Woman's unique bond with a tree goes viral: “It’s like dating a best friend”

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): A video has surfaced online featuring a woman who has embarked on a unique relationship — she’s dating a tree. In the video, she explains that she has been seeing the tree for two weeks, and together they enjoy simple pleasures, like watching movies and relaxing by the water in the afternoons. She’s even incorporated an AI system into the tree, which translates the vibrations detected from its leaves into sentences.
In a surprising moment, she expresses her feelings to the tree, and the tree, using the AI system, responds with, “It is a beautiful day." This interaction, she notes, has deepened her unconventional bond, although she admits to feeling shy about taking the tree out in public.
The woman shares that she’s also working with a therapist to become more comfortable with this unique relationship. Her therapist has recommended exposure therapy to help her gain confidence, suggesting that she spend more time with the tree in public settings. Embracing this advice, she and the tree recently spent an afternoon at the beach, where they enjoyed a romantic picnic together.
This unusual story has drawn considerable attention on social media, with many people intrigued by her bond with nature and the level of personal connection she describes. While unconventional, the relationship has evidently brought her joy, and with continued support, she hopes to feel even more at ease about sharing her love for the tree openly.
