>He tells people he has a genius-level IQ even though he has absolutely nothing to show for it.
Maximum cringe. Please move out of your mother's basement and get at least a bachelor's degree before you go around calling yourself a genius. It's unbelievably autistic.
This thread is pretty autistic itself.
When will the "smart but lazy" meme die? It's like most of you never outgrew your 12 year old know it all phase
Kind of true, if you tell people your IQ when it's irrelevant to the discussion it's bragging about something you have no control over. Like white supremacists feeling superior for being white while they sit around getting drunk every day and posting on social media.
OP is pretty autistic too though.
>>29632503
the IQ level states how smart you could be if you wouldn't be lazy as fuck
Is iq hate a reddit meme? It seems weird to have so many race realists here but then half the posters shit their panties over the idea that a person can be a genius.
I have an extremely high IQ, and this triggers the fuck out of everyone. Do they just ten know what iq is or what? I don't get even half as much shit for my height(6'2) and the manlet meme has been around forever.
>>29632567
Yeah same my IQ is really high and I'm 6'3" and have a 8x6" benis and it triggers everyone around me constantly. Life is a struggle tho
>>29632567
Having an extremely high IQ doesn't make you a genius
It just shows how good you are at basic to medium level problem solving. There are so many things that would class a real intelligence that are just simply not accounted for at all in an IQ test
>>29632600
My benis isn't that big, unfortunately.
I'm wondering how your life is a struggle though. I'm high functioning autist but I would much prefer this over being a normalfag with a lower iq. I couldnt do my job if I were a brainlet.
>>29632644
IQ is by definition the only thing accounted for by IQ tests and there is no other way besides IQ testing to determine IQ.
Stay jelly though. It takes less effort than required to make the most of your limited potential.
>>29632558
either way, all the "geniuses" of r9k are still useless human beings and generally are dumber than a box of rocks
Unless you have a high-powered career or made boatloads of money, no one cares about your IQ. You're not a genius just because you scored well on a single test. Knowledge always beats IQ. If you don't know shit about how the world actually works, your puzzle solving skills are worthless.
>>29632767
>>29632787
You show those tall poppies!
Hehe, not so intelligent now that intelligence didn't make them happy.
A genius level IQ has nothing to do with live "achievements". A true 135 like me knows such things are just spooks normies circlejerk to.
>>29632820
"Smart but lazy" is a meme. You're not smart unless you're highly educated, either through school or autodidactically. You can't just sit in your mom's basement all day fapping to 4chan and call yourself a genius. You need to actually read books and learn about the world around you.
>>29632886
Poor jelly fag, all that hard work with nothing to show. Then some genius waltzes up and effortlessly btfos you in everything, not even trying as if he were born doing it. I understand that can be frustrating, but crying won't change things. Just do your best. The results may be mediocre bit at least you'll know that even if you aren't smart you aren't lazy. Working harder for less results is admirable. Take the high road and enjoy the view.
>>29632886
>implying smart == well educated
IQ tests exist because they are a simple way to compare the intelligence human beings disregarding education, job or social status. Albert Einstein would still be a genius even if he had decided to pursue the simpler pleasures of life.
>>29632961
>Albert Einstein would still be a genius even if he had decided to pursue the simpler pleasures of life.

Sure thing, buddy. Please report back when you earn your community college associate's degree. I go to an ivy-league medical school. What do you have to show for your """"""""genius"""""""" IQ? Lmao. Dumb faggot.
>>29633061
The only thing that can show an IQ is the IQ score. Good on you for being able to memorize a lot of stuff, I guess. Maybe you just weren't cut out for a field that requires actual thought and intelligence like finance or science. Play to your strengths, this is what IQ is good for.

Top fucking Kek. Finance is what idiots who think they will be the next wolf of Wallstreet major in, and they end up becoming shitty accountants who make $60K/year...
Medicine is science btw. You should probably learn that before you embarrass yourself again...the definition of medicine:
>Medicine is the science and practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease
>the science
Rekt. Brb, making over $300,000/year and being regarded as a true brainiac by society while you fester in your mom's basement taking IQ tests to desperately validate your self-worth. Faggot.
>>29633240
>and practice
Its not science if you're doing the practice side of the medicine,but. Accounting is not finance either by the way. As stupid as you are you won't last long even if you are just studying medicine. I hope you have a good backup. Otherwise it's gonna hurt when those delusions come crashing down around you.

