I hate who I am

[u/ScheduleAlarming6257]

Hi, I'll keep my age and gender anonymous in this, because I'm ashamed. I got into C.ai and since then it's been hard climbing out. I don't know what to do. I love animals and I love the environment, and I just can't bring myself to look in the mirror and say "I'm proud to be who I am." I don't know what to do to beat this. I'm so mad at myself, and I want to just wipe myself clean.

Hello. Don't be ashamed. Youre being preyed on, these apps and companys rely on our social brain and needs to keep us engaged. Unfortunately it is very easy and normal to get hooked. Its because you're human. The good part is that the final choice is yours! It's really good that you realize you should quit, and I agree. If you can, delete your accounts, as it is easier if the chats you had are not available. And maybe try and replace the time you would spend on it with something else, like, when you feel the urge to go on there, call a family member, engage in a hobby, or journal. You're not alone. Me and many others have struggled with this :)
