I believe pic related is the greatest post in Yas Forums history and cannot be refuted.
When, for some miracle, my life is going well and I'm busy enough to not browse these boards, I am happier. I learn more information, absorb books, learn hobbies, and most importantly, I socialize with other people.
After a period of freedom, if I do habitually check this board, it is like tasting milk chocolate after eating only dark. Blegh, too sweet. The threads seem like caricatures of the mind. The topics are ungrounded, emotional, unreasonable, and absurd. I close the board and do something more productive. But, the monster of habit sneaks in, and I start to get engrossed again. Now all of a sudden I'm worrying about my body, my face, insecurities. I fear that all women are playing games with me and that I'm constantly in social danger. My social skills decrease. I am afraid of being vulnerable with people, until the point that I push them away
Imageboard brain ruins my productivity. I can't think clearly. I become addicted for new information. This place hijack's my brains' desire to learn and grow. I just read uneducated opinions from asshats who hate themselves.
I wish I could escape this torment. I used to think I was more intelligent than normies and was becoming more educated on the secrets of life from these boards. I was just learning false garbage.
Started browsing here again once corona virus started. Last time I was on here was 2013 or so. Definitely notice all of the things that pic is saying

Somehow this is bad?
Jordan Martinez
Yes. Your threat detection systems are working in overdrive at all times which keep you lonely and miserable.
Nicholas Barnes
>which keep you lonely and miserable.
Jokes on you, I was lonely and misrable before I came here.
Jason Allen
Exactly. Coming here was a decision to cope with the pain of loneliness. You had physical trauma that you were trying to erase. A calling out for social contact.
All addictions start because of trauma. This place is an addiction for many people, and it is counterproductive to the goals they actually want to achieve, which is a strong social circle.

Thank you, I've been here since ~2007, this is all true. No more Yas Forums for me today. Saving image as a reminder. It's still better than all other "social media" sites or whatever you zoomers call them.
Jason Allen
It's already wrong by the 2nd sentence, but the main takeaway is that arguing with bitter retards all day makes you one as well, and that part is irrefutable.

No 27 year old hangs out with their friends every week.
Which is how old I am. The other choice is getting a girlfriend which is impossible for me because I'm ugly

Legit. I'm leaving this shithole on Friday when Ramadan starts inshallah.

Cease your normie propaganda

I really needed this, I had a friend who start browsing Yas Forums (mainly r9k and pol) when he was 13. He slowly focused himself on the finite negative ideologies about life that are commonly discussed here. It really saddened me on how he changed and it became apparent that we couldn't hold conversations anymore. I always thought bad about this site until I started browsing here last month, there's good and bad but I find this site to include a lot of bad info that is not healthy to surround yourself with, especially if you have a weak mind. I saw firsthand how this site can change someones personality. I don't really have any issues that in life that burden me but I keep visiting out of curiosity due to corona isolation. I'm proud to say that this is my first and last post. Gonna block it just in case. See you Yas Forums.

I've "left" Yas Forums 700 times. You can't leave.

>Imagine taking this website seriously and let it affect you mentally
It's nothing but projection lmao. The things he says can be applied to any form of internet social media. Yas Forums is different because there are no user accounts or up/down votes, making it an actual open discussion. This leads to a lot of low quality posts, but also allows for very high quality ones as well. Some of the most brilliant insights I've ever heard came from here.
Luis Carter
It wastes the odd 10 minutes here or there. I’ve no social media and if the odd browse and shitpost is the difference between me and everyone else who is permanently glued to their fucking facebook or instagram then so be it.
Xavier Adams
>taking anything on this site with more than a grain of salt.
C'mon now. You have no one but yourself to blame for not using your brain and stepping away from the internet once in a while
Brody Wood
This place didn't poison me. It showed me the truths nobody wants to hear but everyone needs to know. It healed me. It's other social media and a lot of other pastimes that are too sweet. This site is the bittertasting one that can be good for you, if you have the sense to separate the bad from the good. Don't eat the fucking wrapper. There's a lot of projection from OP. Mainly the selfhating part and selfhating for coming here is an aspect of the shit he needs to resolve.
If you can't go a week without Yas Forums you are on here too much. If you can't see women and niggers for what they are, you're not on here enough.
Jacob Anderson
this + it's often fun

>Some of the most brilliant insights I've ever heard came from here.
Imagine actually posting on Yas Forums instead of lurking and chuckling at all the retarded, """"Advice"""" posted here
Jason Carter
This place is not bad It introduced me to the darkweb, and buying nice drugs there It showed me how awful people could be, and also how dangerous one pissed off nerd behind a computer could be It made me laugh, and in more ways than I'd admit Anons kept me company when I was most alone But perhaps most importantly of all - Yas Forums inspired me to get fit, and as of 12 months ago am on the path of righteousness and have never felt better cheers lads

I fear that all women are playing games with me and that I'm constantly in social danger. My social skills decrease. I am afraid of being vulnerable with people, until the point that I push them away Way too fucking real dude. Same exact experience here, word for fucking word. In highschool when I browsed Yas Forums it was the same shit. I became very timid and reclusive and just all around afraid of social interaction. I stopped coming her and I became a machine in my productivity. Turned my GPA around from a 1.5 to a 4.2 in just two years, changed my body from a fat obese fuck to in insane shape. In college I even started to make friends. Then years later in 2018 I started visiting Yas Forums on occasion, until it was daily. Stopped doing everything and reverted back to the type of person you described here. I know this place is shit and that it literally poisons the mind, even if it’s just a website. I’m glad you posted this and I read it. I’m gonna go get banned
Andrew Cox
Relative Newfag here,
I can see how this place can become addicting, but theres shit your gonna find here you can't find any place else. I've seen some of the funniest shit in the past year browsing here, I come back from maybe 30 mins to an hour a day, I started on Yas Forums but im kind of abandoning ship over there, I'll only go there for 10 minutes or for when I feel like I need to make a specific thread and learn about something, just look for effortposts and effortposts yourself while ignoring low effort commenters. I mainly go on Yas Forums because it insipires me, as well as /k/ and /out/ because those are stuff I like.

TLDR
(your probebly just a looser who cant do both, yea i didnt read, just guessing what you said)
