>TFW you've wasted thousands of hours on 4chan when you could have learned useful skills, fostered meaningful relationships or at the very least earned money
I would've done those things if I felt it would make me happier than 4chan would
Ignore and sage desu
>>71708112
but has 4chan made you happy?
Your goals in life, has 4chan gotten you closer to them?

>tfw spent 30 years of my life living on a fucking rock in the middle of the pacific
4chan provides social interaction to people that get little.
You can also unironically learn a lot from 4chan.

2bh all I've learnt is how to be a racist autismo

But is it the right kind of social interaction? Is it healthy social interaction when it's calling eachother faggots, jews, niggers, cucks, etc. Doesn't social interaction require you to actually have eye contact and form a relationship with the person?

I didn't mean /int/ ,8 more like the boards centred around specific hobbies.

It's banter isn't it mate, even normies banter.
>Doesn't social interaction require you to actually have eye contact and form a relationship with the person?
So talking to people on skype or on the phone isn't social interaction?
>>71708617
no
whatever we are doing here it satisfies whatever that kind of interaction would do to our body

>So talking to people on skype or on the phone isn't social interaction?
Well it is but then you're talking to the same person. Not really comparable to anonymous imageboards.
I don't know it just feels like being here isn't very healthy for someone's wellbeing. It's the same silly threads every day, seems to honestly erode your critical thinking that you'd develop with debate and discussion in other forums.

>being here isn't very healthy for someone's wellbeing
It isn't but that's due to the content and the people that come here rather than the method of communication.
>>71708809
Perhaps, but is it not inherent on an anonymous imageboard?
Even the best of 4chan boards pale in comparison to dedicated discussion forums for a specific subject.

>tfw you feel completely detached from society and you have no need to socialize because you know that you won't find person that would talk with you on "equal level"
i guess its my fault for being completely desensitised to normie humour and so on
>>71708871
Maybe the anonymity brings out the worst in people
>>71708934
Maybe it just attracts the worst of people.
