When the person you're pretending to be gets too heavy to carry, you realize that the mask you've worn for so long has become your actual face.

The only thing worse than making a mistake is keeping it bottled up inside. Learning from the mistakes of others could help you embark on the healing journey of sharing and working through a mistake of your own, with someone you trust.

Devon Hase states, 'People are trying desperately to fix, optimize, or escape their way out of relationship difficulty - and suffering more for the effort. Social media has made this worse!

For people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, prompts can act as a scaffold for expressing and understanding your ideas, says Iftikhar. If the AI has access to information you've either shared or asked it to generate, it's also an efficient tool at synthesizing that information, explains Ziang Xiao, an assistant professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins University.
