Lol we’ve all had a lot of fun today but don’t go to Reddit
But what if you found people in-person who could answer your questions and help you out so that you don't have to rely on internet strangers?
But you don't find it tedious to talk to people you just said you need reddit to talk to people. You're talking to people right now. I'm a people.
How are you going to develop those skills of patience and conversing by avoiding it outside of obligations? Like what kind of medicine do you think you're going to take that will just make it go away and that you'll never have the problem again?
This shit is a process, speaking from experience. It's not going to be comfortable for a while, no matter what meds you're on or what CBT you go through. CBT will just have you practice talking to people. They're going to tell you to touch grass. The meds will manage the physical symptoms of anxiety, but it doesn't make anxiety go away.
I just don't know what you think needs to happen before you're ready to confront this issue. You're never going to be ready. So get that idea out of your head right now. And it'll probably never go away completely. So you either move or just stew in a dark room the rest of your life which will 100% make your condition worse (again, speaking from experience).
The real argument here isn't that you can't use reddit. The real argument is shooting down the idea that you can only socialize online or you'll die. That's the real thing separating you from people.
Also, who cares what we say? You're not actually beholden to our opinion.
I know what Kohls you used to work at. You let it slip once and I live in the same city you do. I just never said anything because I don't want to dox myself. I'm sure you deleted it by now.
If a hexbear can be this close to you in physical proximity by accident, then getting to know people irl has hope. If you think I would bully you for interrupting me or something, you're wrong. But you miss the chance to meet people who share a condition or interests with you by writing it all off as you don't care. It's a numbers game. Yes, most people here are chuds. But eventually you'll find others like you. That's why it takes time and work to make friends. You have to get past all the wrong answers to find the right one.
Being able to find one another and reach others is what makes us stronger socialists. I mean it's called "social"ism for a reason. It's not "alienated by myself because I don't care" ism.
i wasn't radicalized on reddit
stop going on reddit
you literally can't even tell someone to kill themself on twitter whats the point. terrible web site
literally any site that allows you to communicate with people can work
like always you're fighting an uphill battle. Why make that battle even MORE uphill with a site that uses downvotes to amplify the westoid bazingabrained echo chamber?
Twitter or even 4chan is better than reddit for political discussion (still both trash in absolute terms though), because the power of the herd is less magnified.
It's good that you think that, but at the same time, any political opinion I post on reddit has a 100% chance of being buried by downvotes
Any post I make on 4chan is visible to all, although I do have a high chance of getting banned by malding mayos. But they still haven't permabanned me, which is more than I can say for reddit
It's better to have a strong space for our own circlejerks and maintenance and good vibes.
Going into hostile spaces and trying to do your shit just doesn't work.
that it kinda sucks to be cut off from the ability to ask a large group of people questions you might not be able to find the answers to elsewhere
then just use an account and never talk about politics, and only use it for stuff that's absolutely constructive and useful (tech support, IDing a mushroom, finding out which cell phone service is best, etc)
lmao THAT'S the problem you have with 4chan? Instead of everything fucking else?
anyway, the only political discussion I'd have on reddit is if I were PMing people and telling them to come here. Or just posting on r/sino (somehow not banned yet lul)
To each their own but I just disagree. 4chan is a great website, the only problem is 4channers.
It's way easier to use than any other social media site since it's not screenname-based (they still know your IP tho) and there's hardly any settings (aside from saging a thread you don't like, but I don't waste time on that)
Ironically, I think "stop going on reddit, it sucks" is one of this site's own reddit-isms (e.g. formulaic responses to certain situations, like the facebook-gym-lawyer meme and "thanks for the gold kind stranger" and stuff)
Reddit is a large pool of knowledge
Yeah, but half of the "knowledge" is straight up wrong and it's sometimes really hard to separate what's bs and what's not
Hobby subs are usually fine. Weirdly they can be a good place to spread some theory sometimes, i ended up teaching a bunch of stoners about the gay/trans panic defense on a weed growing sub once
I tell people to stop using reddit yet frequently use reddit myself :gigachad-hd:
you know that you don't have to listen to what people on the internet tell you to do, right?
How is your anxiety? Seems to me like you have anxiety and were self-medicating with weed until the scumlords at Kohls cut you loose.
Genuinely love working out high, I get so into the kinesiology and the music
millions of users... niche interest discussion boards
Well there's your problem. Your niche interest discussion boards don't have millions of users. But here's the good news: they don't need millions of users either.
Reddit just cannibalized all of the bbs's that existed before the web 2.0 rebrand. It's time to balkanize reddit and learn to relate with small niche communities again.
I don't know what to tell you, I use reddit on the daily too. Logging off is the good advice that I just couldn't take either.
Talking to a bunch of libs and nazis doesn't count as social interaction to me, so no.
And if you think this is a bad take, I invite you to look at what reddit says about this site. Here: https://old.reddit.com/search?q=hexbear
You could, you know, ignore the comments on here and just go on reddit.
Because if you were to post the stuff we post here over there, you'd get your account banned instantly, so clearly you are managing to ignore the shit reddit says 24/7.
why the fuck do people post on the internet at all?”
:I-was-saying:
That's not the context presented by OP and I disagree with the argument that we might as well return to monke and abolish the internet because the largest site on it is bad.
I invite you to look at what reddit says about this site. Here: https://old.reddit.com/search?q=hexbear
Bahaha some of this is absolute gold!
There is a group of CCP globalist shills trained in psychological warfare engaging in vulnerable subreddits.
They say they are not but they have created hexbear-communism to try and Make the murderous commie sickos seem palatable to Western people.
genuinely thought this was c/copypasta lmao
but to probably reiterate what other people have said 123 times now (im not reading 100+ comments lmao), you're taking people's frustrations with :reddit-logo: too seriously dog
the evil hexbear cancel culture isn't going to stop you from visiting your mediocre hobby site, just like it hasn't stopped me :shrug-outta-hecks:
I say don't go on Reddit and then I go on Reddit. I am huge, I contain multitudes
I wish it was a Site Rule that Reddit was only mentioned in the Dunk Tank because that shit sucks.
"Oh look at this dipshit saying something no one else but me is interacting with!"
"Check it out someone excluded me from their space!"
Stop going on reddit
