Internet addiction

How do you get rid of internet + videogame addiction? I need my computer to work as a programmer. All my music is on it. Youtube is my TV. My attention span is minuscule. I waste too much time on porn.

clean your room user

I may be internet addicted but my room is very clean. Not a problem.

condition yourself
treat yourself if you did something good
penalize yourself if you did something bad

Use a flip phone, use under powered machines with Linux, and get a gf. And learn to exercise a little self control, you overgrown child. Addiction doesn't real. You're just being a pussy.

unironically switch to linux

linux's videogame support is close to null, so even if you wanted to waste time by playing games, you wouldn't be able to

Ok, why do you waste too much time on porn? Are you not managing to wage slave 8h or so a day?

I have a lot of free time. Quasi-NEET. When I'm bored for more than a few seconds or mildly stuck on something I tend to switch to porn. It's a big problem.

But you'd genuinely rather do something else but can't?

Well, set an alarm or something, only watch in the evening. Do the other shit you want to do until then.

are you me user-kun?
anyway i do have similar problems with you user-kun ,,till now i've Reading "self-help" stuff across internet and stuck on /sig/ from Jow Forums.
there's a thread about productiviy stuff and i probably gonna practice it soon

Go out side niggle

>video game addiction
You still get pleasure from toys?

Install linux, then just start writing code.

Become a monastic.

kek

Install plan9 or install linux and unplug your Ethernet cable

I have literally the opposite problem, I don't spend enough time on porn and get reminded how futile existence is.

My solution is to go to coffee shops to do work. There's no way in hell I'm gonna try to look at porn while out in public, so it forces me to work on work. And, it keeps me from getting distracted by youtube or general web browsing because I don't want people to see me at a coffee shop just browsing the fucking web.

how do you waste time on porn? Jerking off doesn't take long

I'm on the opposite side, I stopped playing games and enjoying things and I wish I was addicted again.

how do you avoid looking like a massive posing faggot?

>Jerking off doesn't take long
HAhahahahahahahahaha
Sometimes I'm not satisfied until until I cum two times in a row. I often edge for hours.

not him but don't put stickers on your laptop
don't use a macbook

if you look even remotely normal, you'll be the least faggy person in the shop

who knows, maybe Temple OS

Change 5PM. It's not accurate.

>When I'm bored for more than a few seconds or mildly stuck on something I tend to switch to porn
Fuck, I do the same thing. I think this mostly comes from my inability to masturbate; fuck phimosis.

>my inability to masturbate
How do you get off then

Delete all your browsers, use your computer only via the command line, block all distracting websites, etc.

Cal Newport's digital declutter.

Remove all non-essential technologies for 30 days, then re-introduce them if you need them.

>treat yourself
this is impossible when you're depressed though. what do you treat yourself with if you can't experience pleasure?

play enough vidya to get bored of it, worked for me although now i spend all my tame at 4channel

You can treat yourself to less pain. Everytime you do something bad, be it fapping to degenerate porn or being unproductive, take a deodorant can and drop it on your foot. Then go up to the mirror, get in your face and say to your reflection, "You're a pathetic subhuman. You deserve all of this you fucking piece of nigger shit."

For a positive response, eat ice cream or something when you do a good job.

drugs
food
porn

Yes. Literally hurt yourself to see if you still feel. Not like those cutter bitches, but by using blunt force trauma to induce actual pain (which will heal without leaving cutter scars). Then, show yourself this is real by having your own reflection tell you what a loser you are.

And watch as things turn around.

This helped me when I was at your shoes. Steam does support some games on Linux, like Dota tho.

I played GTA V on HP Zbook 1st gen/Debian Buster just the last week.
Who has just one PC in their home? Going to enjoy Metro Exodus via the Steam Home Streaming later today.

>"You're a pathetic subhuman. You deserve all of this you fucking piece of nigger shit."
That sounds like it'll just lower your self esteem.
>Literally hurt yourself to see if you still feel.
He'll just stop doing it after a few blows.
How about imagining God has seen all your degeneracy and is going to send you to Hell for being a nigger, and you're trying to earn his trust by not commiting sin anymore?

Unfortunately this is no longer true.

