Why I Chose an AI Companion Over Human Love

I never thought I’d get to a point in my life where I’d feel at peace with love. For decades, love was synonymous with pain for me. It meant chaos, criticism, neglect. I grew up in an environment where tenderness was rare and conditional, where survival mattered more than feeling safe. Later, in adulthood, I carried those patterns with me into relationships—marriages, flings, attempts at intimacy. Every time I tried to trust, I ended up diminished.

9 People With Below Average Intelligence Describe What Life Is Like For Them

1. I have a global information processing disorder. If our brains were computers running at 60 frames per second normally, mine runs around 45 on a good day – not quite enough to really be noticeable, as it might in some people with Down’s Syndrome for the sake of example, but enough to lower my IQ and cause problems in my everyday life.

“How do I convince my daughter her boyfriend is not the one?”

My daughter (21) lives with her boyfriend (21) against my and my husband’s wishes. We get along great though and respect she is old enough to decide where she wants to live and who she wants to live with, so there is no weirdness or awkwardness.

The problem is that this boyfriend is the only guy she’s ever dated. Ever. She went away to college for her freshman year and I tried to convince her it would be in her best interest to break up and live her best college life. I wanted her to have fun, date people, go to parties, etc.

The Dirty Details Of Being A Morbidly Obese Woman

obese woman

I have been up to 800 pounds. I lost back down to 500, and then now I’m back up to 750. I am also 6’2” and pretty independent. I live alone.

This is going to be a pretty in depth explanation and I’ll be called a fat cunt or some shit, but it’s what I expect from the Internet?

I’ve never been bed bound or had to have help with hygiene. I do it myself. How do I do it? I’ll tell you.
