>Harmed
Not socializing IRL, time spent dealing with people not worth dealing with.
>Benefitted
Thicker skin, some laughs, interesting ideas, some good conversations even if a bunch of stuff on this site is slop.
It's not perfect but overall I like it.
>>
I don't know man
>>
I think 4chan helped me understand a lot of things actually
>>
>>34513958
i have it hard to believe that 4chan can stunt you socially, there is no one to deal with here, everyone feels like a bot or a hyper autist
>>
>>34513968
>everyone feels like a bot or a hyper autist
That's why interacting on here and not IRL can erode your social skills. Mine are fine but they could be better if I used them more. If someone only spent their time here and tried to go outside with no IRL experience they would be fucked is what I am trying to say.

i have a friend who uses 4chan who once made a joke about my little cousin, he thinks pedophilia is funny, he is also a retarded faggot who watches watamote and is obsessed with femboys, hes no longer my friend, we had common interests but his attitude is just insufferable even though i know he cant hurt a fly, i had to cut all ties with him
>>
>>34513948
It's just a waste of time. All the time you spend here could be used much more productively. If you are in a depressed antisocial state and you spend a lot of time here. Years can fly by and it was all a waste. I'd estimate I gave up a good 4-5 years of my life just being a lurker. I don't come here as much anymore. But I really feel those lost years.
>>
>>34513948
Benefited me, because the people here are nicer on average than irl, and more importantly, people aren't so fake here, so I don't get completely mindfucked like I do by the constant gaslighting and manipulation by normies.
>>
>>34513948
why isnt grifter in OP?

anyways, 4chan is alot like the whole internet. It is a place that can exacerbate excesses. For those who can set boundaries, its largely harmless as anything else online.

For anyone who can't, it risks a descent into some of the worst kinds of antisocial mind poisons you can self ingest.

Benefit in that fren and nice image/webm
Harm in that sometimes i see things i didn't want to see
>>
>>34513948
>did 4chan haram or halal you in some form, and how?
4chin is just an enabler, never to blame. Only lazy people blame websites for their issues. Like the classic
>muh doomscrolling when I could do something productive
they would just watch tv instead, or read comics. It's a way to talk to likeminded people, it's a tool. If you use it in a dumb way, like get groomed by /pol/ fags, then it's your fault and you might be underage too.

Internet in general did irreparable damage to me.

the image/webm stuff are usually cartoon porn

>>34513948
Some years ago, in a moment of weakness, I made the mistake of coming on here to ask if anyone had any advice about coping when a family member has late-stage cancer. The fact that no one responded with anything other than vicious, savage abuse didn't improve my mood any. Lesson learned.
>>
>>34515515
yeah the site is a mess full of social outcasts, this might very well be my last thread, slavic people were the most retarded

>harm
No it didn't harm me at all, coming here I've realized 4chan is more than what the mainstream media presents it to be. I don't go on the usual boards like /b/ /pol/ or /r9k/, as long as you stay away from those boards then you should be fine.
>benefit
Yes I've found it beneficial to be here. Although I don't spend all my leisure on here, when I do spend time here I've gotten exposed to many diverse perspectives particularly on here, /fit/ /his/ & /mu/. It was good coming out of my comfort zone & realizing 4chan isn't what the media makes it out to be.

People on here are generally more friendlier than people in real life from my experience.

It's been an outlet. I don't have intellectual peers around me, and it's difficult to relate to people that are orders of magnitude less intelligent. Those are just exhausting social performances in which I have to pretend to be something that I'm not to even participate, not mutually beneficial relationships. The Internet has always been my reprieve, but that's less and less reliable. As negrofication, feminization, and thirdworldification ruined the Internet at large, I turned to 4chan. Now, it has all of the same problems, and it's irony poisoning has spread like wildfire to everywhere else. I'm growing less tolerant of and patient with it all, and of average people in general. This was always a stop gap measure. I knew that. I was only buying time in which I didn't feel quite so alone. It's been a distraction from reality for me, as it has for others in other ways. Now it only reinforces it. In that way, I'm not sure it was ever a benefit, but I will say some part of me is grateful.
>>
Bruh I come here to satisfy my ego every month to see scum of this earth complaining why Jeets are ruining their country or how jews, black people are taking their women.
Basically I love people coping with their inability to action and start racist posting while I get money from their country and transfer all that to stocks back home. Dumb cunts ahahahhahaaha
I love 4chan for that, it helps me look down on these sons of cunts.
>>
>>34513948
>Harmed
idk i just lurk here a lot and come back when I feel a strange sense of melancholy, I do not truly belong here.

