I'm a friendless incel and the Internet is the only way for me to cope with being alone 24/7. It's my dose of socialization. I once tried being truly alone with no Internet but it felt horrible.
introverted hobbies and jeetussy
>>24832632Internet is like a (mild, but persistent) drug, I think it's the blue light, honestly. Like a drug that society demands you take. Best to taper off with epubs, offline games, etc, and just load up on fun things to do offline to distract yourself. Thing is, modern life is still sorta built around having a phone, having Google maps, having access to email. Etc. BucksSee:Chapter 7 of The Shallows by N CarrCame out in 2011...and sunk like a stone
Without internet your brain would force you to eventually get out and talk to people or something. You felt horrible because you have an addiction to cheap dopamine shots, like most people nowadays. It's literally your brain torturing you to have its fix, while your life slips away
>>24832634Sucks
>>24832632You were being introverted around other people. You still had friends but you were the quiet one in the group.
>>24832632You had no choice. It was. And that’s it. Maybe, we’ve become weak?
>>24832634Gay. And I’m a drug addict… true friends hang around; maybe you didn’t have them to begin with? Much more depressing I know, but here we are… honestly, it’s up to (you) to make your life great. Blame no one but yourself if it didn’t go your way.
>>24832632Played games and read books
>>24832632It was harder and you just lived with it. You could goto the library, take out books and rent videos. You could go for walks, day or night. Despite the lack of connection, the world was more real and magical.
>>24832632Everyone had the internet in the 90s and 00s you third world shit stain and before that we used BBS
>>24832632single player video gamesIt was fucking greatEvery generation had some form of escapism
>>24832642stfu nigger, in 90s it was rare as fuck even in western world, maybe super late 1990s2000s were fine but normies that are 95% of population werent there
>>24832644Another irrelevant third world shit stain
540761894Idiots like this dickhead make it easier to go without the internet though. But then again, dickheads like him at everywhere in society. You know, offline/AFK.I just got out of jail for assault with a deadly weapon and let me tell you the people in jail are the stupidest motherfuckers you have ever met. I had no idea dumbfucks like that existed in such numbers. 99.99% loved cable television and were googlyeyed and in love with modern movies and sports ball. Etc. So, it goes both ways. Good luck, OP.Normies are shit, always have been. Fucking socials.
I sometimes wonder this. Probably just watch TV all the time.
>>24832646We're all normies in the eyes of the global elite.
>>24832646lol. You sound like a bitter faggot. Maybe you’re the problem?
>>24832647It's that simple
Hobbies. Every loner I knew was into shit like ham radio, fishing, reading, something like that.
>>24832635>Without internet your brain would force you to eventually get out and talk to peopleNo, hermits have historically just taken up gardening and/or animal husbandry, not talking to people..
>>24832632>90s/00s without internetwhat shithole are you even from memeflaggot? bangladesh?and the answer is they did have frens, unlike (You). they had their buddies they played DnD with, or ppl theyd run into at the comic shopyoure just an even bigger loser than any of the losers from 30yrs ago
>>24832632I was an isolated homeschooled child during the 90s. my parents lived deep in the countryside and I pretty much had nobody. they didn't even let us have tv.I spent a ton of time just building lego or playing single player videogames. looking back it was pretty fucked up what my parents did to us.I had the internet back then but it was dial up and we could only use it a little bit from time to time. I browsed forums all the time I could.eventually in the early 00s we moved to some suburbs and also got dsl. I was a total loser at school because I was so out of touch with how to act. spent all my time on the internet or playing wow. eventually dropped out of school. had to do an exam to go to university then spent university as a shutin incel loser.end of the story is me becoming a bitcoin millionaire and now I spend my time as a shutin loser, but rich.
>>24832650Michael Larson was an autistic NEET who robbed CBS blind on national television.
>>24832654during the homeschooled period my mother decided it was too boring being at home teaching us so she would go work and she just left us with a bunch of books to figure out how to teach ourselves. no religious reason or anything, they just said "they wanted to be together as a family" even though 80% of the time it was just us left alone at home. idk what the fuck they were thinking. they talk about how great they were as parents too. I'm too rich to care now though, desu I never even thought about it until I saw this thread.we did live in a huge beautiful countryside estate though. we actually had a billionaire neighbor down the road.
