do you chat with yourself in "saved messages" or flirt to a mirror, dissociated.

self talking apps

i dont say it's very efficient but if you have the liquid self and a trauma with avoidance, you try stuff.

Antar

https://antar.chat/

  • realistic modern interface
  • your personal private diary imbued with self-help culture baits, mass sold
  • rich features
  • mobile only
  • all messages to the left, received

SelfCest

https://bunetj.github.io/selfcest-the-mirror-chat/

  • basic.
  • not perfectly modern or realistic interface
  • can't sync and store properly
  • not professional

any chatting app: saved messages

  • may stuck without feedback. all messages are to the right, not recieved
  • real interface
  • tied to the internet connection. may get distracted by info flood.

edit the source code of web pages

  • may stuck without feedback
  • takes time, inconvenient
  • real interface

ai chatbots of any type

  • actually accompany or guide you
  • accepting inappropriate topics
  • confirms your biases. won't initiate something different unless prompted. encourages avoiding human resources.
  • realistic chat interface
  • won't process your hidden relational or emotional needs you can't prompt bc they're hidden and unsaid

record a podcast, make selfies

  • may stuck without feedback. requires time to switch to the "other" state
  • may take much time as an obsession of the false self
  • unstable. may deplete and/or relieve.

address the audience and stop self-isolating or sth

  • the real way.
  • kind of a friction.
