I've learned about the fabled one hand press and that to make it I need to lift 1 plate with it.

You must have a pretty bad memory.

so think of four

>Supplements are bullshit
> read books for intelligence rather than lectures
> if /r9k/ is acting a certain way do the opposite and you'll be good
> if you have no confidence, fake it
> people aren't good or evil
That's five right there

When I was a teen Veeky Forums gave me the paranoia of thinking inside that people are thinking the absolute worst about me all the time and just not saying anything because they're not anonymous. I began to think people hated and mocked me and developed social anxiety which caused people to hate/mock me.
Shit's weird, there really is a reason you shouldn't be on this website before being an adult.

I know that feel bro.

Started using Veeky Forums at 16 and it really fucked my head up. It seems ridiculous, but when you spend enough time somewhere it rubs off on you. Even if it's 100% satire or trolling, it's just not possible to spend a lot of time somewhere and for its culture to not rub off.

People are retarded

Very true, I started at around 15 and was pretty much exclusively /b/ until Veeky Forums and /mu/ came out, but still largely /b/ after that. It's a nasty place and did a lot more psychological damage to me than I could appreciate at the time- probably what made it difficult to connect with my peers and I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of why a lot of 4channers are how they are. Gore threads and weird porn and other bizarre shit is not what 16 year olds should be taking in on the reg and communicating to people without any identity as an individual without an identity must change people's communicative ability in a way that brings a detriment not only to face-to-face, interpersonal communication but the ability to participate in real life social circles in general.

I don't even think it's the gore and porn, it's just the general pessimistic and cynical atmosphere.

Everything is shit (these days everything is for "cucks") if you spend enough time here it makes you self-conscious as hell and constantly worried about irrelevant shit. It made me start worrying about everything and become overly cynical over simple things everyone enjoys in life when they really don't matter that much.

>necklet
>jawlet
>dicklet
>manlet
>gymcel

You hit it right on, it's the attitude that they emit. The overly-critical posting can really wear down one's ideas of how normal people think. I just wish there was a way to go back and re-live adolescence free of Veeky Forums, but whatever I guess? No going back...

I really wonder what life could have been like if I didn't find Veeky Forums and videogames.

I really do wonder, user. What a fucking shame.

this website turned me from skelly to fit, read more literature and most important of all disregard women.

I used to be so caught up in trying to fug. So I just worked on myself thanks to Veeky Forums and now the pussy comes to me

...

Been here for 8 years off and on, mostly on. Social gains get worse when I'm frequenting this shithole. You don't realize how overbearingly negative everything on here is until you've left for a while and experience real social interaction

This place really messed me up more than i realize sometimes. I have seen the absolute worst of what humans can do on this site.
The constant cynicism and negativity has really had an effect on me, i hate almost everything now and there is this strange attitude of being suprerior to other people while most people here are autistic losers. I come back here despite knowing its a destructive shit-hole because i somehow have the feeling that anonymous users on a anime message board the only people are i can still connect with.

I know that feel. The whole chad/cuck dichotomy has really gotten to me.

Wait, shit. I've been on here since the beginning of my freshman year. I'm pretty wholesome nowadays, but how may have b and pol fucked me up? I got Veeky Forums ny sophomore year.

So you're saying that you never learn?

Manlet detected

I feel like this just where the negativity is vented. Normal socializing just seems to lack an opening to be completely frank with both your upbeat thoughts and your negative ones. So for all the bile and trolling theres a unique kind of honesty here. Think that's what keeps drawing me back

>how to lift properly

>miata is best car

Miata worst car

For me, it's the miata

>im not big enough
>im not tall enough
>im not smart enough
>im useless

>Traps are gay
>Compounds are the way to go
>Powerlifters are autistic
>Roiders are weird crazy fags
>Traps aren't gay

This place taught me to hate everything and everyone. Which is not a bad thing. Hatred last a long time while love get stale after a while or maybe I've always been a psycho

I learned that I'm royalty at 5'11.

holy fuck you're right

It's way easier to sustain hatred than love

Honestly Veeky Forums made me hate everything.

>if you're not a STEM major, you're a cuck!
>If you dont do starting strength and then the Texas method, you're wasting your time!
>If you do anything other than what people on Veeky Forums allow, you're a faggot

Top 10 things I learned after eight (8) years in this site.

>1. It's literally all about the face. If you have a good face, you're gonna make it regardless in life. Doesn't matter if you're a aspie.

