As it turns out, the majority of folks are just people trying to get by, and if you're nice enough to them, they'll be nice enough to you.

The problem with most terminally online people is that their social lives ended when they left school, which is when the population of arseholes is at its highest. Everybody is trying to impress everybody else, even at the cost of others.

But a lot of those same people tend to chill off as they mature into adults and become less self-centred. There are still absolutely arsehole adults, but nowhere near as many as the terminally online expect there to be.

When real life does not match up with the description given by social rejects on a site notorious for infidelity

⛺️🔥 Rest here traveller. Reading the comments in this thread can get tiring.

Using high school as a marker for what to expect for the rest of life is such a terrible idea. Just throw that in the rubbish and go experience people for yourself. Wade through the assholes and you’ll find tons of nice folks just trying to live.

When you're terminally online, it helps to be at least reminded that online culture isn't normal, especially not 4chan. But Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are all full of their own weirdness.

Better than recognizing that would be to reintegrate into society fully and leave the internet mostly behind to sulk and moan.

That’s so sad. Like I get it, I’ve been the internet shut in and it’s just brutal on your mental health. The blunt reality is that most people are fine and plenty are great. Talk to strangers, you might make friends

They also don't complain about wokeness and people complaining about wokeness

Most people like being around other people who are chill and respectful. There's no magic trickery about it. Get outside and talk to people.

god that's really depressing

The consequences of being terminally online.

This is what rehabilitation feels like

I tried community college first online and then in person at 19/20. Felt so anxious about everything. Mom drove me there and back and was really mean about having to do it. Classes of normies were uber-social, like everybody introduce yourselves and talk aboit the topic. Felt fuck me eyes coming from everyone, which I was probanly returning, but it was a LOT of attention for my loner self. I stopped going and Mom resented me because it cost thousands for like nothing but she didnt want to do it my way either so it was sort of her fault as well. Anyway it was probanly trans dysphoria too. Of course my every waking moment I was like I wonder if they can tell Im feminine please tell me this will help me be more openly queer. Lol.

congrats anon 💜

It's obviously some kind of trap. Run!

Wtf does the tilt of your eyes (canthal tilt) have to do with anything? Do incels not like eyes now or something?

It's 4chan, of course it's full of lies...

When nobody is a normie... everyone is.

there are still bubbles out there..

a lot of people are shitty self centered POS's.. i think they just happened to be in the right place at the right time
