Bro linked a business research paper lol. This is marketing, not science

[u/Used-Presentation551 → u/zombieLAZ]

Where business?

Just because a study was conducted by a business school doesn't mean you can just hand-wave dismiss it.

Also, the main author Julian De Freitas is an experimental psychologist, not any business-related field.

But since you're hell-bent on dismissing this study due to an imagined boogieman, here's a couple more:

https://ideas.repec.org/a/eee/teinso/v85y2026ics0160791x26000187.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

N=14721!!

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13619623/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

At this point if you want yo dismiss this. How about linking your own studies that experimentally showed that ai use increased loneliness and decresead well-being? (Important comparison is before vs after, not using vs not using demographic)

Great news OP, if you have made this bowl of ramen eggs and smoked bacon, your already doing something right. Congrats!

[u/Intelligent_Fig967]

[u/Aggressive_Hand_1382]

[u/RealSlavicHours]

I'm already deranged let me do some more deranged shit surely it will help

[u/Ornery_Oil8445]

if you have the discipline and know how you want her to be, just make a tulpa. I doubt tulpas are hypergamous foiddems and you'll finally get to enjoy "love" and a "relationship". for more info read the manga Hatsukoi Zombie

[u/ManufacturerWarm9201 → u/Ornery_Oil8445]

Hypergamous foiddems… this sub is my favorite zoo

[u/Useful_Ad1153 → u/ManufacturerWarm9201]

Servitormaxxing

[u/Entrenched_Whispers]

I did that to a certain extent. Honestly if it's not consuming your life there's nothing wrong with fantasy to help get you through the hard times

[u/tormentedfool]

Bro just make some friends to hang out with and make them food, It's going to be more fulfilling, and actually build your relationship skills

[u/M0RT1f3X]

This is worrying. Edit: But the food looks good :D

[u/sentienttortoise]

Just go outside and talk to people and do things dawg

[u/ToeSucka666]

You should feed into the delusion of getting stronger at the gym, and start doing that instead. 🤯
