I was wondering, how many of us are normies? Do they only lurk?

>>744316913
Having only some of these makes you normal. Having all of these makes you lucky. Imo normies are the people that desperately try to lead perfect lives and blend in like retards. To answer your question, I do have all of those except a job.

>>744317505
thats a good way to see things, thank you. Do you feel like you are lucky?

Im a lawyer with a steady girlfriend, loving parents and plenty of friends. I was diagnosed with depression in college, but the therapist just wanted money. Im happy. I post something like once a week.

>>744316913
Schizo neet with very few friends, reporting

>>744317872
diagnosed?
Do your friends know? How bad is it?

>>744316913
Wouldnt call myself a normie, i have all these apart from a job

>>744318003
It's well managed with meds (that are slowly killing me)
Yes friends know
Pretty bad. I didn't get diagnosed till I was 25

>>744318236
what do you mean, killing you? Are the side effects so bad?
How do they deal with it?
How do YOU deal with it?

>>744316913
By this thinking, I devolved to a normie a month ago.
But on the other hand, my friends are retarded, so we are rather a bunch of collective basement dwellers than anything else

>>744317727
Yes, I am lucky. I also 99% lurk here. What about you OP? What made you question /b's normality and health?

>>744318311
I'm tired all the time, I've gained 80 lbs since being on meds, i forget little things like what a butterfly is. Basically it feels like my brain is melting and I'm becoming retarded.
How do they deal with it?
>Well he's not killing himself or anyone else so I guess we're doing a good job.
How do I deal with it?
>Lots of exercise.

>>744316913
there are no normies here only losers pretending to be normies to piss everyone else off

its all a ruse!

>>744318415
how did you meet the friends?

>>744318416
Well, when i first came here, i had the picture of a 4channer. you know, the same picture the media paints when talking about us. grew a kind of...group mentallety. Then my life changed a lot, i grew confidence, found out what i wanted to do in life, found my girlfriend....and then i wonderd...how many of us are happy, even individuals? Because i am one, and jet i feel this "connection" to the people here although most of us are, or at leas behave like asholes. Bur now i finally found out that there a "good" people on here. not that i was thinking you have to be a autist to be on 4chan but you know....i was thinking of 4chan as an outcast thing, and that i was the exeption.


>>744318640
are the meds doing permanent damage? Will they shorten your life span?

Do you feel like the relationship to ypur friends is good?

>>744319142
There's a strong chance of dementia. That's all I really know. My BFF broke up with me like a month ago. We still talk but I think it's over.

>>744318415
Yea I'm a normie by this definition, but I definitely am not normie status if you get to know me. I have these things but act like a retard and look at weird shit online in private or with friends

>>744319380
and when you don't take the meds, it is impossible to have a normal life?

Do you have somebody who is really there for you?

>>744319658
I have good care. And yes I pretty much can't even have a conversation and would like to jump off a cliff.

>>744316913
36 white male. PhD and an MBA. I work in finance. Married for almost a decade, one kid. 3000 sq ft house. Two cars. Most of my friends are my age more or less and are almost exclusively white, but I sprinkle in some minorities. I do shit for non profits, the government, and some consulting on the side.

>>744316913
I would consider myself a normie. I did have one friend that confirmed he posted on 4chan, but he stopping going to /b/. He posted in /fit/ and /mu/. He was a little weird, always trying super hard to score with any chick we would meet and trying to be a DJ. I also had some of my computer science friends that talked like they knew a lot about 4chan. All of them where smart guys, but they were not very responsible and played vidja all the time.

>>744319642

care to explayn a little mor? Like what takes the normie status back away from you?

>>744319713
Good to hear that you have good care. Do you ever think about suicide? Because i imagine it to be horrible to notice how one "becomes retarded" and i dont know if i could take that

>>744319903
(you FUCKING white male)
Bur wow till now you won the normie contest. Are you happy?

>>744320038
Definitely a lot of times, but not in the last few years I'm pretty stable now.

I'm a healthy guy in college with friends I hang out with every day and a qt that sleeps with me in my bed every night. Livin the dream.
I come here because I've been coming here since I was in 7th grade. I'm 20 now. It's just a comfortable way to waste time, but I don't come as often as I used to. I started on /b/ but now almost exclusively go on /lit/ and /fit/. I use 4chan less and less since /pol/ and /r9k/ started becoming the main face and atmosphere of every other board and I've just got more shit to do now. The new era of the_donald frogposting shit is honestly probably gonna see me stop coming here entirely soon enough.

>>744320351
good. I know it means nothing fromm an internet stranger, but i whope you will be good. Thank you for your story anon.

>>744320418
Happy for you :)
Nice to lose a /b/rother this way.

