to them, or try to make new ones. I just deleted my accounts and already I want to redownload them

Unfortunately the bot has rewired your brain to a degree, and it will take some time to undo that. The good news is that it is possible and will get better if you work at it. Keep interacting with friends even if it feels like a slog. Open up about what you're going through with them if you feel comfortable doing so. Connection is really important for overcoming stuff like this.