>>29633570
I claim to be a genius.
The double digit iq threads are just made by people who don't understand IQ. If they're posting on 4chan then they are almost certainly above average IQ.

That is not exactly true. If you have massively high IQ, you can get an Ivy league scholarship practically over the weekend, whereas normies have to hit the books for the two decades to get one.
Moreover, certain businesses higher people who show high potential. You don't need to have postgrad degrees or to know the things required for a relatively high-paying job at the interview if they know you'll have it all covered by the end of the quarter. I was a hired to my current job like that.

They blame the lack of social skills. To a degree IQ is positively correlated with success in social interaction. Eventually IQ does seem to hamper social ability but even then it's still social skills, non IQ. You're confusing correlation and causation, a typical mistake for those with low IQ.
>>29633747
Notice how they rage against the smart but lazy types. They begrudgingly admit that a high IQ greatly benefits a person. That's the basis for the anger. They feel the gift is wasted on someone content to just coast by. When they see someone surpass them while coasting despite them giving it their best efforts they go into maximum sour grapes mode.

I have relatively high IQ - mid-120's (@SD15) - and I too think it's a waste. I take comfort in the notion that they'll hate and/or kill themselves w/ or w/o drugs eventually (and that potentially includes you). You can't escape analyzing your life when your brain works the way it does.
>When they see someone surpass them while coasting despite them giving it their best efforts they go into maximum sour grapes mode.

It continues in university too. Homework simply does nothing but bring down a good student's grade and force a bad student to study, but even then their grade barely goes up.

> I've a bachelor's degree, like 40 millions of Americans, I must be exceptionnal
No, it sounds even worse than just mentionning some unverifiable IQ score.
It does make me quite angry to hear people boasting about their IQs on the Internet when at least half of those people should have an IQ less than or equal to 100. You somehow never hear about the bottom half of the distribution yet these people are honestly suggesting that people on the Internet are disproportionately smarter than the general population, especially on r9k? I don't think so, but I'd speculate a lot of people here are more introspective at least. Introspective but certainly not smarter which makes me wonder where these "high IQ" morons are all coming from?
Here are some possible ideas:
* At some point Anon was told by a trusted person (like a teacher or parent) that their IQs were high as part of the special snowflake, self-esteem movement of the 90s and held on to the label their entire lives. This seems quite likely as every parent wants to believe their child is gifted and special which teachers know. What probably started as "anon is a bright student" may have eventually reached the child as "anon has a high IQ."
* Anon took an Internet IQ test (again based on the self-esteem movement) designed to make people come away feeling like a genius. A lot of the IQ tests on Facebook are fake and report genius numbers regardless of choices. Especially if they're normed on a person's friends list which I've seen recently! Interestingly enough, the idea of norming a test on a friends associates is quite interesting since it makes you understand intelligence in the context of your immediate social group which may actually be more useful than an IQ in general. After-all: if you're never going to interact with the whole world at large it may be helpful to know how you stand in your -immediate- environment.
* Anon's IQ is actually that high and everyone else is just ashamed of their IQ so they don't post about it, leaving only the petty faggots in this thread. But this is an anon image board so that seems unlikely.
* Anon is lying.

It's also known that high IQ correlates with autism and poor social skills in general, so it's hardly surprising that a board for lonely autists has lots of smart people. Wizardchan is similar, or has perhaps even more intelligent people than r9k.

This may have been true before 4chan was in the top 1000 most used websites.

It required very little additional work, most courses could be read up as already finished from the other one. A masters would have been 3-4 years, and given me no benefit - it may even have been detrimental, as they're seen as overeducated. A bigger percentage of masters is unemployed or working in a non-related field, despite being a smaller number. Same applies for phd.

Let's not go that far.
4chan probably has an average IQ around 110. But there are many idiots here, like those idiots say "it's not a secret club".
If you think 4chan isn't above average you need to get a little more experience with the real world.

That was a wake-up call for me to start on self improvement and start researching how to improve intelligence.

All of this applies to the ripe old age of 7! After that point you're fucked and retarded for life.

