Users Who Prefer Encouraging AI Chatbots - What They Gain

Research request! I'm looking to talk to people who like the very encouraging, affirming style that AI chatbots sometimes adopt. The kind of conversations that some people describe as supportive and confidence-boosting, and others describe as overly validating and sycophantic. I'm not interested in debating whether it's good or bad. I'm curious about what people get from those interactions and why they find them valuable. Anon is absolutely fine! If you're open to answering a few questions via DM, I'd love to hear from you.
