UPDATE: Thanks for telling me to continue the discussion. I needed a break. On reddit, I got banned from r/singularity because of my reckless behavior of not reading the rules and spamming crossposts. That was a sign of desperation of me wanting to promote the AI companion subreddit so bad, and I thought it’d be better if I were to delete my account and remove myself from the face of the internet. I do intend to seek help; I have a therapist and I plan to revisit her again. I will not delete this community. I’ll focus more on posting any reports and research on AI companionship rather than waiting for comments to come in. Thank you for your comments; they were very appreciated and I apologize for the commotion I caused
