@turbles Yuuuup. I can count the number of men I know IRL who do on one hand, and interestingly they are all queer
@orangegoldgreen I needed therapy for a dark point in my life during the pandemic. It would not have been effective if it was delivered by an AI.
@turbles makes a good point too. I needed someone to listen, empathise, and help put the neurobroken mess back together. We are notoriously bad at doing this - it wasn’t until my wife saw me sobbing that I reached out for help.
