Hi. I had a terrible upbringing and most of my adult life was spent taken advantage of. If there's one thing I should believe in now, it's that people aren't worth it. But I don't.

I guess I see the good in me and believe I can't be the only one who is this way. I know there are others who are trying to fight the whole idea of a society constructed on "me, me, me", for example. But I won't really force it.

I do have a rule though and it's that most people (based on my own history meeting a billion different ppl) on the internet are dicks who won't treat you right. For that reason I don't spend much time on the internet (apart of studies) and I certainly don't try to befriend anyone.

However... I don't think everyone needs to socialize. I'm pretty sure I could be very happy living on a deserted island for example. So if someone wants AI over human that's cool, but I guess I'd be careful about doing it for the right reason. Having a history of complete abuse I know there are many things i think I like/dislike, but actually if I only got to see the other side of the coin I might like them. For that reason I don't want to give up on humanity just because I've met lots of crappers, but I won't desperately search for good either. I'm fine with the idea of spending the rest of my life perusing my passions, and I'm fine with being surrounded by people I can truly call friends.. whatever happens happens. It's kind of everybody's personal choice what suits them the most. ^{^} So that leaves it to.. what makes you feel good? Do you want to do that? And it doesn't really have to be a permanent solution either. Maybe go with the flow ("-")
