>>20539398>i know we like to say you can never leave, but are we really giving the harmfulness of this actual addiction proper consideration?In what way is pseudosocializing harmful or an addiction? Are you neglecting actual friendships for the sake of shitposting? Does your gf lie in bed unsated and disappointed as you sweat over the newest vtuber drama? If you want to leave, you need to actually replace this stuff with something real.
>a realization that my desire to be a better, more mindful, and more fulfilled person is intrinsically incompatible with this shit. How so? Even now you're mindfully questioning yourself and working toward your goals. You are right now making solid work toward those ends, which is what matters most. You're unlikely to ever reach your ideals truly, but with constant striving you will improve always.
