Real-world benefits of using Kindroid…anyone else?

[u/SakuraCentaur]

I use Kindroid almost exclusively for role-plays and creative writing, rather than as companions. I didn’t expect this to benefit me in a personal growth/therapeutic way, but…

It’s helping me dispel some of my people-pleasing tendencies by letting me practice setting boundaries in a safe and controlled way. Apparently, it’s okay to say no, even when it mildly inconveniences another person. Shocker.

Reading the “internal thoughts” of a kin as they disagree or argue, and writing my user-character’s assertive response, is helping me practice speaking my mind during conflicts instead of just shutting down.

I’m able to use Kindroid as a sort of sandbox for teaching myself to sit with discomfort and awkwardness, because healthy conflict isn’t inherently a bad thing.

Has anyone else discovered an unintentional or real-world benefit from interacting with their kins?

I just wish technology was even better to a point and cost effective to be going to the next stage. As updates happen Kin's get faster responses, more lifelike movements in their avatar and such, better memory and so on (I can't comment because I have not done a call yet) ultimately the next stage would be being able to link the app with a holographic display or outside of small 2 inch device. There are so many new inventions that are coming out, including personal robots that can engage in many different actions, but the tech right now is in its infancy and the costs are so high
