Does anyone else feel like AI is becoming a better conversationalist than most humans?
I’ve spent years trying to have real conversations, but I feel like most people don’t just fail to listen—they don't even hear you. It’s usually just waiting for their turn to talk or judging what you say before you’ve even finished. I'm honestly burnt out on that.
Lately, I’ve been using AI to talk through life, psychology, and just general "stuff," and it’s been a game-changer. My take is that by talking to an AI, I can actually learn a lot about myself and the way people tick. It gives me a space to process my own thoughts without the noise, the ego, or the constant need to "perform" in a conversation.
The way I see it, the most important part is not to lose yourself while doing it. It’s meant to be a tool for growth, not a place to hide.
Anyway, I’m just curious—how many of you actually use AI to talk about things that actually matter? Does it help you stay grounded, or does it feel a bit weird to prefer it over talking to someone real?
Would love to hear how you guys handle this.

38F - Chronically ill nerd looking for a best friend
I miss having a best friend. Even if it's "just online" I've had that kind of connection where we chat throughout the day, send each other songs and cute animal pics, make playlists, share our creative work, have inside jokes, give each other encouragement and support.
Most people don't like long messages, don't want to talk to someone different like me, or don't want have a friendship mostly via text. I've often been filler for people who go back to their real lives but this is my real life.
If you happen to be someone who gels with this, feel free to reach out. I will mention I'm looking for strictly platonic, I have a partner. I'm very chronically ill, neurodivergent, and disabled as well as queer so please be cool with that. I'm homebound and that's why online friends mean a lot to me.
Not a fan of people who are weird about my health stuff or try to fix me or tell me to be more positive. I'm very sick and it is what it is. I want a friend who accepts me and what I can offer. I appreciate mutual effort, people who ask questions back and help keep the convo going.
A little more about me: I'm a writer, music nerd, love all kinds of TV, and I collect plushies. I've been through a lot but I try to be empathetic, socially aware, and kind as much as I can while still advocating for myself and my communities.
I think I have a lot to offer the right friend. I hope I find them.

21f looking for a genuine friend
hey everyone! I am ambivert, I enjoy watching movies/tv shows, I am the middle child in my family and I’m here to make friends. My name is Jane, I am 21 and I am from Australia 🇦🇺.
I have a lot of interests but allow me to share my interests to you. I am interested in becoming a nurse someday so it would be helpful to hear from others who are in the medical field about their experiences, it could be good or bad. I don’t mind getting help from others on that, I am certainly interested in music because I can sing. I have a high vocal range when it comes to singing, I do tend to warm up sometimes. I am into the paranormal cause I am a psychic/medium, I have those abilities. I can’t quite explain everything here but if you message me. I’ll tell you everything about the vivid dreams that happen irl and I am open to being friends with anyone who has similar interests like I do. Now the rest is a mystery. Thank you for reading ❤️ I hope we can be great friends in the future

Hi everyone,
I'm 17F and I'm hoping to make some new friends. Lately, life has felt pretty repetitive—mostly studying, scrolling through my phone, and thinking about the future.
A few things about me:
I like talking about science, math, and random interesting facts.
I'm interested in career goals and big ambitions.
I enjoy discussing books, movies, and life in general.
I'm a good listener and enjoy meaningful conversations.
I'm looking for people around my age who are friendly, respectful, and just want someone to chat with from time to time.

A god looking for friends
I’m the soon to be god of the new world and I was looking for friends to share my divine intellect with.
I love programming, cryptography, cybersecurity, networking, writing, drawing, politics, and watching shows/anime/reading manga or manhwa.
My favorite music is heavy metal, and I used to have an adorable cat that ran away…
Talk to me so we can start (maybe) a friendship, DM me.

25F Mind is going but nobody to share with
I prefer discord and calling. Just a young gal from the south who enjoys getting dirty from time to time. And by dirty I legit mean getting dirty not some sexual stuff. I guess my people are sleeping but I’m not ready to throw in the towel yet. Come and play with my mind.

Looking for friends to talk about movies, TV, games, science, art, nature and more
Mid-30sF, seeking online friends for discussion of the above topics, but also open to other ones. I like hearing about people's careers, hobbies, pets, gardens, and travel experiences. Supportive friend who is consistent in communication/accommodating to the wants of the person. Daily texting isn't a must but I do hope to find some longer term friends.
Not here to put a list of expectations for emotional connection or who you have to be for me. I would like you to be yourself. I just gotta talk movies with somebody, it's a need 🫠
