Why do I keep coming back to this website when it is clearly damaging my mental health?

Because you got nothing better to do

How does Yas Forums damage your mental health?

I can see how Yas Forums fucks with your brain (it did so to mine), but fucking Yas Forums? This is a safe space (unless someone starts bragging about his amount of international tinder matches, which makes me suicidal)

The constant race bait threads are driving me insane. I can’t even scroll through the catalogue without seeing a flood of them blocking out all the interesting conversations. It doesn’t help that the Janny is totally incompetent and only deletes threads that insult Russia.

why are people addicted to any harmful getaways from life? this is on the same level as video games, porn, etc

Because this website has become a partial substitute for your socialization. Instead of satisfying your social needs through people irl you’ve grown used to doing it here.

It's like crack.
I'm actually more afraid of the time Yas Forums goes down completely.

I mean it's already basically red1t and I do my best to keep chan culture alive by spamming gore threads on blue boards but a one man army ain't gonna cut it.

Still, I keep coming because I've been in this shithole since 2009 so why not? When it's finally taken down, I'll have nowhere to go...

you can go outside and talk to people

I don't like people.
Yas Forums allows me to avoid their retardation and just do what I want.

Interacting with people can be a drag most of the times. People are to easily outraged and full of their faggotry which I don't care for.

Being on Yas Forums means doing nothing but interacting with others.

You clearly missed my point.

Yas Forums is completely based around what people other than you think. It makes you weaker at thinking for yourself and absorbs you into the collective

"no".
It only works that way for cucks (you).

You come on here to see what people other than you have to see and then you react to it

I come here and mostly post what I want and interact with a few threads when I'm bored.

You're literally projecting.

Would you post if you knew people wouldn't reply to you?

Maybe I'm cringe but I actually really like it here.
There are retarded bait posters sure but if you stay away from the worst boards it's not bad. I like to go on Yas Forums, /lit/, /out/, and Yas Forums usually and it's mostly discussing interests and hobbies of mine with posters from around the world, pretty nice actually.
Plus the anonymous posting lets people say whatever the fuck they want without fear which I think is great

What the fuck else is there to do?

What if... we are all society?

wasting time vs doing something more productive

this

T’bh it's not bad for whities it's a circlejerk for you

>wasting time vs doing something more productive
Even if Yas Forums ceased to exist, you'd still waste your time in other site

Those damages make your brain stronger

There are some cute Yas Forums posters who make this board worthwhile
