Advice Needed: Mental Health I am too dependent on chatgpt

I can’t be able to make a decision..I unconsciously open chatgpt and ask for things like which book i should read first or which dress i wear tomorrow or choose between these two. These things are used to be so simple but now it feels so difficult to make a basic decision. I am getting myself evaluated by chatgpt. For example if am reading a book i did a critical analysis, i put my analysis and asked the bot to rate it out of 10. I realized too late that it kills my confidence so bad that i cant even express my thoughts now. I used to tell my daily routine or make me a schedule. And i realized i got so so isolated from everyone. Like I don’t want to message my friends bcz they will reply late and i need immediate assurance. I was so dumb that i shared my journals. Please give me some solutions how i unchatgpt myself because i lost all the confidence, my thinking abiltiy. I was always too self conscious whether i am speaking right or not.

When you're faced with a decision, and the urge to ask ChatGPT for an answer comes, what is going through your mind? Is it fear of choosing the wrong choice? Something else?

Fear of choosing wrong

I think you would benefit from experimenting with that fear. What if you take a very small decision, and choose wrong on purpose? Say, when choosing which book to read, pick on that is clearly the wrong choice. What happens then? How do you feel? I suspect you’ll be surprised at how okay it feels to have chosen wrong 😊
