Do you think that this website has had a net positive or negative

>>37667421

completely negative

consequently I wouldn't have found this site if I was molested and forced to watch porn as a child.

It just changed the outlook I had on life. Feel like I understand it more but i wish I took the bluepill instead. This world is terrible

>>37667421
positive
this place is always honest with how humanity works, and it allowed me to explore things I would have not otherwise

This place has made me feel really guilty about being a robot. Like my face is below average, but I'm 6'0" and healthy so I've really got no excuse, especially when I read about these poor bastards who are like 5'4" with literal deformities.

>>37667701
*So I guess negative, like I hate myself even more for being what I am knowing that I really shouldn't be like this

Sorry, I clicked post without thinking, I'm day drinking

Can't tell. I was introduced to a lot of new ways of thinking, and I found some music I really like here.

But it also reignited some of my hangups

positive because this is the only place I'm accepted by others

Probably very negative

This website is most of my social interaction, so I pick up these connotations and innuendos in conversation that doesn't really apply to most people. That and I'm severely more depressed since this website promotes insecurity

>>37667725
hey, that rhymed

>>37667421
Mostly negative, but happy for the experience. Exposed me to stuff I didn't even know existed and made me feel a little more isolated from people. But happy I got to see it all and see new perspectives. Also I like the sense of humor here.

So positive for personal feelings, negative for functionality in society

l get some laughs

Positive, it's nice to know I'm not alone.

It enables me to indulge in sadness. I was never supposed to end up in this place, but I sealed my faith a decade ago.
I'd give up everything for a second chance at life. I keep telling myself it isn't fair, but... it's completely fair...

>>37668207
this is a little too edgy for me honestly

>>37667421
positive. all the views I have now I had before I joined this place, so its not like it changed the way I think. I thought I was alone being the only one socially anxious and isolated until I found this place.

You can't share any feels anymore without being called edgy... It's not even edgy, what does it even mean anymore?

>>37667421
Positive.
Regardless of whatever people say of this site, I have never once felt so close to and felt so understood as I have in this place. I truly feel I can just be myself and people will understand and not give me strange looks.

>>37668427
>I truly feel I can just be myself and people will understand
When I make threads on /adv/ people start bashing me because of my callousness, when I make threads on /r9k/ people ignore me

>>37667421
What is "net positive" I have to know

>>37668659
/adv/ is full of normals. /r9k/ its a hit or miss. I don't really make threads but even if its one or two responses, I feel truly grateful.

>>37667421
Positive OP. Anonymous forums are the best thing to ever come out of the internet.

positive because it's made me more self-aware
negative in every other way

>>37668922
I've had the opposite experience. I'm less aware of everything, including myself. Not because of /r9k/ explicitly, but because I allow myself to spend all of my time here.

>>37667421
Mostly positive

>>37667421

absolutely negative.

>height trolling
>cesspool of bitter virgins
>pessimism toward society and pop culture

At first it was cool seeing people that were in the same boat as me, but looking back I was way more normal than I realized. I was hoping I was gonna find the answers to my problems here, but i didn't realize until it was too late that everyone here was looking for the same answers, and if there were answers, they sure as hell wouldn't be here.

But, I will say the answers to my problems I found out a few years ago.

>I wasn't nice enough
>I wasn't persistent enough

When I found 4chan at 18 I was trying to be like my friends and get laid a lot. I would always get rejected, then I would be bitter. I didn't realize that my friends got rejected just as much as me, only difference is they kept trying until the girl said yes.

Really wish I had someone to teach me that lesson at 14.

It's totally neutral. I just come here from time to time to bullshit with folks.

>>37667421
Positive, it's one of the few things in life I find funny.

>>37667421
split down the middle desu this is the only place I really get any kind of social interaction

>>37667421
Positive. I come here to feel understood and not alone in all my problems.

This site made me think Hitler was the good guy, so you be the judge.

>>37667421
100% negative. It let me pretend I have actual friends instead of going out

>>37667421
Positive. I come here for the comedy.

>>37671356
This.
On top of that I'm ashamed of myself that I tolerate such horrible people and vile imagery just to talk to someone.

And this shithole isn't even in my native language.