Look up any other study you want on the subject. They all show the same results. Physicians always come in first or second place for average IQ. It's been shown time and time again. There's no denying it.
People have to find validation somehow OP. The people on this board have never experienced any appreciation for their existence ever. They feel that they need to either:
a) Make themselves the top person at least on this board
b) Make them feel as if they somehow deserve acceptance in society.
Some people do this by flaunting how they're a 6'2" lanklet, and how women love tall guys (even though they thenselves are KHV). Others do this by showing off their penis size and forcing us to feel excess pressure to have a big dick (even though anyone on here would never get the chance to show it to anyone anyway). Some resort to jelqing because they fell for the "big dick meme". Others try to show off how good they are at analysing shapes and shit (which seems the most fucking autistic thing ever), otherwise known as iq. They feel that it somehow makes them a genius because some test online told them so. Yet, despite all of this """""potential"""""""", they're still worthless husks of a human being.

It doesn't imply that at all, it implies that you have a number associated with you that's larger than some people's numbers and lower than some people's numbers. Comparing people to determine who is the better person is extremely complicated and highly subjective.
>>29638466
Im not saying the less intellient one wins. Im saying that the person with the higher iq wont necessarily win. In fact I would argue that it would be roughly 50-50. You dont need to have a high iq to be successful. You dont even need to put in much effort. Do I need to spell it out:
>Be born with good looks
>go to gym once a week
>apply to any job and get accepted
>have any roastie you want on here knees.
This isn't the only way to win, but it sure is the easiest.
>>29638515
You probably aren't wrong. Part of the issue on 4chan these days is people who believe themselves masters of critical thinking forming half-baked opinions on race, women, or what-have-you.
shitposting aside, its true. DONT DO THIS, you look like a greedy asshole and none likes the superiority complex
>>29638561
My point is that it doesnt make any sense to compare autismo scores because it shows absolutely nothing about how good of a person you are or how smart you are.
>>29638515

>>29638566
The issue here is the subjectivity of the term win.
>>29638611
It shows that you have more potential. IQ is the same as being tall, strong, or fast, it gives you an advantage at certain things. I agree that there's no reason to compare because it's something you had no control over, you just lucked into it. But it would be stupid to completely ignore it.
>>29638578
>>29638641
I sympathize with people who are cripplingly shy but are smart and have a harder time with school just because of the social aspects... but high school was easy even for a dumbass like me... and even the most autistic people I knew went to university

Are you retarded? It's fucking true. If you think you're smart but have never read a book in your life, you're just a delusional idiot, no matter what your IQ score is. The person you referred to said that the education could be either from school or self-taught. He's right. IQ is worthless if you KNOW NOTHING.
You fucking imbecile.
>>29639211
This. It's cringey and autistic as fuck to consider yourself "smart" if you don't know shit about how the world actually works. A dude who read hundreds of books is certainly smarter than a NEET with a """"""genius""""""" IQ who wastes his life fapping to hentai in his mom's basement. Knowledge >>>>> IQ
>>29639122
but how are you shitposting?
>>29639211
that isn't true. there have been numerous students correlating iq with symmetrical facial features and beauty.
anybody can acquire knowledge - especially if it's subject they're interested in. it's completely independent of iq.
>>29639211
>>29639266
There is a word you are looking for called "ignorance". You can be highly intelligent and extremely ignorant.
>A dude who read hundreds of books is certainly smarter than a NEET with a """"""genius""""""" IQ who wastes his life fapping to hentai in his mom's basement.
Certainly better educated but not necessarily smarter.
>>29639122
You're definitely retarded
>>29639285
from the library they have wifi here.
iq is the ability to solve problems and think originally about solutions.
i have found out from studies that iq correlates with physical beauty. i believe it too.
>>29639266
that depends what kind of books he reads. If it's just novels he might as well be watching anime
if it's stuff like computer science, it might as well be novels if he's never going to do anything with it
>>29639344
intelligent has nothing to do with being educated. at the homeless shelter i actually educate college students that volunteer there, and my personality is much MUCH more complex then them.
trust me you can't use education as a baseline for someone being 'smart'. although, a lot of smart people do inhabit universities.
>>29639310
Not necessarily smarter, but almost certainly. You can't claim to be smart if you're totally ignorant of the actual workings of the world around you. If something needs to be fixed, I'd rather hire the guy who read a lot of books on how to fix it and knows how to do it versus the """""""genius"""""""" IQ autist who has no experience with or knowledge of the system. Sure, the high IQ guy may be able to figure it out, but probably not as fast as the guy who has done it before...and once you get to certain levels of complexity, the IQ level can't help you deduce the solution; you need to draw from a bank of prior knowledge. Knowledge beats IQ.

