I just noticed I haven’t visited Lemmygrad in a month, cause I was afraid of opening the site. Same reason I ignore important emails, don’t respond to friends and sometimes “ghost” people. If someone calls me on the phone, I answer, if someone wants to hang out I go and hang out, but it is so easy to shut out the digital world. Kind of unfortunate everything is moving to the digital realm… or is it by design? Is it a feature of the digital system that those of us with anxiety won’t be able to participate fully? People ask me if I have instagram, nope. I don’t post about my life on social media, yet that is what is expected to be a participating member of today’s society.

    I made great experience with DeepL. They offer not only translation but also the option to rewrite your text. Here is example:

    hi, I don’t know if I can make it to the appointment. I hope you are well.

    This has been transformed to:

    Hi there! I’m really sorry but I’m not sure if I can make it to the appointment. I hope you are well and I look forward to seeing you soon!

    Sometimes also ChatGPT may be a help to. I once forgot to greet my father when he had birthday. I told GPT what I want and how the stile should be. I had a positive respond from him. Try it out, it might help you!

      I was thinking of paying for Claude. It’s $20/mo. but I see it as having a personal assistant/teacher that knows everything and is available 24/7. Maybe I could even run a local LLM and feed it my emails and written documents so it can sound like me too.