>2. People tend to not care unless shit directly affects them.

>3. Money can buy happiness

>4. /pol/ used to be pretty based and intelligent....but was ruined (anyone who has browsed that board for more than 5 years knows what I'm talking about) by normie edge teenagers & man-childs in their 20s. Today, it's the male equivalent of tumblr. What did I learn? That any group of people can behave like niggers. It's a state of mind, not your skin or race or whatever.

>5. Traps are gay. The only difference between a trap and a chick is a cock. Deal with it.

I started browsing Veeky Forums quite literally when I was 12. I'm a 20 years old loser that lives with their parents with no social skills, no friends and no job now. I wish I had never discovered this shithole. If I ever get children I'm going to make sure they don't spend their entire childhood and teen years behind the computer.

Eat, lift, fap, sleep, repeat

There, that wasn't so hard was it?

>people aren't good or evil
Literally wrong

Veeky Forums made me like traps
Veeky Forums made me gay
fuck Veeky Forums

Been here for like 10 years, this place helps you become a stronger person, you just need to overcome the weak mentalities we all carry

>people* aren't good or evil

*niggers aren't people

>if /r9k/ is acting a certain way do the opposite and you'll be good

>I'm not Special
>Just because you're sad doesn't mean you're intelligent
>The motives and intentions of most people are pretty easy to determine once you admit how basic yours are.
>1 in 1,000,000 is still more than zero.
>Digits beget fortune.

I can relate to all of this. I accidentally posted this pic in a slack channel with my normie friends. I think I managed to take it down before they saw it, but it really made me realize how fucked up i've become.

>What's a chad
>Who are these people
>Is this supposed to be funny?
>Why do you have pics glorifying mass murder

I'm also beginning to feel jaded as fuck regarding this place, i think i've been here too long. I'm beginning to notice an influx of shitloads of newfags who are here more for ebic maymays than actual raw Veeky Forums-style discussions

>'put me in the screencap xd'
>responding to pasta
>using pasta wrong
>'fuark'

I used to hate the statement 'fuck off back to r*ddit'
but i'm beginning to agree with it

i need to get out of here

>'fuark'

Mainly from awkward miscers trying to fit in. They're worse than anons desu

Unironically Veeky Forums taught me to:
>get fit and dress acceptable
>learn programming and how to use my computer productively and securely
>watch/play/read/listen to the good shit
>get off my ass and actually pursue my hobbies/passions (Music, Painting, Writing) instead of rotting away doing nothing
>traps aren't gay

And as gay as it might sound I really appreciate the internet culture in these circles

Still it fucked me up good for a couple of years due to /r9k/, /b/, /pol/ etc. but in the end I sort of managed to cope and benefit from those places

It's easy to blame an external force for your mishaps. Take control of your life.

you're only 20 man. Go fix your shit.

t.29 year old awkward failure

I have a friend who is litterally the human form of Veeky Forums, yet he never goes on Veeky Forums and thinks people only do to feel edgy. He never talks to people, spends full days on his computer playing fucking csgo and is constantly negative and cynical about litterally everything. He never goes outside unless he has to, and he never compliments anyone, or tells them that they did something good, because he has this thing where he feels he is better than everyone, even though he is a fucking lazy loser who will never move out of his parents house. Me hanging around him is having the same effect on me as you spending so much time on this shithole.

I know what you mean man. As "post-ironic", full of shitposting and possibly damaging to young people Veeky Forums might be, it's discussion culture is able to bring forth great things, since it completely lacks any pretense, is painfully self aware and the (formerly) "newfag filter" helped to fill this place with people passionate to the point of autism about the things they're talking about.

Same here, 12 lol. But I mostly only used this place for porn and fitness so the only thing that happened to me is creating a porn addiction and I like to pick up heavy things.
>18 now btw

that's four faggot

Quit porn to like lifting heavy things more

"I'm not smart enough"

Believe it or not, seeing how everyone is here made me really hate myself which in turn made me get into shape, get better style and I focus on bettering myself a lot more. That being said I still have autism and cannot communicate with other people so I guess it was worth it?

tripfags are gay

theres one

Unfortunately, you seem to misunderstand reaction images you retarded faggot. The image actually has to relate to the post you stupid retarded idiotic faggot.

this is exactly the kind of shit i'm talking about:

but I'm not here to learn

Another thing learned from Veeky Forums!

Thank you this faggot!
