Hey, New(ish)fag here.
Hooked on 4chan and wondering if it has adverse effects on me irl. What are all your experiences on this?
I just became desensitized and more self aware I think

Be mentally strong and this place will only broaden your horizons. Unfiltered wisdom, memes, apathy, anger, basically full spectrum of emotions can be found here and only to make you stronger.
Be mentally weak, fall into one of many echo chambers, visit too much the wrong boards (pol) or too random boards (b) and you will become jaded, maybe even give up on life and slowly become like pic related.
Be curious horny teen and this place will turn you into >>>/d/egenerate.

It all depends on what boards you will pick and what memes you will decide to believe to be true. /adv is board for normies and pretty safe. Enjoy your stay, you are here forever!
Never forget what satire and trolling means.

Depends where you go. /r9k/ will make you miserable unless you want to help others (and even then, you better have a lot of self confidence - misery loves company). If you can sift through the antisemitism (some warranted, most not), you'll have your worldview changed for the better on /pol/, but you'll also come to hate a lot of normal shit (I personally see this as a perk). /g/ will make you pretty literate in tech, but you're not gonna learn to code or anything. You'll more just become familiar with linux alternatives to google, as well as what good/bad phones/watches are out there.
im here since 8 years now, learned how to get and keep a GF on here (/adv/) and had lots of fun on /b/. Also got out of my depression thanks to baww threads in part.
Don't buy into the PUA shit, don't get racist and you will be fine. also teaches you to be carefull which texts you believe on the internet.

Just abandon everything this will consume you
