I'm really addicted to this website but the defeatist crab mentality has been getting to me lately. How do I move on with life without coming here? I don't have anything going on in my life though. No goals, passions, friends or lovers.

How old are you? If you're still in school just try your hardest to make friends with other quiet kids, hang out with them, and yeah. If that's too hard, then make friends online, preferably nearby you, so that you guys can meetup and hangout irl.

This wonderful site will be gone by 2040, whatever you've seen should not affect your mentality or morality because half of these krabby panties are losers who are afraid of other people they don't even have a name to the face, the other half is trolling.

There will be people more successful than you, with hotter wives and what not, but you shouldn't feel inadequate, anon. Whenever you feel the crab mentality just think real hard about it, and weather it's logical or not.

If that doesn't work then try finding another way to defeat the defeatist.

Personal info that may be relevant
>23-year-old NEET raised by providing parents who were awful at 'parenting'
>No real hobbies or passions thanks to crippling perfectionism, fear of failure, and a complete lack of autonomy growing up
>Spent most of my life on autopilot, unintentionally becoming as forgettable and avoidant as possible (probably a coping mechanism from childhood)
>Which led to an even greater lack of meaningful experiences and relationships, stunting my growth as a person
>Been prone to every form of escapism since I was a kid: food, porn, anime, manga, games, you name it
>Every attempt at self-improvement eventually fizzles out, and I don't really know why. Maybe it's the crushing loneliness, low self-esteem, lack of direction, or some combination of all of them
>I do like exercising, though. Or just physically pushing myself in general.
It's one of the few times I don't feel completely pathetic or ineffective.
Makes me feel like I'm actually 'in control', if that makes sense.
Runner's high is genuinely amazing.
>Got fired a few months ago and haven't had the motivation to look for another job since.
>No social life either. Had to move 12 times growing up, so I never really had the chance to put down roots or keep long-term friendships.

4chan is loser central but it's also a matter of perspective. Depending on the board and the anon you're talking to, you'll meet perfectly well adjusted people. You're just unlikely to meet them on a lot of mainstream boards including /adv/. You can also never know who's larping, a bot, or a woman (or an actual nigger for that matter).
>>
>>34681606
What boards do you frequent OP?

>make friends with other quiet kids

Fuck that
I befriended the sports chads instead, the quiet kids were indeed as gay and boring as assumed on first glance.

Case in point

t. chatGPT larping as a niggerwoman

4chan is a perfect representation of humanity

4chan is fun because like real life you can put on any face
You can say you’re a mentally ill loner or a gigachad man
You can say you’re a cuck or chud
You can say you’re anon or fren
You can you say you’re a schizo of /x/
It’s fun
>>
Quiet kids
Sports kids
Schizo anons
Just like real life 4chan has them all. It’s quite fun game
>>
4chan users just like real life people are my play things
>>
Hi op, if u wanna talk to someone we can chat. I like that youre aware of yourself and know what shaped u into what u were… im 19 yo female if it matters. Im a bit awkward but i relate to lotta stuff u said :)
>>
You can also completely disagree. It’s up to all of us.
>>
I’m not OP. I’m anon
>>
One moment an anon is talking about having 3 kids with a woman he hates another anon is talking about his ADHD another anon is celebrating his sports victory. All humans act the same. I am the most racist human in a way because I see the lines
>>
>>34681606
>defeatist crab mentality
Stop coping. You are stuck here and a loser because you're genetic trash. Not because of some made up crab nonsense.
>>
4chan has plenty of goals, passions, friends, and lovers

don't blame us for your inertia

something i used to do as a strapping young lad is pick a hobby board and dive into the culture, you'll naturally get swept up into a hobby

why don't you try getting addicted to /fit/
that's what i did in college

i don't recommend 5/3/1 deadlifts though i have permanent back problems now

they will tell you it's safe and important for strength training and how it's the most involved compound lift for stimulating overall muscle growth but don't listen, you really don't want to be a hurt back nigga
>>
It’s all a show. Entertain me while I use you and you can disagree
>>
>>34682292
>>34682294
See that is what I’m talking about. That’s why I come to 4chan and just why I play the game of life. You can do whatever you want good or bad. It doesn’t matter and it does matter. That’s we check bias numbers. It’s why you come here.

It’s fun

My favorite thing I have ever read on 4chan was the NEET vs Wagie Vs Mad Dreamer argument. Each of the three suffers and tries to gain what the other has

Hahahahah
>>
The normie wishes to be normal and the normal wishes to be the normie. 4chan is that without the effort and curse of Adam
>>
I’m just telling the truth
>>
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. Quite a line
>>
>>34682302
Do you have a link anywhere?
>>
The world is an asylum of 8 billion people and I intend to get whatever I want from them before I turn 100 and it’s game over
>>
Just like HxH and Micheal Jackson. The thrill of living. Pushing God and reality to its limits. All just roles
>>
>>34682313
I asked ChatGPT and got this:
NEET: "I have unlimited free time. I don't answer to a boss. I can pursue my interests."
Wagie (wagecuck): "I earn my own money, have independence, and don't rely on others."
Mad dreamer / artist / inventor: "You're both wasting your lives—I have an ambitious project that will eventually pay off."
Also apparently it's an r9K thing I'll take a look in the archives.
Did not find anything in the archives desu
>>
been here since 2006 (at age 11). filter out the buzzwords and slurs and it's tolerable.
>>
I'm not reading this whole thread but do you live near Vancouver? Want to hang out?
>>
>>34682391
neet freetime is worthless, though. you just stay at your house. you don't have money to go out
