Hey! I truly do not even know if this is the best sub to bring this up, but I do not know any other that won't give me biased answers to the AI side.

I never saw myself as a cogsucker, never used any sort of AI for emotional help, advice or relation in any shape or kind. Most of my chats in most of the AI sites are regarding translating things for my job, asking for them to look for documents that are on the internet and that I am struggling to find, sometimes asking for some sort of breakdown on a subject I am studying for a near exam. Again, never have I ever saw the AI as anything but a machine, in the best scenarios a tool.

But I fall down the rabbit hole of roleplaying AIs quite easily, I am not going to lie.

As someone who was (and still am) quite nerdy, I was young when I find out the whole universe of fanfiction and this is something I still have a bit strongly as a hobby. I do enjoy to read those stories and look for headcanons online, I joined roleplaying groups when I was younger, had more time and was more cringey, so sites that roleplay characters were a tad attractive to me.

When using them I never put myself on a situation where I feel those things are real. There is always this awareness that nothing there is real and that makes the fun. I roleplay always as a different person, mainly on fantasy scenarios or similar unreal moments with little emotional attachment, I easily change between characters and wipe everything if things are getting boring.

A part of me truly do not see any trouble with that since, as I said, I see this as the same as reading fanfiction or something when I have the free time. At the other hand, to see so many cases of people getting unhealthy about their conenctions with different kinds of AI made me worried that I might be, somehow, downplaying my own situation.

When does one reach a point where things are truly concerning? What are the signs? I would really love to hear more opinions about it since, as I said before, most of subreddits I know on the matter lean strongly on the AI side. Thanks!

Hi! Sorry if it sounds a bit too much like a rant, I am just afraid I am doing something really wrong.

Everyone around me acts as if jumping rope is an innate skill, and most of people on the internet seems to agree it is a very easy habit to pick up, but I find myself struggling so badly.

Maybe a little dramatic, as I started three days ago. Been spending 20 minutes a day to try. Never jumped rope as a kid, and being obese means everything too physical feels hard for me. I bought a rope because it sounded fun, and I cannot deny it is.

I struggle so much though. At the first day I could barely jump twice before the rope got caught on my feet. Yesterday my maximum was five, most of the times only two times. Today I was able to get eight in a row once, average of three jumps before I messed it up.

Is it normal for it to be hard? I have one of the smartwatch and it says I got 200 jumps during 20 minutes, and apparently it is 2m30s of actual jump rope. The rest was the time after I failed where I had to fix the rope, make sure my knees are bended and my hands are in the right place before trying again. It really feels like I am struggling way too much in something that should be easy, and everyone I see acts as if it should be way easier than it is being for me.