>Benefitted
/adv/ is fun to read, I get to see different (sometimes strangley fucked up) points of view and that thickens the skin and /vr/ has recommended me some baller vidya.

>black people are taking their women
White women are still the least to have an interracial relationships, and the least likely partners are black.

>cope
Isn't that what you're doing right now? Not all money in the world will change who you are. It's funny, because mostly what /pol/ says about Indians gloating and then begging to be accepted is true. Not all money in the world will change the fact you're Indian...
>>
>>34515941
>fucking their girls
The only thing you fuck are goats.
>>
>>34515941
>you think autists on here are smart? lol
I didn't say that. /adv/ in particular is one of the least intelligent boards. I have had interesting conversations on others. Not commonly, but more commonly than I have the opportunity to in real life.
>>
>>34515951
Ohh damn that copedex thing is pretty neat. Please add a "H" for Hate.
Very first thing that I can be classified as is me making personas to spread hate against Indians by being Indian myself so there's a violent movement against Indians in USA like the one in Australia so they all come back here. This way I can see people either taking sides of indians or being against them like in texas and actually fighting within themselves for indians.
There was a case in our university here were some indian dude was microwaving his food and accidentally stank up the library, well he apologized but I microwaved some indian food the next few days on purpose to increase the hate and just to spite the librarian also I was a little pissed. Word spread and there were these guys who were like "Yeah dont worry those guys are just racist, this is america its for everyone" and then there were these guys who passive aggressively(Deep breath, stanky look eye contact and everything) went away the moment the smell stank up the library. Some muslim dude started fighting the other indians saying they cant microwave food in the library when it was me ahahahhahahah. Anyways I was a psychology student there and I loved messing with people. Maybe I invented some sort of new copedex catagory. It is cope definetly(my way to handle my hateful emotions when I encounter racism). I just wanted to see americans fight other americans for absolutely non sensical reasons like me being indian (A foreigner who is here to get their jobs).
Anyways I am quite grateful to you all, keep hating. I have so many instances to tell. I did this in france with some chinese coworkers too in a different context.
Though I have thought to make people commit crimes by amplifying their hate for indians but I am scared I will maybe get hurt since I have to be ultra careful. I will see how I can execute, maybe when I officially become a practicing psychologist.
Feels incredibly good to let all this out as annon.
>>
>>34515951
I don't know really. I know a couple dozen Indians who are so extremely Indian yet they hate India and prefer to get the Canadian passport here but when anyone speaks against India besides themselves they get so angry. I don't know wtf is wrong with them.
Is this cope or just retardness? They love being Indian outside India and actively hate India but get incredibly defensive the moment I hate india. Bruh.
>>
>>34513948
> Harm
Wastes my time a lot but at least its fun. At first I got pretty fucking mad when someone was racist against me but now I direct my hate by trolling suicidal or abuse victim freaks here so in a way 4chan really did mess my brain up.

> Benefit
Makes me feel good seeing so many rejects here are on the verge of killing themselves, at least they are freeing up resources.
>>
>>34516049
you sound like a reject to me too ngl

>>34515941
>يمكن عشاني عربي؟
ايه الفرق؟

>>34516092
Yeah desu I read it back. Sounds like a reject myself oh shit ahahahhaha.
"Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you" ― Friedrich W. Nietzsche
4chan though really thickened my skin and I really fucking hate hard like no other man can sometimes.
I tracked this guy down the otherday and started making posts on 4chan with his profile picture here while coming up with all sorts of dumb stuff and people were hating on him so hard. People use his picture now across threads, its so funny to me.
There you have it 4chan fucked me so much.

>>34518268
Yeah well letting myself loose here is the reason I have such control over my impulsiveness in real life. Otherwise I would have committed something grave a long time ago.
>>
>>34513948
It helped me articulate better IRL. Some of you fuckers speak with some rather delightful prose.
