At least you're getting aware of it. Thinking you'll kill yourself (or transform yourself into better you or w/e) before age X is just a mental shortcut cope that lets you fester in your current state. Far more likely you'll just live a miserable life until you either get your shit together and take control or die of illness or old age.

Keep taking care of yourself or enjoy it while it lasts.
I've lived a life of a sloth throughout most of my days so I can't say I didn't deserve what happened, but good health is a real gift you don't realize the value of until it starts decaying, or, like many things, a problem you may have to deal with.

4chan is mostly people in their 20's and 30's with some even older, despite the fact that most people here probably started browsing when they were underaged b&. Younger people don't find their way to this website anymore, they're all on Instagram, Tiktok, Xitter, or Discord. They also all play shit like Roblox and Fortnite instead of literally anything that would get discussed on /v/.

>>740923463
I made plans to kill myself when I turned 18 during high school. Then I made plans to kill myself when I turned 21 when I could legally buy a handgun to blow my brains out. Then I made plans to kill myself when I was 25... and I'm almost that age and still haven't acted on them a bit. This whole mentality of "I'm just going to kill myself in the future so nothing really matters" has only made my life markedly worse. I guess that's what I get for being a pussy.

I remember when the "forever alone" meme first popped up, I was a 15 years old stupid teenager and thought "woah this is literally me haha" which lead me to avoid trying to talk with girls because I'm forever alone anyway, and I realize now I actually had a lot of opportunities I just didn't bother with. In a way it became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I went through the same thing, trying to fit in too hard with the 4chan crowd when I was an underaged b& ruined me and I should've listened to the warning that this website was for 18+ only all those years ago.

>>740925261
I'd believe it. I have much younger siblings and some nieces and nephews. Most of them stick to one game and are extremely hesitant to try anything new. I bought the kingdom hearts games for one that I'm certain would love them but he wouldn't even try it. When I was that age I would have played anything I could get my hands on, I don't get kids nowadays.

Social media has ruined children's brains from a young age and they will refuse to touch anything that isn't already popular among their peers. So they only play the same few games that all their friends play.

Same. Being here since I was 13 really did a number on my brain in many awful ways. But then again, if I didn't waste my time here, I would've just wasted it on Twitter or Tumblr or whatever the fuck back then and probably would've turned out worse.

why do you think games are all so shit? why are they covering up the women, why do they keep adding 80s shit to games like mortal kombat?

Cause the audience is mostly all middle aged men with wives and kids, and they are embarassed to see a boobie. They think games should be more cerebral and adult.

That's why everything is so shit, cause the market is almost all middle aged men that never grew up.

Next time you watch any game event or goto one, look around at the people there. Look at the lack of teenagers around you. Look at any marketing for nintendo games. it's all millenials. The only kids there re the ones their parents dragged along.

Nintendo / Video games = Disney adults.

Disney adults think they are cool too, they aren't. They are cringe, just like all of us.
>>
>>740926290
And you like to delude yourself into thinking that nonsense.
Of course people around me are going to be around same age as me, I don't hang around with kids. And neither do you. Stop pretending like you know anything about younger people, or what they like now and in the future. You just seem incredibly ignorant and arrogant. The classic old man yells at clouds.

I thought posters here would be between the ages of 18-21

4chan got popular in the late 2000s to early 2010s, and if you subtract ~20 years from the average age of this thread you get a teenager between 14 and 18, which was how old a lot of us were when we started browsing
it's not really a mystery why 4chan trends older. it's hostile to new users, young users, and it's no longer the new hip kid on the block that was making the news every other month for something crazy its users were doing

when you were born 4chan was already 2 or 3 years old

There is no friendship here, but a feeling of "being among," which for sure corresponds to loneliness.

The atmosphere is hard to describe. I used to think it was funny, but the reliable contrarian "nah, it's shit" attitude from everyone is legit exhausting. Like, I can only scroll so much before rolling my eyes and closing the tab. Always the same shit, shitting on everything.
