Who else gets heavily influenced by 4chan? I went on /b/ back in the days and I was edgy, /r9k/ made me misogynistic and self hating, /pol/ made me a racist, more misogynistic and an angry person. I'm currently browsing /fa/ and I want to radically change my wardrobe.
Is it normal? Am I just a weak cuck? I feel the people on this website, while being anons are relatable, kind of smart and I'm eager to take advice from them
almost everyone who posts here is like 15-17 dude
don't take this place so serious

To be fair I'm 19 and started browsing around 15. I don't know man, that's the only place I know where people don't have to be fake.
Sure, there are shitposters but they're part of the fun

I know that feel meme, sometimes you meme so much you start forgetting who you are as an individual and become a meme.
My advice, don't take anything on here seriously, assume everything is a meme or you'll be a meme.

i feel ya m8. im pretty alpha irl, yet 4chan has definitely influenced me. wasnt as big of a misogynist before, neither was i as racist

Yeah but our memes feel real. What if the outside world were a meme? This place didn't change me THAT much but it offered me another perspective

It's a circlekerking but it's a circlejerking that makes sense

no, we are only laughing at people like you

Humans adapt to fit in with whoever they socialize the most with. If nearly all of your socializing comes from /r9k/ you will take on their beliefs. The best thing to do in this situation is to ignore your immediate thoughts on something and manually think about it so you can know what you actually think about it.
I'm mainly /pol/'s bitch. It's an easy trap to fall into when you know for a fact that the mainstream media is full of shit. You assume that the guys saying the opposite aren't.
4chan is right.
4chan will explicitly explain to you why something is wrong/incorrect. But the problem is that you'll never find any solution here.
Despite all the super accurate ramblings from /pol/, /r9k/, /fit/, etc. They have never ever produced results.
Knowing a lot about a problem doesn't makes more likely that you'll be able solve it.
Being right won't really help you IRL compared to other skills like having charisma or money.

wearing girl panties is way more comfortable than regular underwear

having been on on 4chan for ten years, this place didn't make me hate myself. I already hated myself. That's why I stayed here, even though I have less and less in common with the zeitgeist as the years wear on.
if you find yourself taking up 4chan's beliefs its probably less likely that 4chan convinced you with an argument, but rather that you didn't and don't have any strong beliefs or convictions. If you stopped coming here and started hanging out with mainstream-liberal normies for whatever reason, your beliefs would soften and start moving towards theirs.
Anyone can convince you of anything by osmosis if (and only if) you've never truly convinced yourself of anything.

I dont know man, I never agreed with the liberals and gay normies (I wasn't a total sperg either). I feel like this offered me a safe space and kind of trapped me. I know what's bullshit and what isn't, like I would never deny the Holocaust or buy Rick Owens but when I compare here with Facebook, it just feels right you know.
4chan earned my respect in a way, and know I "trust" its people
