Anyone else feel like 4chan is their residence for life? I just have this gut feeling that real life isn't where I belong and this place is somehow more real than anything in real life.
You know what I'm talking about, r9k? I've just become so depersonalized with real people and events, I'm zombie out there, but in here it's another world.
I still feel depersonalized but it's less so on here.
If I could find an anonymous imageboard where people where kinder and not as cruel, it was as popular as this one (fast, many replies) I would never come to this shithole again. As it stands... This is home. This is family. A horrible, abusive family.
My board is /vg/, I shitpost on /sp/ and post feels in this place.

Ya know, it didn't used to be so bad here.
4chan is a place where, as an anonymous subject, you are pure ego - the super-ego is not present as it is in 'real' life. The mask you adopt to convince civilized humans that you can behave as a fellow civilized human, thus allowing them to believe that a relationship with you can be predictable and beneficial, is of course not the 'real' you. Here you are stripped of pretensions and pressure to conform to ideology, so you can truly 'just be yourself'and scho on

Contrary to your opinion, the bluntness of this place is, I think, what makes it alive and animate. The very ridiculousness and savage irony of it all is what drives me on, and it's like I hate myself and others but I exist off the hatred. I can't live without it, it's become a part of me ever since I became increasingly addictive to the computer.
And I cannot remove myself away from it. I am a slave to it, possibly forever.
I just exist and 4chan as well as the computer, is really the only force that keeps me here on this Earth.
I also wish I could find another imageboard that wasn't as bad but this is the only place that's remotely real to me.
Maybe I'll find a greater sense of understanding if something happens big happens to me but until then I'm stuck in this eternal loop.

This is precisely my thoughts on the matter. When you're on here you reveal your shaded self completely to the world and the shadow is removed when you realize nobody can know you on here, as they would in real life.
In other words, everything is expelled on here, whilst in real life you keep the inner self tucked in because it's not how people would want you to normally act.
I love it here. We would probably hate each other face to face but it doesn't matter because we all love being in front of our computers.
I can't. This place will never grow up but I'll do, or at least should.
I've been posting on this site for nearly 11 years. Even if I wanted out, there's no escape.
