It definitely told my therapist a lot when I said to her, "I can be honest with you because I don't need you to like me. I'm paying you for a service."

In a way, yes. I work in the cheese industry, and there's only a handful of manufacturers making things; a lot of times the only thing that differs is the packaging. Especially when it comes to something simple like shredded mozzarella cheese, the store brands are all the same product with different packaging.
I work (4x10 with 30 minute commute), go to the gym 3 days a week, cook healthy meals, maintain relationships with a handful of people, and get 6-7 hours of sleep.
Yeah, my "gift" was undiagnosed ADHD which has made life absolutely miserable to navigate once I left the extremely structured environment of school.
Alas, I have the 'nothing at all gives me dopamine' ADHD. I thought it was just depression for years, but turns out it was ADHD. I struggle to see any benefits that come from my condition.

I struggled with depression a lot when I was growing up. And to deal with it, I ate my feelings, and gained a ton of weight. Even though I've lost most of the weight, (down from 350lbs to 200lbs) my body is never going to look good due to the stretch marks and loose skin.

69F (20.5C) year-round. Just for the memes.
Honestly, pretty shitty. Given the political climate of my home (US) is exacerbating the problems I already face between untreated ADHD, depression, and who knows what else, I've just been dissociating the days away.
Where do you draw the line, exactly? AI-generated art doesn't discriminate based on how wealthy the individual whose art it is copying is. Most artists aren't wealthy. Their work is being stolen just as readily as Miyazaki's. The fact that Miyazaki's not using his wealth to help others is completely irrelevant to the conversation.
No, the people around me are mostly racists, sexists, and bigots. If it wasn't for the internet, I wouldn't be able to find my people without moving far away.
