Hello everyone!

I just wanted to get this off my chest. You absolutely can just ignore this entire message. I’m still making bots, don’t panic lmao!

I remember when I first discovered this site. Being previously from Character AI, i used it mainly to find escape from some tumultuous times in my life. While some might call it unhealthy, for me it was a source of comfort i had been seeking for some years. For days on end i was huddled in bed, chatting with all my favorite characters and idols, building worlds, scenarios, relationships. For me, that was virtual heaven.

So, when i found out about Janitor AI, what immediately intrigued me was the sense of community. It felt strange at first. Character AI didn’t really have that so i was weary so to speak.

I didn’t think much of it when I went ahead and made my first bot. I mainly did it for myself, loving the way more intricate process of the bot making compared to Character AI. But when I started to get my first few comments, i felt my heart start to flutter. I know, it sounds stupid. It’s just words on a screen but they felt unfathomably comforting to me. Perhaps it’s the lack of real life interaction that made it even more special to me.

Living as a shudden with a fear of real human interaction, every aspect of life was...terrifying. Reality felt so big, yet here i was, not even a speck of dust compared to it. I felt small, wanting to rot away in my room. Something told me that was what i am destined to do anyway.

But when i shared my bots, and people appreciated, approved and supported my work, it felt like i was being hugged by those words on my screen. When i started doing more and more, people started to call me by my silly made up name Sunny, they talked to me as if we were actually friends. Now it feels more real than my actual name.

I didn’t have that feeling before. That sense of community, of belonging was unfamiliar to me.

All of this started to change me, give me reassurance to try my hand at more things than making bots. I started to draw again, which i also gave up on before all this. I missed the feeling of gliding my pen across the screen and creating these silly works. While still a bit lost in the world, i now have a place of pure love i return to everytime reality starts to overwhelm me.

But enough of the sappy stuff... I just wanted to tell you, yes YOU. Thank you. Thank you for taking interest in my silly bots. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never commented or anything. And those who do leave kind words, you already know how deeply i appreciate you.

Ugh, i hate being vulnerable. Always makes my heart squeeze in a weird way.. But for this occasion, my birthday, I decided to share this message with you.

With all that said, I hope you continue to find comfort, happiness and pleasure within my bots. If at any time, i have helped you the way these sites have helped me in the past, that means the absolute most to me.

Anyways, i’m tired after writing all this. Time to drift into dreamland again...

I love you.
