Seriously, who buys something like this? Even as a joke it's weak and drags on for at least a month. I can imagine it's not funny anymore after several days. Like canned laughter.
At first it was kind of amusing. Absolutely did not have any affect of making me feel positive or awesome. More of a 'ha ha check out this wacky service' conversation topic than anything.
After a week it started to get old very quickly. I started to avoid answering when that 'UNKNOWN' number called in, preferring to receive my false affirmations via voicemail. There is an interesting/creepy dynamic in that I am having the same people call every day and forming these unspoken "yes we know each other" type relationships.
The one thing that has helped me enjoy the service again in the last week is that they hired some female callers. I know that these calls are just a service, but there is some deeply hardwired circuits in my lizard brain that make a cute girly voice insincerely saying "You're awesome!" make me feel much better than a guy doing it. Not "Oh my day is great now!" better, but it at least makes me smile and feel good for a moment. Evolutionary heritage at work.
All in all it was fun, but I won't renew for another month. I do feel good about trying it out rather than just passing armchair judgement about whether or not it would actually be enjoyable.
Shes the type that always thinks negative about themselves. I imagine everyone knows the types.
Nothing beats the attention a real live human being can give you though.
On another note, I talk to her every night and say shes beautiful. So whats another gesture telling her shes awesome.