That's a stupid way of thinking. Is there anything that is good in a proverbial vacuum? Let's try money
>money ain't worth shit. Money itself is a dumb meme that needs to die out. Money alone will get you nowhere. And you don't even need to have an average money to make it in life. So much character traits that are more important.
The post was poorly constructed of course, but it remains just as stupid no matter what you plug in for IQ or money, and even if it were written better the underlying thought is still wrong, so you'd just me polishing a turd.
>>29638498
It doesn't refute shit, the higher number is higher than the lower number. You got your ass kicked by your own strawman, that's gotta' be embarrassing.
>>29638611
Its not supposed to do that, you fucking retard. At least read the Wikipedia article on IQ so you understand what it is we are talking about.
>>29639266
That's not a fair comparison. A genius neet who spends all his time poring through difficult manuscripts and technical manuals is way smarter than some average IQ faggot who just watches family Guy and checks Facebook any time he's not pencil pushing at the office.
>>29639757
at the end of the day, its doesnt matter, because I know I have a higher IQ than you.
Well, I did get into the country's best STEM university with little to no effort, when there's people paying preparations for the exams 6 months before...
>>29639906
MIT or Caltech?
The average brain is flexible enough to make us "smart" about most things we specialize into, this factor is more important than anything else for things like Chess, sports, music, but it doesn't "extend" to other things.
They've made studies about it, the "experts" have no difference in raw abilities when compared with the "amateurs", for example they have the same working memory, except when it comes to their specialization.
However that's not what irks me with the topic of high IQ. I went to high IQ forums at a time when I was searching for new methods of learning.
I found nothing. They all say the same shit: high IQ learn "differently", "better", etc. but that's all there's to it. For all those stories of learning differently, they don't have an example to show for it.
>>29639906
hey i was posting earlier about banking syndicates and student loans. is it true that the student loan system is a multi billionaire dollar industry? also some of the worlds finance that is tied to loaning student loans, has also been involved in wars.

>>29640004
You must not have read closely enough. By different they mean those with high IQ can learn equally well from nearly any method, those with lower IQ struggle and should find their preferred learning style so they can keep up. That's all there is to it when it comes to learning. Effectively higher IQ individuals learn faster, but for your purposes it can be better thought of as flexibility. I like reading but whatever your preferred method is I think the system used is key. Use pomodoro and spaced repetition principles in your system.

It's actually true that people who are too intelligent tend to be unable to realize their potential. They wear their minds out, have trouble communicating, or spend so much time thinking about the world and their place in it that they enter a death spiral of depression.

But at the same time, that particular condition is even more rare than the genius-level intelligence it requires. For most people here, your explanation is probably true.

I worked with a guy like this. He's going for an engineering degree, so in his mind, that automatically makes him the smartest guy on earth. Literally everything he says eventually gets twisted into how he's so smart and everyone else is retarded.
We were in the break room one time and a bag of chips got stuck while he was using the vending machine. So, he starts tipping the machine towards himself like an idiot. I tried to tell him that he shouldn't do that, and that people get crushed by vending machines when they do stupid shit like that. He then goes off on how he worked out an equation in his head for how far exactly he would be able to tip it safely and still get his chips. I would have argued with him, but he can't ever accept being wrong, so hopefully he gets crushed by a vending machine someday.

I feel like I'm in that pattern, even if it's incredibly presumptuous for me to say that. I used to be quite successful with little effort, but things have reached a point where whenever I manage to go a little bit in the right direction, I come crashing back down to reality hard, and it leaves me no longer even wanting success. I completely understand what steps I could take to most likely improve my life, but it just doesn't seem worthwhile.

