Most people like being around other people who are chill and respectful. There's no magic trickery about it. Get outside and talk to people.

Just talk to random people outside?
Results vary by region... You can try that for a while in northern Europe for example. In southern Europe the first person you speak to will probably end up inviting you for dinner with the family.
I can confirm the last one being quite a bit of an exaggeration. 😂
When you're terminally online, it helps to be at least reminded that online culture isn't normal, especially not 4chan. But Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are all full of their own weirdness.
Better than recognizing that would be to reintegrate into society fully and leave the internet mostly behind to sulk and moan.
I'll say that at this point, 4chan has been the least toxic of the websites you listed. I left Facebook and still visit 4chan.
But you are correct. People need to unplug more and get outside.
Well that's obviously an unhinged take
4Chan has the most terminally online and antisocial ppl
They also don't complain about wokeness and people complaining about wokeness
I actually hear people complain about wokeness often irl. At the most random places and times.
Thank god I don't live in the US
I just hear it when my parents start ranting about how horrible the millennials are, without realizing both their children are millennials.
They know...
Eh, I'm a school bus driver and that shit is like the main topic of discussion in the break room. It's usually that, dog-whistle euphemisms for racism, or outright use of the n-word.
That’s so sad. Like I get it, I’ve been the internet shut in and it’s just brutal on your mental health. The blunt reality is that most people are fine and plenty are great. Talk to strangers, you might make friends
god that's really depressing
And this is one of the few posts on 4chan that doesn't contain the n-word or f slur!
or t-slur... sheesh...
Tamarin monkey?
I tried community college first online and then in person at 19/20. Felt so anxious about everything. Mom drove me there and back and was really mean about having to do it. Classes of normies were uber-social, like everybody introduce yourselves and talk aboit the topic. Felt fuck me eyes coming from everyone, which I was probanly returning, but it was a LOT of attention for my loner self. I stopped going and Mom resented me because it cost thousands for like nothing but she didnt want to do it my way either so it was sort of her fault as well. Anyway it was probanly trans dysphoria too. Of course my every waking moment I was like I wonder if they can tell Im feminine please tell me this will help me be more openly queer. Lol.
⛺️🔥 Rest here traveller. Reading the comments in this thread can get tiring.
It's mostly fine. There's one guy who's got a real rough view of the world and taking it out on anyone that engages with him, but if you block him it's a lot better.
@RubiksIsocahedron is a trip
Made me wish I could subscribe to a user. Maybe you can, and I just don't know it, but it was wildly entertaining.
Wow. You led me to a very deep rabbit hole. Not sure if it’s a troll or somebody in serious need for help, but holly hell
Using high school as a marker for what to expect for the rest of life is such a terrible idea. Just throw that in the rubbish and go experience people for yourself. Wade through the assholes and you’ll find tons of nice folks just trying to live.
It's true. I think the amount of attention highschool gets, from people saying it was the best years of their lives, to adults coming down hard on you to do the best thing for your future, to your peers seemingly having an amazing time while you're not, winds up making teens feel like it is indicative of how life will be in general.
It never made sense to me, but I wasn't having a GREAT time until I was in my mid 30s. I had something like a 7 year party. Disposable income, before the worst of my aches set in, and just doing whatever I wanted as long as I made it in to work.
High school was Lord of the Flies.
While that is true... There is still a ton of high school bullshit going on, especially in workplaces.
All the same drama and gossip... I'm so glad I don't work in an office anymore.
Retail jobs are the worst for that because most people there ended up working them right out of high school
Yeah, Bowling for Soup was really on to something there
And still making good music just an fyi.
It just goes to show the average age of anons. Too sad if they plateau around that.
- "X raped my childhood!"
- "Jeez, Michael, you're in your 20's."
congrats anon 💜
Wtf does the tilt of your eyes (canthal tilt) have to do with anything? Do incels not like eyes now or something?
Incels think of lots of complicated theories about society and appearances to explain why they think women are not attracted to them
That's interesting, they're pretty much the same techniques used by racists from the 17-1900s to determine "racial superiority". It's like it never went away, just crawled into 4chan
Racist phrenology is alive and well among the racists who hang out on 4chan, and definitely, they also apply it to incel theory, mixed with misogyny and a feeling that genetics and society dealt them an unfair and poor hand which can’t be rectified.
