Will being on /r9k/ drag me down?

only if you dont take things posted here as satire.

This. It's all bullshit.

If you're on R9K things are probably already pretty bad. It might not drag you down any further, but it certainly won't make things any better.

>/r9k/ is satire

Maybe tendie stories but the feels are real.

there is a nasty riptide it is true
but you can grow very strong in this place if you try

>>36401963
Yes, leave while you still can

>>36401963
Depends on how impressionable you are.

this place makes me appreciate the little that i have, but ultimately it is a cancer

>>36401963
It's changed my beliefs a little bit. I buy more into the Chad/Stacy/roastie/normie stuff and think it can be pretty legitimate social commentary.

well.. first you have to be above something to be able to be dragged down. this might be the bottom, if you came here you are just leveling or smoothing out

>>36401963
I think it depends how susceptible you are to pessimism. /r9k/ usually has a very pessimistic outlook on things and it could be very toxic to absorb.
However, *some* threads can give decent advice or insightful life stories if only to tell you what to avoid. Furthermore, depending on how bad your situation is, it can provide you with social interaction (albeit with anonymous) or an outlet for frustrations.
I certainly believe had i found /r9k/ when i was 16 it would've encouraged me to attempt to correct course as to avoid ending up like some of the people on here (I understand that the board was very different 5 years ago but suppose a board similar).
Just avoid falling for the bad memes or becoming too pessimistic. Generally, i would say this entails avoiding the gender dysphoria, cuckold and shitposting threads.

don't be too impressionable, but there is a difference between being redpilled and this website ruining you. That's a bad way of putting it, i'll try use an example.
Let's say you come here, not hating women, then after a while on here, you now hate women. That's not /r9k/'s fault, cus if you truly didn't hate women, then you wouldn't be persuaded to hate women.
That's still a bad explanation but hopefully you get it.

We all drag each other down whether we like it or not. From the active cancer poster to the tame pathetic bot. One will take you on a trip down the pessimism road (or worse) and the other we'll make you feel a sense of comfort in your less pathetic (but still pathetic) life trapping you there forever.

Just do yourself a favor and look away from the abyss, anon.

>>36403025
what do you mean by shitposting?
legit question, it seems there are lots of different definitions and usages for it.

>>36403479
Pessimism seems to be a repeated point in this thread.
You're probably right that it would be good to look away from the abyss.
Hopelessness is the best predictor of suicide, after all. And pessimism kills hope.

Just remember this. You may feel pathetic. You may hate yourself. But on this board you will encounter people worse than yourself. Promise yourself you will never become like them.

The best thing you can take away from this board is awareness. There are people here trying to change your mind and drag you to their depths, be aware of them. Also when others are being mocked or criticized for this that you also do listen. Instead of getting down on yourself develop a sense of self awareness.

Who knows, maybe one day you will escape this emotional black hole abs come back to get REEEEEEEEd at. I did. Never aspire to become a robot. If you are one that's okay. But you should never take pride in it. That's the biggest risk of hanging around here.

Don't make being a robot your identity, gotcha.
too late...
well, maybe I'll try cyborg?
or directly slightly weird? slightly weird seems fine. I'm not a normie tho, objectively.

>>36404783
I wouldn't identify as a normie either. Cyborg at best. I have experienced sex and relationships. I don't fit in with either group though. I have few friends and don't like social contact with most people. I am introverted. I have psychological problems and a physical disability. The way people treated me in school caused me to withdraw. But I still find some social contact, just enough to keep myself from being totally miserable and yes that includes the females I've had in my life.

I know the difference. One of my best friends has already achieved wizardhood. He's more extroverted than I am but he doesn't take care of his hygiene. He always talks very loud and says offensive and out of place things in conversations. I can't compare myself to someone like that. I feel bad for him but if I can't even tell him to quiet down and not use racial slurs in a public place how can I help him get laid? I think I'll just buy him a hooker someday. He's happy with that idea.
