I ask AI for repeated reassurance or validation during the day.

I lose track of time while chatting with or prompting AI tools.

I use AI instead of reaching out to a real person when I feel stuck or lonely.

Starting my day with AI has become an automatic habit.

I spend time with AI that I would otherwise spend talking with people around me.

Using AI sometimes delays me from actually starting or finishing the real task.

I feel I cannot be productive without AI support.

My confidence in my own ideas has gone down because I compare them to AI outputs.

After heavy AI use, I feel mentally tired, foggy, or emotionally flat.

My AI habits have reduced my focus, rest, or sleep quality.

I feel emotionally dependent on AI to calm down, decide, or stay productive.

My mood drops when AI answers are disappointing, unavailable, or unclear.

Frequent AI use has made my attention feel more fragmented.

After long AI sessions, I feel less connected to my real-life environment.

Using AI too much sometimes increases my self-doubt or mental pressure.

It is hard for my mind to settle down after intense AI use.

I become irritable when AI interrupts my flow, gives poor outputs, or fails to help.

I keep using AI instead of taking breaks even when I already feel mentally overloaded.

Being offline or away from AI makes me uncomfortable more than it used to.

My current AI habits feel like they may be contributing to burnout or emotional exhaustion.