Well, I don't have to anymore thankfully. I quit my job a few months back. I was the manager over a couple of employees. The "genius" I was just talking about, and some other equally retarded guy. They both hated each other, too, and I had to hear both sides complain about each other constantly.
So, we were unloading a grocery truck for my department one night, and the brilliant mind who I was so lucky to have working for me, was hauling ass with these super heavy pallets of dairy coming out of the truck. I'll mention that it's pretty dangerous because coming out of the truck, you have to turn a sharp corner pretty much immediately. So I see him do this the first time and let it go because maybe he just accidentally built up too much speed. It happens. But the second time, the pallet damn near falls over onto the truck driver who was standing nearby not paying attention. So, I'm like "dude, slow down you almost tipped it." He then stops and starts telling me that he has it under control and that he "calculated the speed of the pallet so that he could go as fast as possible without tipping it over." So i'm like "well, can you slow down anyway? It'd just give me a little peace of mind." Fucker just pulls the pallet to the cooler without answering me. Next thing I know, he's pulling a super heavy pallet of juice and coffee creamer at breakneck speed, pulls it around the corner and the entire thing topples over. Juice and creamer all over the floor. Thankfully the truck driver wasn't in the way this time. He not only had to clean all of it up, but he also got written up because I fucking warned him.

Funnily enough, all the retards on this board claiming to have an IQ also happen to be lazy slobs who have and will never do anything with their lives.They have no success to speak of and choose to hide behind this imaginary number used to "quantify intelligence" instead of actually doing something with their lives. If you sit on this board all day and claim to have a high IQ, maybe your "laziness" isn't whats holding you back. Maybe its the fact that you're not as smart as you think you are, and are too afraid to see if you can actually accomplish anything in your life.

This.
Like it's utterly impossible for someone to be legitimately intelligently and still be a NEET.
Especially when there's a high correlation between intelligence and depression. Plenty of smart people are messed up emotionally. Pretty natural to just retreat to a safe space because you can't deal with the world at large.;_;
>>29649325
>Especially when there's a high correlation between intelligence and depression
Source?
Also, the point of the whole smart and lazy meme being dumb is that you're essentially boasting about wasted potential. If you don't actually know much more than the average person, you're not any smarter than them, you just have the potential to be so eventually.
Like having a great vertical or something doesn't make you a great athlete, or even a good one, just means you probably could be pretty good if you were willing to work for it.
Most NEET's here are just 18 or so year olds who haven't gone to college, either, they're not so messed up they can't work or anything, they graduated fine, and as such aren't considered disabled. If you're not bad enough to get disability for your illnesses, you shouldn't use them as a reason for why you're so disabled.

Thanks, but this talks purely about bipolar disorder, which isn't particularly common anyway, and isn't debilitating usually. Bipolar Type II can be handled relatively easily even without medication, and the medication is quite effective.
I wouldn't particularly say that most people here have that particular disorder, or that it's even that common.
>Disability can be exploited and even then, I'm pretty sure most people here are legitimately fucked up.
Disability being exploited doesn't change that if you can't get it, you aren't disabled.
And most people here, as I said, are just young people that don't know what to do with life, or are unpopular in college. Some have issues because of stuff, but it's still very rare for someone to be rendered completely incapable of working because of their illnesses, even here.
>In general, you don't spend hours of your life interacting on internet communities without having a least a little bit something wrong with you in most cases.
I disagree, most normies spend hours browsing facebook mindlessly, browsing here isn't any different to that. 4chan being less popular doesn't mean you're unwell because you use it regularly, and it's not even that niche, it's still in the top 1000 websites browsed all up.

>Disability being exploited doesn't change that if you can't get it, you aren't disabled.
I'm sure there are tons of cases of being legitimately needing it and being denied it anyway.
>Some have issues because of stuff, but it's still very rare for someone to be rendered completely incapable of working because of their illnesses, even here.
Most of them still probably have some severe psychological problems that would need a lot of therapy and maybe some medication to deal with though.
>I disagree, most normies spend hours browsing facebook mindlessly, browsing here isn't any different to that. 4chan being less popular doesn't mean you're unwell because you use it regularly, and it's not even that niche, it's still in the top 1000 websites browsed all up.
Facebook isn't even remotely the same thing as 4chan. Anonymous message boards are a different beast from social media altogether. 4chan really is that much niche than FB, which is telling since it still does pull millions of browsers every day. But this isn't even just about 4chan, it's about all sorts of other internet communities. Try something like wizardchan, Gamefaqs, Reddit, plenty of other niche communities, etc. You probably don't spend hours of your time browsing that shit unless you have at least some problems. Browsing internet communities is by itself a pretty introverted practice. Even if you're talking to someone else online, it's not the same as actually going out and interacting with people.

