I've been trying to do that some times ago but I always stumble across something that makes me go back.

This time I'm waiting for this year batsu game to be translated, after that I'm going to try to cut off everything for a couple of weeks so I can get my head right and see if I can make better choices for myself.

The things I noticed the last three days I did this is that you become boring in such a different way that makes you want to pull out your hair, I get it that it's just the dopamines receptors wanting that sweet fast release you gave them with porn/tv/games but goddamn that shit is hard.
As libido start to grow and you can't quite masturbate 10 times a day anymore, you start to get frustrated, angry and irrational.
You begin to think more focused on what you are doing after a while and that's when I stopped.

More or less. I read this book in high school and got rid of my TV and video games then. Changed my life -- allowed me to become well-read and to develop a musical practice. Now I'm 32 and married with a hot, feminine, pregnant wife.

I did it for a few years, I was super happy and productive, but your mind starts playing tricks on you, and you start feeling worried that you'll miss an emergency. Also, I started getting very sensitive to street advertising like billboards and subway ads. All of a sudden it looked really excessive. But other than that it was easily the happiest, most relaxed and most productive I've ever been. I would describe it as feeling happy in the way people used to feel happy 100 years ago.

Also, I would say with anything that is habit forming, it takes at least a few weeks to go through withdraw. I'd say it took about a month and half before I didn't think of it at all, but I was definitely agitated for the first few weeks. It was harder than drugs,but not as hard as sugar, which I find the hardest habit to kick.

I'd do that if I could, but I can't not listen to music and youtube is the best for that

Even merely downloading stuff to put it on my shitty phone would force me to use the computer

I'm autistic (as in literally, diagnosed, non-meme autistic). The no-screen life doesn't help me at all because the internet is basically the equivalent of sign language for me:

>eye contact: not an issue
>body language: not an issue
>needing to interpret tone of voice: not an issue
>sarcasm: more easily forgiven if it goes over your head
>no distracting stimuli such as background noise making it harder to focus on the other people talking

I'm significantly more social online than I ever was offline because my head's actually clear here.

Technology is both a blessing and a curse. As with everything in life, moderation is key. The internet is invaluable and enables one to learn anything they desire. However, sites like this and social media can really distract from living life in the "real" world.

I resent people that preach this kind of shit. Literally before I had Internet access, I'd lay awake all night, regardless of being physically tired, just because my mind had not been entertained. I was more retarded for not having the Internet to learn things being bored aside. If you're the type that the access hurts then you're not the type that should be on the Internet, and you're likely the cancer that is killing it.