>>744320038
Obsession with animated shit to the point of almost autism, I only watch western cartoons in my spare time. My online usage is torrent clients and 4chan, no actual social media or normie tier sites. Weird hobbies like d&d, or collecting reptiles. Racist and vaguely red pill beliefs that I do not share with anyone but picked up here. Play weird games like warhammer total war or ragnarok, not normie tier cod or blizzard shit. I tend to hide what I do in my spare time because people aren't into the shit I like, and don't believe what I believe. Even my girlfriend is fairly liberal, but I really don't conceal my power level with her at all

>>744320038
Anon from>>744319903 here. And no. I'm miserable. Every day is a struggle to avoid driving my car off a bridge.

been coming here since 2008, never post. I dont think people from back then were so much of a social fuckup as today.
i have a good job, live alone, friends, startup in the works, had qt, alone now. i consider myself a converted normie

>>744316913
>No friends
>Relationshipp with family is shaky ~70% of the time
>Extended gamily I rarely interact with
>I guess I'm somewhat healthy?
>No romantic relationship to speak of

I exist to work and get raped by 35% Canadian taxes + 15% provincial sales tax + provincial levies

>Taxing the population to pay off debt
>huehuehue

>>744320717
Hey, dont say bad things about reptiles.
But i see what you mean. I have the "luck" that i never went in to far. And that my gf shares my political views..

>>744320759
Why is that, what makes you so miserable? Form the outside one would think, as i do, that you are very happy, so what is it i dont see?

>>744321022
Lol true but most people aren't into reptiles enough to go for a bio degree. The funny thing is she doesn't really care about that shit, she does accepts me for who I am. I also treat her pretty well

>>744320975
Converted normie is a good term. So you mean that the regular posters became more retarded? whar is your job?

>>744320977
any plans of chanching your life?
Like is there a way out for you?

>>744321211
I have tree bearded dragns, i think this is the normie equivalent of reptile collections.
that sounds like a good relatonship, how long is it? (the relationship)

>>744321248
No, I'm stuck in this miserable place. It's a combination of too expensive to leave this island (without having to reacquiring personal assets), severe homesickness, strong unwillingness to accept change, and a whole other plethora of reasons.

This is a real living nightmare, and I'm with >>744320759
This Anon:
Every day is a struggle to avoid driving my car off a bridge.

>normal health
>6 friends that I can actually converse with
>immediate family is pretty annoying
>one friend is a girl who I am trying to flirt with (haven't been socially awkward with her, went out once a week and a half ago)
>have minimum wage job, but it's easy and work with most of said friends
I think I'm doing alright so far

>>744320639
Thanks, anon.
It's strange to see how the site has changed over the years. I showed up as an obnoxious 12-year-old shit with no friends, and I think the original abrasiveness and honesty about everything was a surprisingly big influence on getting me to actually improve my life and care about being better.
Now, the sentiment is that being an obnoxious twat neet is actually the correct way to live and is inherently superior to normies, a word that didn't even exist back then. If I arrived to a board like this I might've actually fallen into that trap and been one of those smugly superior /r9k/ fags proud to be fat and do nothing. We used to be sad about not fitting in, but the new frogposters revel in being as outcasted as humanly possible.

>>744316913
i have decent health, good friends, a family i'm actively in good contact with, a girlfriend, and a job i like but don't love.

>>744321578
maybe do something drastic like joining the army will help? Souds stupid i know but they take away a lot ofdecisions from you, that might help you "clear up" your life?

>>744321727
what is your job?

>>744321758
very true when you put it like this. but where will this trend end?

>>744321804
you do sound like a normie. Waht makes you come back to 4chan?

>>744321022
The more I've obtained, the more I've thirsted for. Objectively my life is amazing, but I hate it. It isn't enough. It will never be enough.

And as a special bonus, society is arranged to punish you for getting ahead. If you get into a good MBA program it's because you're white. Job in finance? Because you're male. Earn more? Pay more taxes.

I'm late 30s, have good health, have friends and family (divorced, have custody of my son, have a great relationship with my parents/siblings). I have a good job (software engineer) and have a long term girlfriend.

I pop in here a few times a week (usually to surf /gif/ or /s/ for porn when the gf is not available) but otherwise don't really have time.

When I was in my late teens and early/mid 20s, I spent way too much time here or on similar places like Something Awful or Digg. I look back at those times and shake my head because these places give you the impression that you're socializing and you have friend but you're not and you don't. If you're here every day for hours like a lot of people do, you're wasting your life and you're going to regret it later in life when you look back.

