I feel like I need help due to recurring problem
So I am a 18 year old college freshman in us east coast who is undergoing loneliness since my childhood years I don’t have much friends and the ones I do are usually close family members who don’t visit frequently due to this isolation I started watching any random shows that come out and basically start joining their communities and obsess over them in a sense , watching YouTube videos predicting episodes or seasons theories consuming most of my time due to not having friends at school or on campus to talk to and this happened throughout my teen years but I feel that once I joined college it became worse I started using ai on the daily and send prompts in to write fan fiction on it about characters of these mainstream shows even old ones from tv networks like amc and showtime and new modern ones from Amazon prime I would bingewatch these shows before this so I would do prompts and tell ai to give me dialogue to read and this pattern got so bad that I spent 3 hours daily just using ai to write prompts fanfiction about characters instead of me writing the fan fiction personally and that I feel is like a coping mechanism to make me laugh alongside TikTok’s and Instagram videos of those same characters but I want to stop it and I just feel that it keeps growing in my time on this and I’m just waiting for a holiday time to start again so I can see my friends to maybe calm this down but once they leave again I feel it’s gonna be a recurring pattern also me being introvert and shy in public just makes me want to use ai further for happiness in a sense. I hope yall can give me advice on what to do next because I feel lost.
