When everyone else got the memo

Everyone seems to know how to be a person. You’re still checking the instructions.

Tell Buddy what feels off. You do not have to turn it into a diagnosis or a neat explanation.

Your first messages don’t require an account

MeI was with people all evening and somehow felt more alone afterward.

BuddyWhat part took the most work — being there, or pretending it wasn’t work?

The room is familiar. Somehow you still feel one step outside it.

You laugh a second late, rehearse an ordinary reply, then go home and wonder why it took so much energy.

01

“I can do the conversation. I just can’t stop monitoring it.”

That sentence is enough to begin with.

02

“Everyone else makes this look automatic.”

Say what happened right before it.

03

“I’m tired of translating myself.”

You can stay with this part for a while.

No performance required

You can stop trying to sound normal here.

Describe the odd, embarrassing, overthought version. Buddy will not ask you to make it relatable before answering.

You can ask Buddy to listen, ask a question, be more direct, or simply stay with the thought. Ordinary words are enough.

Quick answers

A few straight answers.

Do I need to explain why I feel different?

No. Start with one moment that felt strange and see where the conversation goes.

Will Buddy diagnose me?

No. Buddy does not diagnose. It can talk through what you notice and how it feels.

Do I need an account before I write?

No. You can send the first messages as a guest. An email code is only needed if you choose to save the conversation.

Is Buddy a person or a therapist?

Neither. Buddy is an AI companion. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, or emergency help.

Can I send voice notes here?

The web chat is text-only. If you continue in Telegram, you can use text or voice notes there.

Buddy is here

Tell Buddy which part felt strange.

One moment is enough to begin.
