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.