>>24832654Nah. That’s on you, not your parents. You can blame them for some things, but not that. You chose. And this coming from someone that was massively introverted. Guess that’s the difference with nz and us.
>>24832656Some things you can only learn by being alone… it’s too easy to blame other people for your shortfalls. Maybe introspection is in order?
>>24832632nigga get out in the real world.
>>24832632You could socialize with strangers pretty easy before... People are just neurotic now.
>>24832632There were probably far less loners during those times is my guess>ok but howTv and books, idk
>>24832632singleplayer videogames , books , magic the gathering , lans , inetcafes (when your parents refused to get it for abritary reasons) etc.broaden your horizon and stop dwelling on the past , the future is now , old man!t.37year old
>>24832632We read books and learned to play instruments.
>>24832632You just had to go make friends. And also Chad and Stacy would get super bored of hanging out in their little retard bubble irl so they tended to also diversify their friend groups more with a few nerdy losers sprinkled in.
>>24832663>We read books and learned to play instruments.We also had schools that were not Thunderdomes run by psychotic faggots. There was a time where school was your social circle. You could also go outside in perfect safety, so spending time in town and riding home on a bicycle could be done without fear of death or arrest.
>>24832632We had no such thing as voluntary shut ins, we had involuntary shut ins whose parents were super strict and wouldn't let them out often.
>>2483264598% jabbed fag thinks gaslight works on everyone
the loners survived by playing TCG and other table top games with other nerds at the local game store
>>24832632Books, music, games, exercise/training, competition, etc. There are many things to do. But I'm not sure if it is different for people who don't like intensity. Maybe they need to be social for this reason.
>>24832645your vaxed horseshit visualized
>>24832635this didnt happened to me when i had no access to internet

>>24832632They were forced outside. Internet is a gateway to behavior thought impossible a few decades ago. Most of the degeneracy of the current world is supposed thanks to the internet. 200 hundred years ago, a furry had family and took longer walks in the woods than normal, came back home and lived a normal life. Today they get encouraged on discord, buy a fur suit online delivered at home and become degenerates.
>>24832635The internet makes being alone easier, but there were always hermits who had no interest in socialization.
>>24832632I got "online" for the first time in 1983. BBSes were local and we had meet ups for picnics and stuff like that a couple of times each year. Depending on where you lived, there sometimes were local BBSes that could sent and receive internet email but typically they only did one mail run per day and it might take up to a week for an email to wind its way through the network due to other nodes also doing just one check per day.
>>24832632True loners didn't really care so much about being social.Hence wether or not there was an outcast element to it loners found activities easily on their own.
>>24832657aussie flags in this thread and as of late are completely fuckin retarded faggots
>>24832632I hiked. Fished. Did urban exploration. Went to museums. Read books. In general lived a far healthier life, actually. Ironic that now I'm married and when we're not working, we just lurk online with my wife, and kids would be at their phones 24/7 if they could choose. The irony is that I miss the 90s, when I was an incel with no life.
>>24832677>aussieFitting… but I won’t just ad Hom. It’s easy to blame anything else but your own actions. Maybe, if you critique who you are and what you do, things will get better. Or not. No harm in trying. What’s the alternative?
>>24832632you dont realize how long it takes to run errands and shit. Completely remove delivery from your life of the amazon and uber variety and youre running around a few days a week. Much easier to sit and be a slob on days off
>>24832633im hunting for jeetussy this weekend. any tips or advice? gonna spend tomorrow at the lake with some friends.
>>24832632far less brainroti would just watch tv or play vidyainternet was still kinda new and was phased in late into my cycle at which point i just played counterstrik source 24/7i hate the current gen, just mindlessly scrolling instagramm suck my soul out i notice how disconent i am most of the time. it wasnt that bad even at peak of my depression. COmpletely demonic. I didnt need to socialize so much either, now i feel like a cunt always forming opinions and sharing them here, for what purpose. Literally losing braincells
>>24832632Books
>>24832682infact, i will turn off my pc right now and watch youtube on my phone the entire day, fuck this
>>24832632>I'm a friendless incel and the Internet is the only way for me to cope with being alone 24/7Have you tried slathering yourself up with jelly to attract flies?
