I believe that the feelings you hold for them are enough, personally 🩷 If you have the money and possibility, though, a lot of people get plushies of their f/o(s) to cope with this missing. Also writing and reading cc × reader is a good alternative and lots of people do also chats with c.ai to compensate more. I personally dislike generative AI, but c.ai is not that bad in comparison to the other, bad things I've seen with AI, I don't know if this makes sense somehow.
