How do I get over a 4chan addiction?
This place has changed the way I speak, think, interact with people, what I enjoy (or more specifically what I don't enjoy), it has worsened my social skills, and has made relationships harder for me
How the fuck do I finally leave this horrible shithole? It's been slowly killing me for 6 years

I used to be a relatively upbeat and humorous extrovert that a lot of people enjoyed because they thought I was witty or friendly or charismatic, I made a lot of friends I enjoyed, I had a relationship, etc
Then I started browsing 4chan and over time I've become more dull, I lost my touch of humor, I lost all of my social skills, I started growing away from friends and now have none, I've gained a growing depression which has slowly taken over all of the hobbies I enjoy, i.e. I've started slacking on weightlifting, I can't find enjoyment in video games anymore and only feel anger/dissapointment in them, I've been sleeping in more and getting tired more easily, etc
I'm an extrovert trapped in the life of a depressed introvert

So I want to finally leave 4chan. It's become my only source of comfortable contact with people, because even my online friends have abandoned me.
But that's the problem. I want to leave but I don't know how or what to do if I manage to leave.

Sounds to me like 4chan is the symptom.
Anyone claiming a website can have such a huge influence on them is lying

Anyway, if wanna leave it just stop typing 4chan.org on the url bar and find something else to do.

Well, 4chan isn't physically addictive, so all that's stopping you from never coming back here again if you think it's that bad for you is your willpower.

The truth is, just about anything is better for your mental and emotional health than spending hours on 4chan a day, and I speak from having been in that hole before. You could do just about anything else and it would make you feel better, even if that means looking at different places online, watching anime, or playing video games.

Everyone wants to think they're an independent island and they're not going to be affected by whatever shit they look at, but if you're already not that emotionally healthy and you spend a lot of time interacting with people on 4chan who are really bitter and cynical and elitist, it can just make you feel even worse.

Blow your brains out with a 50 cal, or just downgrade to 9gag, youll get bored in two days and want to do something productive

It's probably just me having shitty willpower, yeah. I'm thinking of blocking 4chan from being accessed, or having it redirect to something else.

Thanks anyways. I'm just incredibly desperate to find a real solution to my problems that isn't >>18418107

They actually aren't. If you're spending hours upon hours hanging out here and not talking to other people then this website is having an influence on you.

Can't tell you how many threads I've seen like OP's where some guy is remorseful about how much of a recluse they've become thanks to /pol/ and /b/

Sunno been here since 2013 and I am more social now.
Then again I was an edgy depressed teen trolling online before finding this site so dunno, couldnt get much worse.

I struggle with this aswell. For me, it comes down to low self-esteem and indecision. The thing is to break the cycle, you need to take action but because of my low self-esteem, I don't take action so I don't know what to do.
>>
For a period of time, I thought I used my computer to much, so I made a temporary rule that I would only turn it on after 5pm / 17:00.
>>
why are you such a fucking sheep that you can't browse 4chan without filtering advice and blocking out the mentally ill ideology?

>4chan is my only source of contact with people
Oh, there is the answer. Just go the fuck outside then. Whether you use 4chan or not, you'll become acclimated to the real world and not so ridiculous as the people who only socialize on 4chan.

"Everything bad in the world is due to
-Jews
-blacks
-Muslims
-Women
-Leftists
-Muscular men who are happy
-Women who are pretty"

What school-shooter logic. I don't understand how these people function. It's usually not very highly. If they're lucky, they can work with computers.

Have you tried burning your computer and your smart phone?
It may help.
Or you could just find something better to do, then later when you get that urge, find something else better to do, then repeat process.

>>18418349
>burn your phone and your computer
that's literally the worst advice I've ever heard on /ad/. how is he supposed to do anything in today's world without a phone and a computer? he'll just end up needing to buy new ones.

Clearly, you lack the coherency to comprehend sarcasm.
