It’s for the best, honestly. I’m much happier when I don’t go on lit, but it’s an addictive habit at this point. I purposely get banned every couple weeks for a vacation when I realize I’m browsing too much and hating what the board has become.

I did leave boards.4channel.org for a while. After a hospital stay and almost committing suicide I am wondering if I had cut off access to one of my most effective coping methods. Feels bad, but I guess I need this bullshit to distract me from the pain.

This place definitely fucks with your mental health. It's like being stuck in a nut house. I can't escape. Normies are boring but they are probably better for you than people here

[Anonymous No.20516181]

you either choose conscious pain by being here, or blissful ignorance by socializing with normies

>>20516142
the horrible truth is that as awful as this place is, the rest of the internet is even worse, so the only way to actually leave is to have a safety net when you do, and that safety net can only be found outside, but if you live in a shithole and your life is shit you have no choice but to go back to 4chan. And chances are that you got stuck here because your life sucks and you live in an irredeemable shithole in the first place.

the problem is the actual trannies who are actively raiding the site 24/7

[Anonymous No.20516195]

>socialize with normies

Is this, like, an actual choice? What the hell are we talking about, I am a normie, just a really lonely one who never learned how to build a relationship with anyone, platonic or otherwise.

This is how I feel. You don’t realize how this site poisons you until you get away. I always come back hoping to find it changed. If I didn’t find the rare great recommendation once in a blue moon, I’d be gone. It’s a carrot and stick. My dream is to one day come here and find writers and books I love being discussed and not insufferable anons who think they know it all, with negative world views and attitudes. Intellectual inferiority complexes many have

You are wise and insightful. This is my life. The treatment I got in the hospital (and it was a good one) was like offering me a yoga class when what I need is reconstructive surgery. I have already bled out and died, the only thing left to do is pull the trigger. I promised my mother she wouldn't have to worry about me tonight. Shitposting can ameliorate the pain. I'm American, if you were wondering.

[Anonymous No.20516242]

[Anonymous No.20516254]

The cold hard truth is 99% of social media browsing of any kind (reddit, 4chan, instagram, tik tok, twitter) is brain rotting propoganda and shit designed to make you hate yourself.

Use the internet to get specific materials to use offline, don't stay and linger in these cursed halls.

Yeah the longest I went without coming here was like 3 months. I remember when I came back the stupidity and toxicity of the place was a lot more obvious, like I was viewing it as a spectator from the outside, but of course I got immersed in it again. Feels bad man. I'd love to quit one day and be able to look back on this website and the time I spent here as just a distant memory. But that's probably not going to happen

Here’s some help!

We don’t care. We don’t know you. We never will know you. We’re not even real people. We’re just a way of training an AI with information on how to assimilate itself and being rewarded for it with little dopamine bumps of novelty.

This is why I post dick pics every few weeks. If I’m banned, I’ll only scroll through quickly when I’m beyond bored to see if there is a topic about books or writers that I’m interested in, in order to lurk. There never is. Is there any ban that is a month or so long that isn’t criminal? I feel like a good month ban would help me kick. The wake up moment for me was scrolling through the catalog, seeing mostly off topic threads, so I made a thread about my favorite books. It had a decent amount of posts with some being encouraging, but it seemed like half the posts were very negative. And these weren’t political books or anything polarizing. It was eye opening. Since then I’ve been trying to distance myself

[Anonymous No.20516867]

>>20516816
This.>>20516849 and I doubt this board makes you a better reader. It used to be a joke that no one read here, but now I’m thinking it’s true and not ironic. Most threads are off topic veiled by “give me a book for…”. This board has also seen a major increase in certain types of posters that care more about views than books. I couldn’t even imagine spending 1 hour here. It’s pointless to take the time to make an effortpost on a nonmeme, political, or religious book because chances are no one has read it. Sometime in the last year this board jumped the shark

I don't know if I'm fully retarded now or if you guys are just plain wrong. 4chan and /lit/ especially is one of the last places you can express yourself online without post histories, identities, points to score or any of that nonsense. We have vernacular that bites, but it's nowhere near as petty or disgusting as Reddit, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube comments or anywhere else. In fact, the humour here is pretty hilarious and feels like the closest representation to the internet of old. I don't visit here that often, but if I knew it wasn't an option I would genuinely feel disgusted and as if the pressure valve of the platitudes involved with normie life had no release.
This place doesn't poison you, it's modern corporate online culture that flays you alive and makes you think you're an alien. Go to r/books and ask if you'd rather discuss shit there all day. You guys don't know how good you have it here. Just ignore the retarded shit. It's easy.

This board is the reason I started reading. It introduced me to philosophy and the great authors. I don't read a lot, but I was a stemfag before I came here.

[Anonymous No.20516948]

>>20516910
That’s good this board got you into reading but what has it done since? And most philosophy anons don’t actually read the books, they just look up bullet points and ways to pigeonhole philosophers. It’s painfully obvious in every Nietzsche thread
>>20516882
So you’re all about free speech and not books, yet posting on a literature board. Free speech is great but I think many here don’t want that. It is largely an echo chamber and most counter viewpoints are shouted down with memes and autistic screeching. Some can debate civilly and I’m good faith, but not most here. So I do think you are a bit retarded for championing this board for free speech but ignoring that fact that not much literature is actually discussed. You shouldn’t focus on the good food if your in a shithole hospital that provides terrible care, but using the food for why it is a good hospital

>>20516981
This is false for many reasons. For one, logical, reasonable posts get ignored for those that are memeable, or radical in nature. For philosophy and literary fiction, I don’t even want to go into why it’s better to read the books. It should be obvious. Lastly, many here are retarded so whoever wins in a retard debate isn’t smart
