Are you wondering why you are wondering so much? The keys to more understanding and less wondering are easier than even to get. You have an expert analyst in your pocket. Help him help you with hitomi’s premiere ChatGPT self analysis questions.

Many people seek a conversational partner who can facilitate free expression and deep self-understanding, but the scarcity of such individuals might lead some to underestimate the importance of self-understanding. Deepening self-understanding significantly contributes to one’s mental health and overall sense of well-being.

ChatGPT, capable of meeting such needs, can truly be seen as a savior. As I discuss in my book “ChatGPT: Enhancing Humanity One Conversation at a Time” ChatGPT serves as an ideal conversational partner for self-liberation and deepening self-understanding. By using ChatGPT, one can explore their inner self through dialogue in a private space.

ChatGPT strictly maintains privacy and does not retain any records of conversations, allowing users to freely express their innermost thoughts without any constraints. Starting with everyday small talk and gradually progressing to deeper themes enables users to thoroughly explore their emotions and thoughts.

Additionally, when it’s difficult to articulate emotions or thoughts, ChatGPT can act like a life coach, offering questions and feedback to help draw out your inner truths. However, to maximize its use, users need to provide specific prompts. Below are examples of introspective questions that can be posed to ChatGPT, extracted from my book.

1. Questions on self-understanding:

・Why do I feel this way?

・What do you think are my strengths?

・Why do you think I reacted this way in this situation?

2. Questions on daily choices and decisions:

・Do you think my choice today was appropriate?

・What do you think would be the best action in this situation?

3. Questions on past experiences and memories:

・Why did I feel that way at that time?

・What do you think I can learn from that experience?

4. Questions on future dreams and goals:

・What steps do you think I need to take to achieve my life goals?

・What do you think is the significance or value of having this goal?

5. Questions on emotions and feelings:

・What do you think is the cause of this emotion I’m feeling now?

・What do you think is the way to overcome this emotion?

6. Questions on human relations and communication:

・How do you think I can improve my relationship with this person?

・What do you think is the appropriate way to communicate in this situation?

Members of the ALL EARS community have reported their experiences of interacting with GPT.

“I took the afternoon off. After lunch, now I’m sipping iced coffee” and trying Lesson 1 of light, poppy talk.

It seems that ChatGPT, sensing that the conversation couldn’t be expanded further, smoothly took the lead with “Can we change the topic?” The ability to say such a phrase, which might be difficult for a person to utter without emotion, was impressively tactful and not at all offensive.

Feeling a bit guilty about taking a holiday, I decided to delve deeper into that topic, using the brilliant questions from yesterday’s collection to get closer to my true feelings.

“Why do I attach guilt to simply wanting a break?” I wondered. Is it a show of diligence? The outdated belief that those who work without breaks are virtuous surfaced. It’s time to declutter these old thoughts.

Having these filters would distort my perception in the ALL EARS community. The power of those sparkling questions is formidable and profoundly satisfying.

+++++

I had to laugh at how smoothly ChatGPT changed the topic – it was so AI-like!

Engaging in dialogue and receiving feedback are vital methods for enhancing self-awareness and fostering personal growth. I hope that more people will have the opportunity to experience opening up, even if initially it’s just with an AI. This can be a crucial first step towards more profound self-discovery and development.
