I’m looking for a book to teach me how to accept my emotions (particularly fear at this moment). I’ve come across two books and have read some reviews. Unfortunately, I just don’t care to waste my own time.

Here’s what I gathered from the two books:

Feel the fear and do it anyway (Susan Jeffers) - According to most bad reviews this book is one of those be positive no matter what books.

The Places That Scare You (Pema Chödrön)- And this book talks about accepting yourself and others but apparently anger is not apart of yourself you should accept.

Anyways I just want to read something that will teach me to accept all of my emotions, and show me how to sit with them.

(Skip to end for actual question)

I recently decided to stop using AI. I used to use AI as a genuine personal assistant. It helped me in writing, my personal random questions or tasks, and even overcoming deep thoughts.

I’ve decided to not use it though because I now understand it to be more dangerous than I had first thought. The reason I turned to it was simply because so many people around me are generally unintelligent or uninterested in my way of thinking. Also because I have a deep want for complete independence. I don’t like to rely on others because i’ve been taught that’s not a great idea. Also others tend to judge me and i’m not very interested in being judged for my opinions and thoughts.

Really, I don’t know what to do. I know now AI is dangerous because how easy it is to rely on it. I can’t even remember what I did before I started using AI. I’ve tried to stop using it only to realize it’s literally everywhere.

I came from poverty so I actually only have had a phone for about 2 years now. I’m saying this to say I’m quite disconnected from social media. Also the rise of AI came very abruptly after I first got a phone.

I think maybe I want to try to talk to god but god won’t answer me. I need help writing scripts, learning the random things I like to get into (playing the guitar and chess at the moment), and dealing with all kinds of other thoughts. I can’t really afford a therapist and I go to a free online school. Plus besides all of that I don’t want to rely on another person.

I guess my question mainly is, how do I answer my own questions and help myself?