Knowing OP it's not enjoyment, he just needs some kind of distraction.
I actually installed Plan 9 but I always find some other new thing to fuck myself with, like playing farcry 2 on my gf's xbox 360

>There's no way in hell I'm gonna try to look at porn while out in public
It seems some people on Jow Forums are better than others.

This. for me its more like wash up in the sink after being up like 6 or 7 hours. shower has been busted since last year.

wash your dick

>How do you get rid of internet + videogame addiction?

Nothing wrong with internet addiction. Just focus on academic things.

There is something wrong with media (video games, tv, netflix, anime, porn, social media, movies) consumption.

Cleaning your room is the first step to keeping your shit together with little incremental steps as Jordan Peterson says.
What else do you know that is easy to do and that you know will make your life better ?

Get a creepy porcelain doll. Every time you feel the urge to fap, stare into it's soulless eyes.

Works every time
>inb4 doll fetish

Cleaning your room is retarded. Jordan peterson is a pseudo intellectual. Most
intellectuals are overrated and retarded.

Instead of cleaning your room, you can get rid of the bloat in your room.

Block vidya and youtube with proxy. I also find that music can be a good way to manipulate my mind to do something productive.

>Cleaning your room is the first step to keeping your shit together
how does that make any sense

will do

First step is understanding the psychology behind it. You are addicted to the dopamine hits. Second is to go cold turkey and delete all your social networks. I haven't used Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/LinkedIn in 2 years. After that I don't know, because I'm personally still addicted to YouTube and Twitter and to some extent Reddit, although Reddit I'm super close to defeating because of how condescending and patronizing their users are it's a fight between the dopamine hits and recognizing a lot of the stress, frustration, and depression from that site comes from their underhanded attacks. And I guess that's why I was able to leave the other social networks when I accepted they were doing more harm than good.

psychology is for pseudo intellectuals. I'm sorry you fell for this trap.

just reveal your power level in every single sub you visit. you'll not want to go back soon enough.

that whole site is cancer. the more esoteric the sub, the better, but in general redditors are groupthinking pop-science-worshiping leftist trash. use it for links and nothing else.

Jow Forums is social media as well. (You)s are upvotes.

>Nothing wrong with internet addiction. Just focus on academic things.
>implying that blowing 9 hours reading wiki articles is better

>get rid of the bloat in your room
i came to the same conclusion, so i am going to kill myself to remove the bloat

No thank you.

People really need to realise that all the punditry about how the web would usher in a new era of enlightenment and education were wrong. They still use the phrase "grand sum of human knowledge" though, as if its a religious mantra.

>2 years
lol what a lightweight

agreed
what a fcking waste it all was

>People really need to realise that all the punditry about how the web would usher in a new era of enlightenment and education were wrong
no they weren't
they were right
you can learn fuckign anything on the internet

I hate this image. I've been doing this for the past 8 years and I assure you that I DO NOT take a shower every day and I don't cry myself to sleep.

1. Install linux (or even *bsd) for no gaymes
2. Set up firewall to block all porn and Jow Forums

>this is what redditors think

Suicide is bloat, you make a big mess.

stop being a neet

This.

Some people become millionaires from what they do online. Some people become vegetables. The internet is what you make it. What's really being highlighted is you.

but Varg is neet? also being neet is lindy

Start going to gym, get a gf, go to church, spend time in nature, read books. Simply, do other things, hopefully things that are healthy in nature.

Antipsychotics. Blocks dopamine signaling, makes your brain less excited over your habits, while you will become less active, your mind will become more calm and rational. Talk to local psichiatrist

>go to church
gay

>showering
People really do this?

By selling your big gayming computer and get a cheap laptop only for studying-working.

Start thinking about what are you gonna do or which is the job you want to get. Then study and reward yourself by wasting time on internet or porn.

Getting a GF probably is the worse advice. If you are literally nothing ( no job experience, abandoned college or w.e ) then wasting your time with someone instead of starting now with a positive change (Studying,reading,exercising) for your own future.

Also you will want a useful bitch after you succeed. Bitches who doesn't work or study and waits for some idiot to maintain them forever are useless. Study/word hard and then get someone at your level.

But finding a suitable scene can take an hour or two.

This actually cured my vidya addiction, since steam refuses to work on my Debian install. But then I just became addicted to Jow Forums.
