TFW you wasted thousands of hours on Veeky Forums instead of doing something productive

>Veeky Forums is my hobby AND it's technically socializing
No. Pls dont lie to yourself. Veeky Forums is not a fucking hobby, its wasting time.

>Depends on how you use it. If all you do is post stupid memes like "sipboys" then yeah, you are wasting your life.

No. It is objectively a poor and inefficient method of learning about ANYTHING.

Give me one reason to use Veeky Forums for fitness and health information over youtube channels, fitness blogs, dedicated forums, or even fucking leddit. Veeky Forums is just basically a really crappy medium for information you gain from other places.

Bump

>wasted time doing something you enjoy
it's only a waste if you're not balancing your time
I work, and my career is fantastic. In the little bit of time I have, I'll check out Veeky Forums or Veeky Forums just to chill & lurk.
Literally only an issue if you're some type of fool who can't manage time. Stop complaining.

I haven't necessarily learned anything directly from Veeky Forums, but I have heard about new things and decided to research them. I've gotten exposed to a lot of new info I wouldn't have known if it weren't for Veeky Forums.

>tfw NEET shut-in for 10 years
>done nothing productive in that time

why

priceless isn't it?

how the fuck does it even get to that point

I was a NEET for 9 months then I realized "Holy shit I've done literally nothing, my life is not going where I want it to". and changed everything.

pls tell me your story, this is quite interesting

Between Veeky Forums pornography and video games I've wasted years worth of time that could have been "productive" but what the fuck is productive anyway should I have been chasing girls or putting in more hours at work or what? I've never been good at talking to women honestly they frighten the hell out of me the majority of my worst memories are being humiliated in front or because of women. Now I started lifting about 1.5 yrs ago I haven't played video games in over 6 months and I've been enable to cut porn down to two times a week. I'm trying to be more social I've started practicing by making small talk with people I see while out on errands and I say hi to people I walk past which is helping my anxiety but does anyone know of other things I can do to be more productive for myself?

Isn't being terrible at something all the more reason to improve in it?

>2017
>not knowing about image search

>Isn't being terrible at something all the more reason to improve in it?

Yes absolutely that's a big part of my motivation to improve I realized that endless video gaming was making it harder for me to connect with people which is why I stopped playing and I've been forcing myself to say hello to strangers and try to make small talk as steps to improve me social skills hoping that it will help me get over my fears snd personal hang ups I think that getting in better shape physically is also helping my confidence and people's first reaction to me I was a skeleton and now I have a small athletic build . I am wondering if it seems like im still missing something or if anyone has other ideas on how I can improve myself even more

Veeky Forums unironically helped me become the man I am today, but now I don’t use it for self improvement anymore. I just shitpost and I can’t fucking leave this place.

It's aoi shirosaki but I have never found thw video it seems to have been removed from most free sites

>I have never found thw video

took me 2 minutes using google. get it together m8

Link?

>mfw I wasted thousands of hours on fapping, edging and finding fap material instead of finding a mate

I only browse at work. So, technically, I'm getting paid to shitpost. I guess it's still not productive, though.

4 chan has unironically made me a better person

>trying to justify my 3000 hours spend on anime, compared to some white collar worker who earns 300k now with some easy job that I also could have learned

Its suffering, but sometimes, you probably did make bad life choices.

not the guy you are replying to but here is my excuse

>early days of internet with lots of obscure information, when ...reddit first started and wasnt a shithole of lefties
>when Veeky Forums first started and had these weird stories
>Veeky Forums, the skeleton computers
>/k/ and its weapon stories, spooky crap
>/b/ and its dickcutting and weird things
>vidya and porn for free

If you chose to dive into this world at a young age, then schooling is just not attractive, women are not attractive, money is not attractive. A computer provided you with such a vast world, so complex and so extreme in its splendor.

Spend 10 years just processing it all. Learned a little bit, but also wasted a lot of time on porn and chink cartoons.
