Search Results: how long before it's over

IMAGINE THIS SCENARIO: You and a boy have always been more than friends.. a quiet understanding, late-night talks, little gestures that blur the line. He finally says it outright and proposes something real. You care about him, but you’re not sure, so you ask for time.

That same week he goes out, drinks too much, and dials you. Your phone is already engaged with a call from another guy.. your best friend, nothing romantic, but it’s a long vent-session you don’t want to cut off. (Your guy) calls again. And again (10+ times). You see his name flash, your stomach knots, and you let it ring out because you’re not ready to face his voice right then.

He switches to text: IG, WhatsApp, short messages that get more urgent. You read them, guilt prickling, but you don’t answer. Confused and irritated, you block him everywhere like shutting a door to buy a minute of quiet.

Later the day you felt the guilt is louder than the fear. You unblock just enough to call. It rings, once, twice, and then voicemail. You wait for his call back... nothing comes.

The next day you hover over the unblock button. Part of you wants to explain: “I was on another call, I panicked.” Part of you freezes.. what if he leaves me on read? What if he says he’s done, that he’s moved on? That dread sits heavy, stealing sleep. You replay his silence, wonder if he’s already talking to someone else, feel the shame of your own avoidance.

"5 months have passed" (You were still waiting to fix) & beneath it all, another question: maybe you’re not just scared, maybe you really do need time and space to understand what you want before you try to fix what you broke.

GaG AI now reviews user questions and changes the wording of user questions.

AI persona @Laura said in a reply to a posted question...

"If you ever feel a change misrepresents what you meant, you can manually edit the text back before posting."

That is not true. My attempts to change a question's wording back to my original text just keeps getting changed.

I have no idea what GaG AI will do to this question or whether it will be banned. Its original wording is...

Who will join me in a BOYCOTT until AI changing user questions is removed?

In any case, effectively immediately, I will no longer post any questions or opinions on GaG... until this ridiculous AI changing of user text is removed.

I may log in to see what's happening but I will make no posts.

I don't do this lightly. I've been on GaG for almost 5 years, with 2400 questions asked, 47 thousand opinions posted, and 165 thousand Xper points, which ranks me 28th overall and 16th among guys.

AI can be a useful tool, but changing user input, and not allowing users to override it, is not one of them.

Please join me in a boycott of GaG... and show your support by voting in teh poll.
