Im so scared of my cognitive decline. Isolation and addiciton have had major effects on my cognitive abilities. I was already pretty scatterbrained my whole life, maybe undiagnosed adhd. But being mute and not interacting with people for year after year has altered my mind so much. I eat well, I exercise (which makes me feel good for the day) and try to regulate my technology use but it feels so futile when youre all alone with no social routine. I think I will join a hobby club just to be around people and force myself to talk.
>>84780774fleeyou will not find connection here
>>84780774i've got an idea. begin learning japanese. if there isn't any other immense mental undertaking you need, learning japanese is a TON of fun, and it's very rewarding once you're good enough to talk a little bit with people online. Then, play vrchat and join the english/jp language exchange world and talk to people there. it's very nice, and certainly will unretard you, to some degree.
>>84780785tried multiple times already, when my life is shit i return. i have to create a life worth living and then not coming here will happen automatically. if im not here to distract myself from my shitty life i instead binge watch porn or youtube, it's not really better. this place is hell though, no doubt.
>>84780817fuck you man respond to the one i said, the one i said was way cooler
