By skyforbes But then out of nowhere she’ll drop something deep or personal, like she’s trying to connect but only from a distance. And the second I try to meet her there, she shuts it down and starts talking about how great AI is or starts mentioning her ex or just switches out of the moment completely.
The part that actually threw me was this one thing. I said something real and she told me it sounded like AI. That hit weird because she told me she experienced something similar before, so I didn’t expect to get put in that same category. Not like emotional hurt, but more like wow, why talk to me at all if I’m just another bot in your head.
It feels like I’m in some kind of friend zone but I’m not even a friend. I’m just text on a screen to this person. And she’ll go on and on about how great AI is and I’m sitting here like… I’m human, I’m here, I’m actually talking, so what does that make me in this conversation, you know?
I’m not trying to date her or anything. It’s just confusing. She’ll open up a little, then close right back up and start praising AI again like that’s the only thing that matters. It makes me feel like I’m not even a real person in the dynamic. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Is this an AI thing, an avoidant thing, or am I reading too much into it? I don’t know. Just looking for perspective.
UPDATE:
I really want to thank everyone who took the time to give perspective. I read all of it. I was a little overwhelmed at first. My intention really was just to get insight because I felt like I’d hit a wall.
A lot of y’all gave me things to consider from different angles, different interpretations etc. I stepped back, went through everything again, and looked at it from a different place than where I was when I wrote the original post. I understand a lot more now. I’m better with it.
Still open to people’s perspectives