>>744321404
Hey beardless are pretty dam cool. I've really cut down on the lizards but I still have a panther chameleon and a crested gecko. Lol actually been 8 months today, thanks for the reminder /b/rother

>where will this trend end?
I don't know. I doubt I'll stick around to find out.
I always wonder how long the lifespan of a site like this will be, 4chan's already lasted a lot longer than a lot of other places. I get the impression the current sentiment is so strong and violently opposed to all others that it'll continue like this until the site dissolves, either naturally or through some kind of SOPA-like internet reform.

>>744322983
Beardies*

i have a job, and a kid on the way, im in my 30s. i also bang amphetamines into my veins on a regular basis, i also drink it and take it up my nose. i drink heavily to stay on a healty mental status. other then that, im pretty normal, with normal friends. healty relationship with siblings and parents.

>>744322632
are you in therapy or are you planning on going in therapy? Because i really think you could use it...i understand what you mean, but i have never felt the same so i cant say anything clever to that...does your family know about how you feel?

>>744322840
"If you're here every day for hours like a lot of people do, you're wasting your life and you're going to regret it later in life when you look back." We should put that on a fucking banner for everyone to read, because i think that this indeed is a trap for a lot of young minds.
Happy to hear that you did not fall for it :)

>>744322983
i fucking love geckos man. i love how such a brittel and fragile looking animal can life and look nice in the process.
hah no problem, buy her some flowers or something like this. but you shure know what to do :)

>>744323046
imagine that. 4chan closed down and all the anons dont know what to do with there time...

>>744323558
so besides massive drug issues you are normal? Or do you REALLY have it under control? Whay do yoi have to drink for your mental status?

>>744323846
You are a kind and thoughtful anon
I hope you have a nice night

>>744324046
thank you, anon, i give my best.
I hope you have a nice night too, and a nice life, in case we will never meet again. :)

I lurk alot

>>744316913
Being a happy person makes you a normie?

I want to be a normie.

>>744325216
i dont think all normies are happy, but i think if you really are a normie, you are less likely to become depressed. But after expiriencing this thread, i don't really know if thats true.

>>744317754
>steady girlfriend
Put a ring on it!

>>744316913
i have all of that except no romantic relationship. i would give anything to have a loyal, beautiful, intelligent, funny, girlfriend whom becomes my wife and mother of my children

>>744323846
i have it under control, i have been doing this for years, iam very clean with needles and whatnot, i have a special savings account for my "medicine".
why i drink is because if i only do amphetamine, i can lose my shit a little bit. so i balance them. and it works, i never miss my job, and i do it well. my gf only knows about my drinking, but dosnt say much about it. amphetamines kinda sobers you up. and the alcohol slows down the amphetamie. haha sound fucked up, but it works for me.

>>744325685
whats ceeping you from finding this girl?

>>744325884
sounds fucked up indeed, what if you cut it all out? Would you surrive? I mean it works right now but what if you lose your youb? What if you spend all your savings?

>>744325967
i get rejected all the time. single women dont seem to like me at all and the only ones that happen to ever flirt back are already taken and just looking for attention.

>>744326236
do you know why you get rejectet, or do you think to know why?

>>744326327
i don't see why. I practice good hygiene, wear decent clothes, been told im handsome by attractive women, i try to get to know the woman a little then invite her to dinner, drinks, bowling, movies, or something that i was already going to do anyway.

>>744326595
well i dont know you, so i dont know what advice will help you but anyway:
-Alwas stay true to your self and your feelings, even if it means the end of a friendship
-never "explain yourself" or say sorry for anything but obvious reasons.
-dont do anythong just to show of, dont be pretentious basically
-Don't try to "get on theyr level" jsut try to (subtel) show them that you can take care of them and watch over them ( dont push it though, do it only when there is the oppertuity)

By the way sorry for my horrible grammar, i am not from an english speaking country.

>>744316913
I'm mostly a normie. In my mid 30's, have an ok job that is at least more than minimum wage. Some of my family can be annoying, the ones that are still mormon anyway. I've been married for about 3 years and I have a daughter. I have friends that I choose to keep close to me and that's good enough for me.

Health isn't the greatest. Have a problem that is hereditary. Lost about 115 pounds a couple years ago and I'm about to run my first marathon.

I guess that mostly makes me a normie.

>>744316913
haha, i have NONE of those so no i'm not a normie

>>744327879
and what about you, are you happy?

>>744328113
I'm generally pretty happy. Especially since my child was born.

>>744328884
thats nice to hear. How old is your daughter?

Almost 18 months

>>744316913
I'm not a degenerate and the only real reason I come to /b is for the YLYL threads
So I'm a normie

husband says we arent normies. i am a newfag tho so i mainly lurk. learning from my husband. married f with 2 kids. one thats physically disabled. live in apartment. broke as fuck all the time. blah blah.

>>744329527
i wish you and your family all the best for the future. :)

>>744330806
what kind of disability?
how long are you married? And how do you feel about your situation?