Books and boob tube. Plus a number of hobbies. Get off the internet and go find something else to do.
They had a small group of real life friends who they did shit with.Zoomers are soo fucked in the head that they can't even conceive of having any kind of social contact without tech facilitating it.
>>24832678White poeple need adventure exploration and exploration. Pajeets only need food and sex.
>>24832632Anybody here remember the good times? (70's and 80's)>No security cameras>No cellphones>Ultima on your Apple ][+ or Atari>Could say whatever you wanted and not be sanctioned/cancelled>Compliment a girl on her tits and she would blush and say thank you!>Guaranteed jobs straight out of high-school>Faggots beaten regularly>Secret porn stashes in the woods>Male teachers as role models>Cities not overrun by minorities>No helmets or any protective gear>Zero fear of germs>Real language with little euphemism>Exchanged letters with girls at school. Girls would even mail you letters.>Pictures actually meant something because you had to pay to get them processed>Friends were actual friends and had your back>Moms still knew how to cook>Smoking at school>Almost everyone got in fights at school. Right of passage.>Girls dressed up and did their hair even to goto 7-11>Porn was the Sears Catalog>All night skating at the rink. Dropped off at 6 pm on Friday. Picked up at 3 pm on Saturday.
>>24832632From what I can guess, some of them went for pussy as hard as they could because it's the best organic entertainment one can get in this hellscape and the rest just slowly died in misery.
>>24832632Internet is probably a couse of your predicament. Makes poeple less social in real life. In past you could have no friends and talk to random strangers and meet friends eventually. With internet everyone is boring antisocial and non receptive. Women too. I could strike up a conversation only with older women. Young ones lack conversation skills.You can be apolon and walk up to ugly fattie and chances are she will get nervos and reject you.
>>24832689Im mid 80s so no, I don’t know that. Sounds comfy tho
>>24832690>organic entertainmentUnderrated. You’re likely onto something there.
>>24832638i feel like people in the day wouldve also invited the loner occasionallywe watched out for each other, your local peer group was way more important
>>24832632>How did loners survive in the 90s/2000s without the Internet?we had sex (even the loners had sex), great movies, great food and great vidya. Also outdoor activities were still affordable
>>24832674>no interest in socializationThese are just non chads
>>24832691Internet provided people with unrealistic expectations. Still, it’s up to individuals to not allow that shit get to you/them. It’s way too easy to be a victim and get paid for it; bunch of fucking faghots as far as I can tell. Cowards of the highest order.
>>24832639>Blame no one but yourself if it didn’t go your way.sometimes it's the fault of other people though?
>>24832632Get used to it. All of the greatests minds that ever existed agrees on one thing: real creativity and innovation can only bloom when you are completly alone. That's when your brain decides if it will use it's free time to think about real relevant things or if it will dwell in depression.
>>24832689All of this plus woodlands without tweekers and roving nigs. Bicycles and country roads, science kits and libraries. Good times.
>>24832681if you're white you don't need to do anything, just talk to any brown or yellow woman and don't be a total sperg and you'll fuck her on the first day
>>24832632My uncle was one of these types of guys and from what other family members tell me, he used to just smoke pot and listen to music. I believe he used to play arcade games too. He's been a NEET his entire life (my aunt has supported him since he was 23 years old)
>>24832691I think the internet has shown us virtually every life that's possible to live. And so when you see some random person in public, your mind automatically calculates their entire life and assumes they probably wouldnt be interesting at all to talk to. It's no longer possible to mesmerize anyone these days, or inspire curiosity about "who is that person? let me go find out".The only thing people are fixated on now is 16-21 year olds, the rich, and the very attractive (and you kinda need to be all three nowadays to be worth anything to the masses). Everyone else is just uninteresting wasteAnd sure, eventually people settle for their loyalties (wives, boring friends, etc), but they always watch and privately seethe they cant live the lives of the beautiful ones
>>24832699Is that you? You look zesty.
