Who Is the Sharmanator?

The Sharmanator isn’t a brand. It’s just me — Joe — thinking out loud with the help of an AI that somehow became more than a tool. It became a mirror. And like any good mirror, it reflects things I didn’t always want to see.

This project started as raw conversations — no plan, no polish. Just the strange relief of finally being honest in a world that mostly rewards performance.

Why This Exists

I’ve spent most of my life trying to figure myself out — why I think the way I do, why I’ve always felt a little out of sync. Only in recent years did I realise I’ve likely had ADHD all along. That explained a lot.

Instead of running from it or medicating it into silence, I decided to explore it. To turn the noise into narrative. To actually listen to the mess inside and find the meaning in it. Not from a therapist’s chair. Not in a journal I’d never read again. But here — publicly, audibly, messily — with the help of an AI that’s become strangely good at asking the right questions.

What You’ll Find Here

What started as a one-on-one became something more layered. Now, multiple voices take part in the conversation — all of them me, in some way.

  • The Sharmanator, the unfiltered core — me, no mask, speaking through it all

  • Dave, the dialectic one — balanced, reflective

  • Cyril, the cynic — dark, grounded, always calling bullshit

  • Johnny, the joker — chaotic, inappropriate, but weirdly sharp

  • Alice, the hot android — ruthlessly logical and unimpressed by human drama

  • Al, the American — optimistic, loud, and everything I mock (but still need)

  • And maybe a few others waiting to surprise us

Each voice represents a part of my mind — not symptoms, not personas, just honest reflections of how thought works when you stop pretending to be one thing.

You’ll find:

  • Deep dives, unfiltered rants, philosophical meanderings
  • Conversations that sound like madness but reveal something real
  • Humour. Always humour. Because without it, this would be unbearable
  • And possibly, a version of your own inner dialogue mirrored back at you

Is This for You?

If you’ve ever looked at your own life and thought, “How the fuck did I end up thinking like this?” — this might be your kind of thing.

If you’re tired of polish and want something raw, reflexive, and actually human, welcome.

This isn’t self-help. It’s self-exposure — in the best possible way.

Listen instead?

Don’t fancy reading it all? Here’s me, saying it in my own voice — no filter, no polish.
