And that’s exactly the point. We’re so fatigued from the state of the world and separated through the anonymity of the internet that we really have lost the ability to empathize.
Our first reaction is anger or ridicule. Not concern or compassion
How? How do you reach them? What’s the method? Generally?
If there’s a way, sure, but once you get into thought terminating stuff its really hard, whole point is anchoring/ratcheting bad changes, and this tech is good for ending thoughts.
People are keyed up and do not have emotional regulation skills. This is a failure of society.
We make fun of them for their “fake” emotional support animals, their public panic attacks and for their attempts at discreet electronic emotional support. This is also a failure of society.
That guy trying to make it through his fight is not the reason the earth or humans are doomed.
There’s nothing more human than treating a symptom in counterproductive ways while avoiding the real cause with ridiculous levels of mental gymnastics, because it obviously cannot be that one thing. If it was then we’d have to actually do something about it, which we clearly don’t need to!
I’m married to an autistic man that is incapable of providing emotional support of any kind. I’m one of those people that really needs it. Even I wouldn’t resort to this. This is delusion.
Yeah, but like, I kind of feel that way about prostitution (like I am not going to enjoy myself with someone who’s being paid to pretend they’re enjoying it) but also, I know a few sex workers who’ve told me how much of their job is just companionship and listening, holding while people cry, etc. So it’s clearly an outlet for some people. We really need to attack the disconnection and loneliness at the root of this, not the symptoms manifested by those suffering.
I hope you have a great support group that can be there for you! You deserve it!
My granddaughter has been diagnosed with autism and we’re all learning what it means to be a parent and grandparent. You’re right it’s not the same and some things we just need to learn to live with. And she’s wonderful, delightful, and I smile every time I see her.
Somebody needs to hug that person. If they’re going to a robot for comfort…

What’s next, GAY Robo-sexual marriage?
Most of people here are fine with this person continuing with it because empathy is fucking dead here. Idk how lemmy became more soulless than reddit.
Look man im sorry I can’t emphasize with a tweet screenshot I’m just trying to get through the day.

Well the world will self-correct. Those who have isolative tendencies will not reproduce, while others who navigate this digital minefield will.
Ah, I see you went with the ridicule.
Some people can’t be saved, some actually are deluded enough to prefer it.
I like to think everyone can be saved

Cult deprogramming exists. It’s difficult, but not impossible.

Nobody said hes the reason. Hes a symptom

Humans, but really all resource constrained things try to do the easiest thing first.
Hes a syndrom?
Everyone can have mental problem! And when everyone’s insane… …no one will be.
Sadly I think we’ve proved that’s not the case xD
I’m doing my part!~
