Stop waiting for someone else to fix your life — start by truly understanding yourself.

The author, Bikey Thapa, describes how using a specific ChatGPT prompt completely changed their self-understanding. They realized that most people, especially in their 20s, are strangers to themselves — unaware of their hidden fears, desires, and self-sabotaging patterns.

The breakthrough came from a TikTok-found prompt that asked ChatGPT to act like a hyper-intelligent therapist: unpacking the user’s deepest hidden fears, internal narratives, and patterns holding them back, layer by layer, without being polite or sugarcoating anything. A second prompt pushed even further, suggesting which habits to break and adopt using an 80/20 rule.

The exercise felt like a personal audit — offering raw, objective clarity that the author says felt almost like therapy. They encourage readers to try it themselves as a way to spark radical self-awareness and personal growth.

Some users see it as a way to supplement traditional mental health services, despite troubling privacy implications.  

But there are also potential pitfalls. Powerful general-use chatbots including ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft Corp.’s OpenAI-powered Bing Chat are based on large language models, a technology with a well-documented tendency to simply fabricate convincing-sounding information. General-use chatbots aren’t designed for therapy and haven’t been programmed to conform to the ethical and legal guidelines human therapists observe. In their current form, they also have no way to keep track of what users tell them from session to session—a shortcoming that most patients probably wouldn’t tolerate from their human therapists.
