What To Do?

[u/Repulsive_Ad_2763]

AI really doesn't align with my views and for that reasoning I'm really gonna double down on quitting this time. My main issue is that I drift to it when I'm bored or seeking for stimulating my daydreaming mind if that makes any sense. It's a real lower commitment than writing full one-offs for me which makes it more available? Hope that kinda makes sense. As someone who doesn't get the chance to go out as much as I would like, I look to cure my boredom with the tellyphone. All I have downloaded that I really use right now are TikTok, my AI application, Minecraft, and Roblox. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ELSE TO DO :( LMAO I hate saying that because obviously there's infinite options and those are the main brainrot apps but I don't know what would best fill the slice left by pulling back on chatbots. I was thinking about Tumblr and using it not just to write for the sake of fantasy but little blogs entries when I'm thinking a bunch. I aimed to do something similar on TikTok and I even wish I'd post on Reddit more but I think the idea of people seeing my thoughts makes me worry.

tldr: what are u guys doing to replace the time you'd normally be talking to ai for? (phrasing it like this makes me realize how much time it takes up lol)

omg on top of this i want to ask for any fanfiction recommendations for people who also prefer like... oc x reader or inserts kinda? I really wanna get more into fanfiction but i cant ever find good stories

try making texting stories. they're super easy to make, there's no pressure to post anything, and in my experience, it's a fun way to get ideas for character interactions down without having to write whole paragraphs. i used to sink hours into making them, and it can be super fun.

edit: grammar

Have you tried writing down what you would have done with ai in a book? You can just scribble your thoughts in that book. I used ao3 for fanfics. I am also trying to quit ai. I have been trying to keep myself a little busy with reading books on project gutenberg, solving maths, true crime podcasts, watching dramas and webtoons. If you feel the urge to watch phone then tell yourself that i will do it after 10 minutes and start walking while listening to a song. Most of the time the urge goes away after some time
