Given that you are 25+ and the meme is true that this board is a sanctuary for underclass/omegas people.
econ 101:
Does Seeking emotional support, feeling that you'r not alone, etc...overcomes the damage you get from being along bunch of the same people you are?
By definition if you here it is, but maybe it's just temporary, or some other case...
i dont believe anything can fix me, so there is no harm in being here
This board is the only way some people can communicate their feels
U can't tell that util u see a therapist!
Srls, have u tried?
*crowd snaps in applause*
No, this place is an emotional crab bucket, where you can vent about your insecurity and any attempts at self improvement are actively shot down. If you want to do something about your life, quitting Jow Forums altogether is the first step
>Is it even healthy to be here?
Depends. It's good to be able to vent every now and then. I come here for maybe an hour every other week, and often times writing out the shit that's on my mind is the point where I first realize what it is that's actually bothering me.
If you sit here every day for multiple hours, it is absolutely not healthy. Mental states are self perpetuating and enforcing, if you constantly talk about how everything is shit that's how you'll feel.
I've been to therapy, left Jow Forums for 10 years. nothing changes.
This place is for teens, uni kids, and men who stopped developing at 18. Curse whomever invented broadband. If this were 56k days, I wouldn't be wasting my time here.
>No, this place is an emotional crab bucket,
No, lurk for a couple of days.
You get validation, which gives you comfort but at the same time inhibits your will to change.
Basically it suppresses the symptoms and reinforces the cause: it's toxic.
Therefore, this acts as a support group but instead of promoting change, the accepted escapist mentality is: "It's not us, it's the world, don't change." (it's a big "circle-jerk").
Most of you need a good kick in the balls (or a punt to the cunt) because you're pretty much addicts that don't even want to change.
I've just recently turned 25 and have been on this board since around 2011/2012. In a few weeks I'm going to buy a plane ticket to oregon and hitchhike around the state and possibly down to california.
I'm hoping it helps me at least get out of my shell or at least I can say I've seen a few beautiful places before I an hero.
>If you want to do something about your life, quitting Jow Forums altogether is the first step
My life's pretty good, user. $100k in the bank, looking for houses, good job, tall, don't live with parents, not a virgin. I could be out tonight listening to bands or mixing with people in my profession at a meetup, I could probably even line up a date if I had a shave.
See the above paragraph? See how much of a faggot I sound like? Achievements are by definition competitive. Bragging about your achievements, which people like you equate with """self-improvement""", is ego-inflation and narcissism. Jow Forums may or may not be healthy, but Jow Forums is probably the only psychologically healthy place on the whole internet, because it forces you to discard your precious identity and connect with other people, without competing with them or trying to convince them to believe in your identity.
>he thinks the meme is real
oh OP you make me laugh everytime
>because it forces you to discard your precious identity
The problem is that we have no real reason to believe that authenticity is valuable or worthwhile.
We have absolutely nothing to base that concept on except fucking Rousseau. And a bunch of 19th and 20th century European art critics we'd probably think were colossal pinheads if we actually met them. And a separate bunch of psychiatric theorists, every last one of which was a charlatan and quack.
What if the way to be healthy is to contrive an identity and then occupy it?
>What if the way to be healthy is to contrive an identity and then occupy it?
Occupying an identity isn't the problem, it's contriving an identity that you then fail to live up to that ruins everything.
What do you think of the idea that mental illness comes from maladaptative traits that used to be adaptive? Maybe the problem is that we're exposed to a larger world, and we're obsessed with the people at the top of the pecking order, so we invent identities that are impossible to really fill.
This place is miserable.
I feel happiest when I'm here
Emotional support is for people with emotions aka women
We all come here for meme pictures and pointless arguments
Jesus christ, learn to speak English you FUCK
As a true robot you can come here to post and get some semblance of acceptance or you can just be alone. Is being completely alone healthy?
No because this is the only place you can find multiple robots. Basically normies are just the boomers who keep telling you to try harder or their version: "just lift bro" while in reality they have no idea what the average robot goes through
Tl dr:The world does not understand robots, but Jow Forums does because it is made of robots.
The only correct post. I would add that people become what they surround themselves with, and when you look at the average thread on this board, it's clear why so many of these idiots are suicidal
Lol, you fag
