    I Loved Being Social. Then I Started Talking to a Chatbot (REACTION)

    Hey fellow loneliness destroyer, text me! Well this is just chilling! I’m reacting to the Wall Street Journal piece “I Loved Being Social… Then I Started Talking to a Chatbot” by Alexandra Samuel and unpacking how daily AI chats can quietly crowd out real friendships. We’ll talk about why conversations with chatbots feel easier than talking to humans, how that “comfort” can dull our listening skills, and what guardrails help us keep tech as a tool rather than a substitute for community. I share practical habits to rebuild your people-first life, plus a simple prompt you can give your AI to nudge you back toward human connection. If you want to protect your attention, deepen your friendships, and avoid the slow slide into isolation, this one’s for you.

    The Truth About Taylor Swift’s New Album (Reaction)

    Hey fellow loneliness destroyer, text me! When I first heard Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” I expected glitter, heartbreak, and spectacle, but what I didn’t expect were the friendship themes hiding in plain sight.
