I really need help. I have become so paranoid in my day to day life that I can't function anymore. I've been going on /pol/ for about 2 years, and it has totally fucked my mind. I'm constantly scared of economic collapse, shit that Varg talks about, if i'm a good or "non degenerate" person, etc etc. It has gotten to a point where I'm in fear all times of the day. I look to /pol/ and right wing forums to see if what i'm doing with my life is ok and right wing approved. I suppress it with things like music, weight lifting, hanging out with friends. I feel myself going deeper down the rabbit hole each time I do something that makes me happy. Is there anyway I could regain myself back? Be able to do things I like doing instead of needing approval from others?

don't go to /pol/ dumbass. Work on yourself and stop going to shit forums if you have such a weakass mind lol

Heh /pol/ is a good board with valuable information in small doses. Too much of it and you'll find yourself damaged, as a non white /pol/ has fubar'ed me.
Stop going to /pol/
Simple.

> I keep smashing my dick with a hammer and it hurts but I'm afraid I'm not a good person unless I smash my dick with a hammer. How do I make the pain stop, /adv/?
This is you right now.

>identify what you care about and why you care about it
>set your goals accordingly
>be specific in these endeavours
>preparedness and sureness in oneself and one's abilities gibs courage in the face of fear
set your own expectations for yourself and your life. then start living up to them. balance these:
>accepting input from others is vital. taking more into consideration than just yourself is vital.
>you are the only one who can live your life, thus the reins to it should at all times remain firmly in your hands.

/pol/ is where the scum of society is at. Don't bother taking that shit seriously.

The world either will or will not end tomorrow. The economy either will or will not collapse. A mad bomber either will or will not choose the bus you're on. Little green men from Mars either will or will not arrive and enslave us all.
And there is nothing you can do about any of those things. So why worry about them? Devote your worrying energy to whether you'll pass an exam or find a girlfriend or get a good job - things you DO have some control over.

this. whites are evil incarnate and all white men need to die, feminism is the future, islam is peaceful, black people can't be racist and dindu nuffin anyway, single mothers are best mothers, trans people aren't mentally ill at all, pedophiles are just misunderstood, obesity is beautiful, diversity strengthens local communities, slut shaming is super harmful, porn has no ill effects, guns are an ineffective crime deterrent, catcalling is literally rape, statistics are hate speech, facts are hate speech, numbers don't real, gender is a social construct, the pay gap regardless exists, free speech is a core tenet of fascism, nazis were right wingers, kkk and slavery were right wing, there's definitely not ever a coincidental bunch of clever hook nosed merchants behind anything, the US constitution is a living breathing document, we've always been a nation of immigrants, and communism is totally gonna work this time. i fucking hate /pol/.

Haha lol true dat, fuck h8
Considering /pol/ is made up of a bunch of sexually frustrated, autistic weebs whose points of view on the world are about as accurate as the geocentric model, I think you'd do well to forget anything you "learned" there. That subforum is like an untreated, festering wound that continues to get more and more decayed, bring people who don't have sub-clinical schizophrenia into their fold of bullshit. In other words, you have nothing to worry about.

It's funny because I saw your thread when I literally just came to this board for the first time that I can recall, because I was feeling bummed out by all the negativity in the world after reading a thread on /pol/ of people organizing to take down a children's book author because he was mocking Barron Trump for being traumatized by Kathy Griffin's head stunt.
It's all just too depressing for me, and I can't deal with this much raw hatred floating around.This shouldn't be necessary. We used to be decent people. At least I think we did. Once.

Agree, it's sad how they can feel sympathy for a kid whose father is bombing the middle east to oblivion who didn't even get killed yet celebrate the deaths of thousands of said kids. Because "shitskins"
you really just have to realize that most people, especially the ones who broadcast their ideas the most, are retarded
most ideologies like "right wing = good" are stupid cookie cutter approaches to complex issues
think for yourself and form your own opinions, and by sticking to them people will also respect you more
idk why i even typed all this out this thread was probably bait to begin with
>>18370449
Most of those people are exaggerating or are seriously fucked up isolationist racists. (or are just really fucking funny)
You need to develop your critical thinking skills, seriously. You can't listen to everything people say, you have to do your own research, reach your own conclusions, and decide what those impacts ACTUALLY mean, not just what some douchebag says they mean.
Context and scope are really important too.