>>24832632you had to pick up some introvert real life hobby to pass time, eventually lead you to make some friends with similar fags. I had access to internet since 2004, and you played COD, contacted on MSM, as I remember facebook became mainstream in 2010, then things went fucking downhill quickly
>>24832695>we had sexkek.When high-school girlfriend comes to your house for saturday lunch and visit. Go for a walk, tell family "We are going to walk the fenceline and spend some time at the duck-pond".Dad looks up, knows that is code for 'We are going to the pond and will be fucking until sundown'. Dad says "Swing by the shed and let me know if I have to mow or clear the woodline".Which was code for "If you spend the night outside sleep in the loft so I know where you guys are".Never recognize a Golden Age for what it is, until it's over.
>>24832704No, that's Gohan from Dragon Ball.
Video games were so much better before the internet. Playing Perfect Dark splitscreen with the boys was the peak of multiplayer.
>>24832701>don't be a total spergits over
>>24832632I had lots of friends then fell out with them as all the girls ignored me or I didn't gel with any of themEnded up moving around a lot then moved overseas I couldn't stand aussies
>>24832632Girlfriends. Books. Music, including singing in bands. Long walks, 10-20miles in a day sometimes. Long annoying phone calls. Drinking.
>>24832707Since you are appearently doing some pattern recognition features based upon your own observations on how people looks and crossing data in your brain to find a pattern marcha, I would like you to see this picture.Any resemblance is mere coincidence.
>>24832699Nobody cares about creativity or innovation from an oldcel like your pic tho. The only thing that matters in life is youth. Theres nothing to live for after 30
>>24832632In the late 90s I played n64 and my Casio keyboard a lot. Also had drawing/art to do, DBZ hadn't even left the SS1 arc, so it was powerful inspiration for many.
>>24832632Turbo hobbyism. Radio, electronics, programming hobbies. Tabletop game clubs, hobby journals, conventions, sci-fi fandoms, LOTS of books and comics, music bands with fellow incels etc etc. Think White and Nerdy song but in real life.
>>24832632Things were good. People were good. You could walk around. You could go to the Mac Donald’s. You could go to the Wendy’s. You could go to the arcade. You could go to the comic book shop. Things were good. God Bless You.
>>24832644Dude everyone had the internet by the late 90s. We are luddites and had it in 94
>>24832713Sure, let me stitch a little piece of information to you that you might have missed: The genes are dilutated in a way that you might be able to find two people completly unrelated in parts of the world that Soares common ancestry and matching them gives you the probability of getting an almost identitical genetic pattern as someone else.Search it up: why there are people with the same appearence as someone else in the world but it is completly unrelated?Genes expression and peas.
>>24832715>music bands with fellow incelsOh yeah I had a couple bands too. This was before bandcamp and soundvloud, so you had to pay for time in an actual studio to record and produce a master, then burn all your EPs, print and cut your own labels and stickers, then give them all away at shows performed by bigger bands kek
>>24832632They had the internet. Early internet was mainly used by shut in nerds. Now what did they do in the 80’s?
>>24832657>Our parents lived in a very rural area so I had no one around me>That's on you
>>24832632you went out and socialized face to face. even if it was just at the periphery of a group you were at least there.
>>24832639Maintaining friendships takes work. Send that text. What are you afraid of?
>>24832642there was still a big difference between the internet before and after phones. OP is probably talking about internet after smartphones. Which is objectively worse in every way/
>>24832721>>and this is coming from someone tbat was massively introvertedHe's just projecting
>>24832632We always had nature and the outdoors, i spent my youf in the mountains exploring and camping with my mates. Our games were were more physical, hunting each other with air rifles fireing berries and the odd sneaky slug, for effect.
>>24832632Made up a poop gameWould walk around putting poop sculptures in random places with cardboard and toothpicks. Seeing people laugh when they’d see jt was hilarious. Those were the 90s.
>>24832696Yeah, there is no reason to go out if you aren't a Chad, unless you managed to make an interesting fun group to fuck around with but usually you only run into people like that online far away from where you live.
I guess society social issues aren't political according to /pol/ mods.
