I knew I grew up thinking I had to earn love, i.e. attention, and approval with people-pleasing, all those goodies many of us are familiar with. But today was the first time it was suggested that I have spent my entire life trying to earn safety. Obviously I am doing a piss-poor job of it since I don't believe, although I am in actuality physically safe, I can ever say that I feel safe. I know a lot of people have criticism about AI and fear, but I have to say that I personally very much appreciate the insights that are shared with me and the insights that are provoked in me through AI.
