This is thread for constant posters of /adv/, those who are spending

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?
mostly taking, sometimes giving

>Why, what's your story?
crushing hard on a friend these past few weeks, really don't want to mess up with her

>What makes you come back here to keep posting?
read the trashy threads tbqh, but also to keep asking for answers about if i have a chance with her because confirmation bias is nice

>Has this board really affected you?
probably not, i think i got a date with her, but through no work of my own

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?

Giving but when times comes when I'm in need of different point of view on certain problem I ask as well but it is rare tho.

>Why, what's your story?

I just like helping people, and when I help in a way I help my self.

>What makes you come back here to keep posting?

I usually get stuck here when I shut in and take brake from irl people. You know sometimes you just hit low point and need some distraction.

>Has this board really affected you?

Yes it did in positive way.

I'll start with me.

/adv/ helped me getting into relationship with a girl I wanted, femanons really helped me work her out. Then I've stopped posting. Some problems started. I neglected the board, I thought I know best.
Unfortunately girl appeared to be BPD with really fucked up story and it backfired me hard. We broke up.
I came back and /adv/ helped me go through it again, I would always come back when feeling down because of anonymity and sincerity it guarantees.
Then I've noticed that some of my experience might help in some cases of other anons. People had similar problems like me or were just about to have them. So even though I'm fine now, I still look up to take on a problem that I might have some exp on. I feel It helps me as well as anons related, It's kinda addicting at this point. Not sure if it's a good thing, but it's one of better addictions to have.

I come here to shit post and to sometimes vent in relevant threads.

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?
both, sometimes asking when I'm depressed

>Why, what's your story?
I kind of have a philosophical depression. My hobby is writing melancholical stories/novels. /adv also inspires me.

>What makes you come back here to keep posting?
I often think about the sense of life, psychology and morals. When writing most of the time I would just dive into a world full of hatred and problems, what depresses me very much. Then I come to /adv or /r9k and share my thoughts/ask questions.

>Has this board really affected you?
Yes, it has very much influence on what I do and gives me new perspectives to think about.

Both, mostly giving but we all need it sometimes

Not much. College grad looking for work (though I may have just found it). 7 year relationship, life mostly good.

It's a comfy board. Shitposting is a minimum or easily filtered. It's also interesting to see the guys of shit that happens in people's lives. Plus you learn interesting stuff.

In a way. It hasn't changed my life, but has changed my outlook on things a couple of times. I don't take anything on the internet at face value though.

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?

i try to offer advance when i think what i have to say is useful. i sometimes ask for advice when i am uncertain about something.

>Why, what's your story?

i guess i like help people, it makes me feel good.

>What makes you come back here to keep posting?

this is the only anonymous board i know on the internet that sometimes has decent, honest discussions. too many relationship threads here desu.

>Has this board really affected you?

yeah, both positively, and negatively. people sometimes offer good advance that has helped me. the negatives mostly come from the shit poster that say the usual "all women are whores" "get alpha or kill yourself"

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?
Mostly take, but if I find the thread interesting or I feel I can give some input based on my own experiences, I'll stick around and give.

>Why, what's your story?
Ever since high school, I'd been known as a good listener and someone willing to give advice if asked for it. Granted I was more beta about it back then, but I've learned to be more upfront and honest about my advice giving.

>What makes you come back here to keep posting?
I'm 27, yet I realize I can be incredibly insecure and I overthink things.So I come here to vent and get reassurance on my problems. Mostly those involving my crush.

>Has this board really affected you?
In part it can make my own problems feel petty compared to others, but also gives me a sense that I'm not alone in my problems when I see others posting their own similar issues.

(Made an edit to my post)
>Are you taking or giving /adv/?
Both

>Why? What's your story?
Probably have seen me vent a lot in venting threads and letter threads. I started hanging around here a month ago. I'll just sum it up: Abandoned by two friends about a month ago, it still hurts, one came back on Tuesday and left me again Wednesday. (I'm sorry if I annoy anyone with posting). Also for other problems.

>What makes you come back here to keep posting?
Feeling alone, venting, and trying to help others with their problems. I usually listen to people and try to help them with their situations, and this is a place where I can do that.

>Has this board really affected you?
Yes, it's been making me feel better. Also there's a lot of nice and interesting people here that give good advice.

Im obsessed with relationships.

>>17596248
>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?

only ever given advice

Why, what's your story?

I've noticed I seem to have better insight than most people I know, or at least the ability to see things objectively

What makes you come back here to keep posting?

feeling like I'm helping people

Has this board really affected you?

not really, sometimes I hate it here. too many people trying to upset others, too many similar problems.

I just try to ignore all the /dotheylikeme/ threads and help the people with actual questions.

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?
Both
>Why, what's your story?
I have q lot of issues with approaching people and bad anxiety in general, I try to give good quality advice for people who's situations I am familiar with because I know what it's like to be sad and alone and feelings shitty in general, I know it sucks and I don't want anyone to feel that way
What makes you come back here to keep posting?
I like helping anybody I can and I like the anonymity
Has this board really affected you?
It's made me feel not so alone and even though I hate that people have some of the same problems I have/had it comforts me knowing I'm not the only person tackling this difficulties in my life

Asking and answering questions here is the closest thing I have to friendship where I care about people and they care about me too.

Mostly giving, but /adv/ gave me some great advice when I was at my lowest.

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?
Giving, but I use the vent threads to "take".
>Why, what's your story?
I'm in a relationship and a NEET so I have experience and time on my hands.
>What makes you come back here to keep posting?
This board moves faster than the others I usually frequent so I come here when things get slow.
>Has this board really affected you?
Kind of? I appreciate the NEET threads since I'm pretty depressed about my current situation. But I can see how it might be better than others so I try to give advice elsewhere.

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?
I give more advice than I ask for. Rarely when I do ask, it's about something I don't think I can figure out myself. Otherwise, I like to vent in some of the "get it off your chest" threads.
>Why, what's your story?
I'm lonely, and I do my best to help others with whatever wisdom I picked up over the last few years. Mostly "don't give up" stuff
>What makes you come back here to keep posting?
I like to think that something I say will stick with somebody, and that it might influence them. Maybe not for a long time, and I'd never know, but I'm just trying to do my little part to help people.
>Has this board really affected you?
Not whatsoever. I've never actually gotten advice from this place.

>Are you the one taking or giving /adv/?
This isn't my main board, but I come here a few times a year and request advice once or twice, then I'll end up hanging around for a week giving some.
>Why, what's your story?
Usually it's advice on things I've never done before, often to do with women. Luckily I don't usually make the same mistake twice.
>What makes you come back here to keep posting?
I feel like if I ask for advice I should give some, and I'm confident I give good advice about things I've done before.
>Has this board really affected you?
Every time it makes me feel like my problems aren't that much in comparison to 90% of you, and it makes me feel smart because I usually am met with agreement.
