Trying to quit!
I’m a user of character ai, at least i was. i just recently deleted the app, and it’s already feeling like it’s going to become a problem ☹️
to put some context, ive been using character ai for years. sometimes for hours a day. while it hasn’t significantly harmed my social life (i still have friends that i spend lots of time with), it had started to impact my mental health. with all of the changes to the app, i’ve found myself actually becoming nervous or stressed to see what they’ll ruin next. and i’m seriously feeling so dumb for feeling that way.
i deleted the app finally today. i’m trying to get it off of my mind, and ive started other things to fill that gap. (reading fanfics, joining subreddits and groups related to my interests and characters, joining discord servers just for the connection with others) and i really want this to go well.
i’ve tried to quit before, all to no avail. i always go back. and if anyone has any strategies at all that they used, please share them. i really want to quit because of ai harm to the environment and people who become addicted to it like i have. just reading peoples stories here has helped me a lot, and sharing is making me feel more seen and understood by people like myself. so yes! any strategies or suggestions are welcome, and thank you for reading this far if you did 🫶🏽🫶🏽