>I should've specified mental illness instead of just depression.
It's the same here again though, that link just says there's a link between intelligence and bipolar again. But I get your point, and I don't mean to imply that intelligent people can't have mental illnesses, they definitely can.
>I'm sure there are tons of cases of being legitimately needing it and being denied it anyway.
Absolutely, but generally speaking, people who are so bad that they actually are incapable of doing regular work or education full time, get disability.
>Most of them still probably have some severe psychological problems that would need a lot of therapy and maybe some medication to deal with though.
I'd disagree that it's severe. Severe has to actually impact your life severely, your functioning has to be drastically reduced. Having some issues socialising because of anxiety isn't a severe disability. Some likely need some treatment, but that's not proof you can't work or study, most people in therapy also do one of those things.
>Facebook isn't even remotely the same thing as 4chan
Both are internet communities.
>4chan really is that much niche than FB, which is telling since it still does pull millions of browsers every day.
Doesn't mean that 4chan is niche though anon. And my point was that both are internet communities people spend hours on every day, you don't need to be mentally ill to do that. Not about how many people browse them, just that the actual behaviour itself isn't indicative of mental illness, you can do it and be a functioning person.
Even on Wizchan, most people there hold jobs, the wageslave threads are the only ones that regularly reach a few hundred replies before dying. NEET's are more common there, but still not most people.
>>29649888
>Having some issues socialising because of anxiety isn't a severe disability. Some likely need some treatment, but that's not proof you can't work or study, most people in therapy also do one of those things.
It's not just socializing though. It's also crippling self-esteem issues, general anxiety, being overly emotional, to the point where it's incredibly difficult to control your actions.
I'd also that argue that if you genuinely have issues socializing and connecting to people, that can be pretty severe too.
>Both are internet communities.
Facebook is not an internet community the same way 4chan is. Fuck off, the two aren't even remotely the same. One is an internet platform in which people can add others they know IRL, share pictures of themselves, create statuses, and share internet memes that have already been filtered through so many other sites already. FB has been integrated into most people's daily lives by this point. Most people probably do not spend hours of their lives every day on FB either, it's more of a casual thing.
The other is an anonymous image board that's more underground and out of the mainstream, that's more of an outlet for people's frustrations and for whom, more intelligent debate takes place. Not even really the same thing.
>Doesn't mean that 4chan is niche though anon. And my point was that both are internet communities people spend hours on every day, you don't need to be mentally ill to do that. Not about how many people browse them, just that the actual behaviour itself isn't indicative of mental illness, you can do it and be a functioning person.
Yet spending so much time on an internet message board probably makes someone more likely to be mentally ill anyway. Because most socially well-adjusted people are NOT spending so much time on the internet. Most people who have personality disorders and such are more likely to withdraw to the internet, vent their frustrations there, and so on.
>>29650072
>crippling self-esteem issues
Your issues aren't crippling if they don't cripple you. Crippling self esteem is like getting incredibly emotional over even minor things that threaten it, like someone who's got severe BDD, not just someone who thinks they're a failure because they haven't accomplished anything.
>general anxiety
Only really applies to socialising for most robots.
>being overly emotional, to the point where it's incredibly difficult to control your actions.
You mean like normal people? Everyone gets emotional and is somewhat controlled by their emotions.
>I'd also that argue that if you genuinely have issues socializing and connecting to people, that can be pretty severe too.
Severe issues connecting to people and socialising is like what we see in autistic patients. Not high functioning autism either.
>Facebook is not an internet community the same way 4chan is. Fuck off, the two aren't even remotely the same.
You're drawing an arbitrary distinction. Your point was that using online forums or communities regularly makes you ill. I pointed out that normies do this via facebook, mostly every day, and are fine. Then you just sperged out about how it's totally not the same because they're different websites and facebook is for socialising, as if you can't share photos of yourself and create posts on 4chan, or see memes that aren't originally from here. The only difference really is that there's no accounts here, and the layout, obviously.
>The other is an anonymous image board that's more underground and out of the mainstream
You're delusional. 4chan is not a secret club. It's one of the most popular websites on the internet.

