...like I was a more gooder perosn before I was here.

Now I just swear at the memes all day long and don't make beautiful things anymore

Yes, I get really depressed every time I re-download the clover app

Without a doubt. 4chan ruined my life.

and people used to respect what I did, now they spray graffiti and the plain clothes man had to stop me being arrested

idk

ijdk

>>17328089

nope. 4chan was the psychological hardening i need.

even after the crap i spew from here my boss still says im 'too PC'. and ive dropped the nigger bomb at work

it made me into a better person (by making me into a worse person prior and learning from it)

I was like a hardcore racist/misanthropist who'd bully people online and harass strangers. Maybe it's just by getting older, but I love everything and everyone now and appreciate life and all aspects of human culture and society.

No, I'd be more isolated than ever.
My social skills would atrophy, and I've speak in mostly grunts.
I'd have no stimulating communication with others due to my phobia of other people seriously hindering my capacity to interact with others IRL.

I'm a newfag and I've always wondered why people say this.

Is it an addiction or something? How can a website make your life worse or is this just a scapegoat for real individual problems?

Nah, probably not. I don't take 4chan seriously, so it doesn't affect my life that much. I'm also somewhere in the middle on the introverted-extroverted spectrum so while socialising in person tires me out, I still have a need to talk to people. 4chan fills that need. If I wasn't on 4chan, I'd be somewhere else, guaranteed.

Warp sensitive individuals are either driven mad by the chaos or hone their skills to become a Psyker

This place is filled with tools and tards. Reddit has em too. The superficial people with a strong us vs them mentality. This place also has genuine people as well. I will say that when it comes to knowing about drugs Reddit is a billion times better. Even with the cringey pun humour I prefer it to this.

People internalise the shit they read here and it begins to affect the way they think about the world. For example, the idea that women are nothing but sluts and whores is perpetuated on 4chan a lot, and if you take that seriously, you actually begin to think that all women are sluts and whores.

No, my downward spiral probably started when i discovered Encyclopedia Dramatica and IRC in 8th grade. Given the content that ED covers it was only a matter of time before I ended up here.

I was a big fucking autist before I got here I don't think it made me any worse.

I wish i knew, it's just being there with me for so long...
It definately made me a more critical person and more open minded but that doesn't grant happiness.

If you started coming here when you were in high school then this place probably acted as a catalyst for your autism.

>>17328089
I don't know, I mean, I was an autist before 4chan and you can't anything away from zero.

>>17328089
I think I'd have my morals back, wouldn't look so harshly upon blacks/Mexicans and women.

But if I hadn't ever started lurking 4chan, I wouldn't be with my now boyfriend of 4 years.

>>17328089
Honestly, this place is practically my last place of human contact that isn't out of convenience. I genuinely don't know who I would be talking to if I didn't have 4chan.

>>17328418
I realize that many anons are hateful bastards, it's either them or the deafening silence.

Yes.

No, I would find a different autistic outlet. Maybe I would turn to gaming or anime instead, which is way worse.

Honestly, 4chan isn't that bad. Yeah there's gore and shit on here but it's posted by a bunch of tame white kids trying their hardest to be edgy for people they don't know.

>>17328089
No. I think you're using it as an excuse, as something to blame for how your life is turning out.
You can have a good life and come here, or a shitty one even if you didn't know of this place.

Maybe this site is allowing you to have a "bad" life, but you could do that with a lot of things, it really doesnt matter because the root problem is within yourself.

No
I would probably be just a tiny bit more socially acceptable to the point where I can get a girlfriend, but I'd still be the angry introvert I am today.
I feel like I learned a lot through this website - cooking, music, health & fitness, technology shit, I don't regret it.

>>17328259
Get out.

>>17328089
Nah, 4chan told me straight that I was a cringy fat neckbeard; now I'm /fit/ as fuck, have interesting hobbies, and can entertain chicks with countless dank memes.

>>17328089
Maybe. But if I never came to this place I wouldn't have met my soon to be wife.