>>744331574
Thanks anon

>>744316913
Autistic, anxious, depressed, reclusive
Failing relationship
No friends
Family would be better off if I was dead
No job; just uni

>>744331790
therapy for you?

No, your family would miss you.

>>744331574
in a nutshell he is paralyzed waist down. all lower extremities are messed up. he was born that way. doctors don't know what happened. hes 2 months old. been married for 5 years.
situation is alright. it's the new norm for us. we don't have friends. don't want any. everyone thinks we are conspiracy nuts. they are all the fucking same though.

>>744332396
what do you mean they are the same?

>>744316913
I have all of these and do consider myself lucky.
I only heard about 4chan about 6 months ago.
I only lurk but made an exception for this post.
I'm a normie
24 years old

>>744332615
They all think the same. Nobody has an original thought anymore. Whats trending is what they follow. Dare to say something out of the box and your fucking crazy.

>>744332851
thank you for making an exeption! I hope your luck never stops, dont stay here for to long!


>>744332927
You are right, but what can you do, humans are just herd animals after all


I have to go to bed now, it was a verry nice thread, i have never seen such a nice one bevore. It was nice to post with you all, thank you, bless you and bye bye!

My dik is feet long I come from Slovakia with big arms and preety face the call me Ivan the terrible but am rrealy nice

I have family, friends, and somewhat decent health.

>>744316913
I used to be a NEET supremo, but I went a little crazy and dragged my ass back from the brink about 6 years ago. I was edgy and autistic as fuck as a teenager too.

Now I'm married, just started a good paying job in my field after working my way through college, have one kid and another on the way. My wife is a school teacher, and we spend a lot of time with our extended and immediate families. I drink on the weekends, grill for the family in the summer, camp with the guys in the winter, sing my daughter to sleep and have sex with my wife about twice a week.

Once a week though, I get the house to myself overnight, and on that night my inner NEET comes back out. I get stoned, drink whiskey, and play vidya on one monitor and shitpost on the other, fapping intermittently throughout the night. The rest of the week I just lurk /k/ and occasionally talk about guns there.

I've started posting more since I started a part time security job to make some extra fun money (vidya, guns, thinking about getting into HEMA since I'm becoming a fat fuck) and all I do is sit and play on my phone.

I have a great life, but you faggots will always have a special place in my heart.

I have zero health problems.
Long time great friends.
Married to the girl of my dreams for almost 7 years.
I'm well respected at a job I really emjoy.
Both my and my wife's parents are still together.
Have new vehicles to drive and a fun project car.
Enjoy incest porn.
Yupp. Normie here.

>>744332927
one more thin: Not everybody is the same. dont Say "we dont want friends" maybe you will find people who think the way you do, right?


>>744333430
that is a very nice story, brother. It is good to hear that there is a chance for everybody. Good bye, and never forget us.

>>744333816
with the incest porn the post sounds almost like a joke. But good for you!

I'm a middle aged white male who married my high school sweetheart. I have several children (only with the wife), a well paying job, and a house in the suburbs. I lurk this site several times a day. I love all of you sick fucks. Thanks for doing what you do.

>>744333947
>>74433816
I'm normal I guess. I just have an odd fetish that no one knows about.

>>744316913
I'm not really a normie but I am not a NEET. I kinda just ride the middle and go where life takes me...

Well. If "normie" means not going on /b/ like a homeless guy who sucked off 10 random niggers to buy a gram of h, only to drop it in a bus station toilet filled with shit, piss, an tp, then still shoots it up off of a dirty spoon he found in a dumpster,
I'm not a "normie".

> have a job held for 3 years
> normal health physically (crippling anxiety though)
> 3 friends (go months without hanging with them but could message them anytime to hang out and get drunk)
> have a gf of 2 years
> have a 1 year old daughter

I'm a semi normie? I wouldn't want to be full blown autistic.

>>744334758
Why do you have crippling anxiety?

I have no girlfriend, and the never really had one.
I have some health issues, and my friends are just steam friends I usually talk to or exchange stuff from mail.
My job sucks

I know it's tongue in cheek. But sites like this are the remaining bastion of anonymity and free speech. Just make sure your 7 proxies are working.

>>744334866
I'm not sure. I haven't really gotten to the root of it.

Although I think its because I found my brother fucked up on anti depressants 3 years ago.

He swallowed a whole bottle and an heroes the next day in the hospital. I said some harsh words to him in the hospital the day before he died. I wish I could take it back.

I think about him everyday. And I feel like a piece of shit. But I didn't think he was going to die. I thought the hospital would be able to save him.

I haven't felt the same since.

>>744334866
Also nice dubs bro.

>>744316913
If you say normie I can almost guarantee that you're a normie.