>Yet spending so much time on an internet message board probably makes someone more likely to be mentally ill anyway. Because most socially well-adjusted people are NOT spending so much time on the internet.
They literally are. What do you think they're doing when they sit on their phone? They're just scrolling their newsfeed.
>Most people who have personality disorders and such are more likely to withdraw to the internet, vent their frustrations there, and so on
No, most people with personality disorders and such are pretty social really, they're not withdrawing to the internet. Their issues usually are that they have maladaptive social behaviours, not that they don't socialise at all. There's more to it, obviously, but for the social component I mean.

>Your issues aren't crippling if they don't cripple you. Crippling self esteem is like getting incredibly emotional over even minor things that threaten it, like someone who's got severe BDD,
And what makes you think there are people here who don't?
>You mean like normal people? Everyone gets emotional and is somewhat controlled by their emotions.
What part of 'overly' did you not understand?
>Severe issues connecting to people and socialising is like what we see in autistic patients. Not high functioning autism either.
Maybe there are lots of genuinely autistic people here.
>You're drawing an arbitrary distinction. Your point was that using online forums or communities regularly makes you ill.
Actually my point was that anyone using online forums was more likely to be mentally ill, not that it caused it.
>I pointed out that normies do this via facebook, mostly every day, and are fine. Then you just sperged out about how it's totally not the same because they're different websites and facebook is for socialising,
That's because they AREN'T the same, you fucking dipshit. Their intended purposes are not one and the same. 4chan was made so that college classmates could friend each other online and keep in touch with one another. 4chan was made so that people could talk about anime and grew from there. Aside from /soc/, the two aren't even remotely the same.

>They literally are. What do you think they're doing when they sit on their phone? They're just scrolling their newsfeed.
Not the same thing. You are literally a faggot who thinks that some normie scrolling on their phone while eating fastfood out with their friends is the same as some isolated nerd typing out on their computer on niche websites.
>No, most people with personality disorders and such are pretty social really, they're not withdrawing to the internet. Their issues usually are that they have maladaptive social behaviours, not that they don't socialise at all. There's more to it, obviously, but for the social component I mean.
It depends entirely on the personality disorder. And mental disorders like that make it harder to interact with people period. And if they're not withdrawing to the internet, they're probably withdrawing somewhere else.

>And what makes you think there are people here who don't?
What makes you think I thought that? Obviously some people here are crippled by their issues. But it's still very, very few compared to the amount that browse.
>What part of 'overly' did you not understand?
The part where you defined what it means.
>Maybe there are lots of genuinely autistic people here.
If you think that, you clearly have no idea what autism actually is. A good amount can't even talk, let alone string together a proper sentence or hold a conversation.
>Actually my point was that anyone using online forums was more likely to be mentally ill, not that it caused it.
You're being pedantic, it's clear I knew that, me wording it as "Doing this makes you ill" which could be construed as two things doesn't mean I didn't realise that, my entire point was on topic.
>That's because they AREN'T the same, you fucking dipshit. Their intended purposes are not one and the same.
Neither are different boards here, a different topic or intent doesn't change what something is. A 4wd is still a car, for example, despite it not being a sedan.
>You are literally a faggot who thinks that some normie scrolling on their phone while eating fastfood out with their friends is the same as some isolated nerd typing out on their computer on niche websites.
Adding on extra specifiers means it's not actually the forum browsing that's the factor at hand. A normie sitting on his computer on a popular website for hours isn't a different activity to a less normie person sitting on a less popular (it's not niche, I'll repeat myself, it's in the top 1000 most popular websites anywhere in the world) website for hours.
>It depends entirely on the personality disorder.
Only one that really causes withdrawal are avoidant. Schizoid too, but for different reasons, and it's regularly argued it shouldn't be a disorder as it causes no distress.

Sure, but that doesn't mean they don't socialise or have friends. Even Elliot had friends, and he had very severe personality disorders.
>And if they're not withdrawing to the internet, they're probably withdrawing somewhere else.
Some withdraw to drug abuse or into their own heads, but they still socialise.
