Why do you, personally, come to this board? What do you think you gain from being here?
i feel isolated from every other person that i engage with irl because i just can't produce the easy flow of conversation and social exchange that they can, no matter how hard i try. i feel like i'm constantly trying to catch up to other people in how i act or am perceived. on this board, i feel like i'm on the same level as everyone else.

I come to this board because I find people who share my bad experiences in life, and they have superior understanding of them compared to anyone that I talk to In real life. The most obscure feels that I have are understood on this board, and I find comfort in the fact that there are others experiencing exactly what I am, and I can discuss it with them.
Also I feel that this board offers an insight into the reality of the "other"- I'm so used to hearing about successful people all the time, how someone is doing well for themselves. But what we don't rcognise is the huge amount of people who aren't successful- this board offers an alternative perspective, outside of the realms of the mainstream culture of this age (which makes me sick- I despise what human kind has become and I fully do not conform to the modern ideology of the western world).
Don't get me wrong there are some disgusting fucks on this board who just need to die. But for the most part, it's people like me who look atthe fickle existance of this generation and just refuse to take part in its hypocrisy. This comes at a price- no gf, no love, loneliness and social alienation. I find people on this board who are exactly like me in this respect, and it's comforting to know that I am not insane to not appreciate and partake in societies whimsical theatre.
Also I sympathise with people who have had traumatic childhoods and the likes as I did too- very interesting reading about the effects it has had on their lives.
Plenty more reasons but I'll stop here.
Companionship.
I'm too scared to get it in real life, and people wouldn't understand anyways, so I do it anonymously online.
It's a place to vent, mostly. Also its a temporary escape from the typical tedium of day-to-day life.
I'm a 22 year old agoraphobic schizoid neet of five years.
I come here because robots are the only people on the internet, besides wizards, that I can relate to. This board reminds me that I'm not alone, and that others struggle with life as much as I do.
I love you guys.

I come here because it's the only place I know there are total losers in life like me.
I used to think that I was the only failure at life, but coming here made me realize there are more people like me.
I know it's patethic, but in some way, it's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one.
It's algo a good place to vent when people don't take obvious bait like retards.
>>26651722
I can only be sociable on this board.
adrenaline from shitposting. I'm pretty addicted.
>>26651722
I come because it's nice to not be a minority weirdo in every place i go, also some of the people here are nice, and sometimes some funny shit shows up.
To feel feels desu fan

For the same reason "normies" watch Honey Boo Boo, Jersey Shore or Hoarders.
It makes me feel good about myself.
Yeah, I got my own problems, but I'm not some self-victimizing manchild who spends all day in bed, begging mommy to make me chicken tendies while I'm too busy watching moe anime and pissing in a soda bottle, all the while making "tick tock, wagie!" threads.
It's just so interesting to see this board. Like looking at a humongous shit you took, or examining a piece of moldy bread before you toss it out.
>tfw you're the biggest "that guy/that kid" you have ever known, but according to 4chan's standards I'm a normie.
Quite bizarre, really.
Personally, I really miss classic /r9k/, back in 2010, when it was about people sharing life stories and people from all over the world would post interesting things about their lives, from the wealthiest, most successful extrovert to the lowliest introvert. So many different threads about so many different things.
Now, the super-introverts have taken over and now it's all just
>I'm a virgin, I'd bang a girl but I need to make up reasons to stay in my comfort zone and fish for compliments from other losers! I'm beta as fuark!!!
>I can't love a woman who's loved other guys! Especially a black one!
>I hate niggers! I have to cherrypick news articles and pump up stereotypical behavior because they make me feel inferior!
>You asked a girl out? You went to prom with a girl? RRRREEEEEEEEEE GET OUT OF HERE, CHAD!!!
it's funny place lol
I need my daily dose of sadness, to feel something.
Lately I've been seeing robot-femanon dating stories, and I wonder where the fuck do they meet.

get a load of this pretentious ass
I come here because I can relate and contribute. Simple as that.
Boredom, I just lurk and occasionally tell people to kill themselves. I'm a kissless virgin NEET but I couldn't give two shits about getting a gf or having sex.
>>26651722
because its the only way i can talk in the real world nobody cares not even my own family
If I had friends to hang out with in real life, I wouldn't come here. But this sorta satisfies my desire for social interaction. It doesn't bother me as much that I'm sitting alone in my room if I'm talking to you guys.

This. Also it feels good to hand out some life advice to our young robots in need from time to time.
>>26651722
it makes me feel better about my average life by laughing at the lives of the scum tier
>>26651722
Stories, feels, and being able to share and relate to others
>>26651722
It's fun to feel superior to people even though I have massive problems.
> What do you think you gain from being here?
Implying it's OK to be selfish, my realization of which drove me to years of NEETdom and insanity.
>>26651722
To relate to other people. Not only normies want to do that.
Although it's hard when people here are just as vain and pathetic as normies. Even more deluded than them and even more fake (specifically looking at "gaybots", straight people pretending to be gay for some reason, possibly special snowflake syndrome)
Although I like other boards when it comes to this, but it's "off topic" there (on /v/ there's a dedicated /r9k/ thread, but those either get deleted by a newfag janny/mod who doesn't know the board culture or just dies off)
>>26651722
i come for the dank memes, used to mostly visit /b/ but the porn spam there is ridiculous
