>>47867330I left this place almost 2 years ago now. This thread is actually the first time I've been back in a while. It's quite possible you're using the thread as a distraction like I did. See
https://files.catbox.moe/oxzsi5.pngI considered the people in this thread my friends, but they're not. They are strangers that you can't build a strong bond with.
At this point, I wouldn't say I have attained happiness, but I've learned a lot more about this world by not constantly using forms of escapism such as 4chan, YouTube, and videogames. I read more, I go outside more, I talk to people more, I think more instead of consooming just to numb my misery. Life is a constant cycle of pain and pleasure, and sometimes you have to embrace pain for greater moments of pleasure. Otherwise you end up in a hedonistic world where you constantly try to find the next dopamine hit to numb yourself.
