My psychiatrist told me I should stop coming here after I started explaining the role Sup Forums plays in my life

>My psychiatrist told me I should stop coming here after I started explaining the role Sup Forums plays in my life
>She said it's not healthy to spend so much time discussing the topics I told her we talk about here

Is she right? Should I leave?

anotehr day wasted

What the heck? What did you say to her exactly?

Tell it's just banter

>she

Honestly considering doing that desu

I'll just block all boards besides the hobby ones.

I started explaining to her the typical threads in the catalog here and she kind of cut me off midway and told me to reconsider spending time here and asked me if I was doing the thinking exercises she gave me last week as well as continuing to take my medication.

have you been to /sci/?
it is as edgy if not worse than Sup Forums
and not that much science there

How do I escape Greece?

>female psychiatrist
for fuck sake lad what are you doing? Get a male one immediately

She also looked shocked and told me I should think about the benefits and negatives of coming here before our next meeting.

Not really sure what to do.

Well clearly you did the only thing you could do. You came immediately back here and resumed shitposting.

i abstained for about a week or two after a week long vacation. eventually i came back and now i spend even more time here.

I have a full time job and I'm in school part time and I still find hours of time to spend here every day.

If you don't know how to ignore all the shitpost you will definitely go crazy. This applies to every board.
Are you a neet, don't you have any hobby?

what threads exactly?

Listen up, leaf. What exactly did you tell this quack?

here are the threads i posted in. can you ask her if i am ok?
nothing shameful on that list. r-r-right?

I started telling her about the Jorge threads, greek threads, homosexuality threads, how a lot of people here are depressed and some other ones. She was mostly concerned with me reading threads by depressed people and told me to avoid those.

I told her there's always people asking for advice on how to get girlfriends of different ethnicities and she told me to stop that as well.

forgot pic

She has a point desu, nothing good will come of making a bunch of depressed losers your peers when you don't have to

Jesus man, I could never bring myself to explain the autism of Sup Forums to a normie. Especially not my shrink.

I'm glad you came to us for a second opinion.

I highly recommend you cease seeing this psychiatrist immediately. This board is your home now. Part of who you are.

Explain feminine penis to her.

she just doesn't get it. what if shes here now out of curiosity?

Same. I think that's because once you start telling that to someone, you will kinda listen to yourself be like wtf.

The worst was when I started explaining how a Spanish guy keeps making threads about admiring Elliot Rodger(she explained me to elaborate who he was) and his receding hairline, obsession with being short, wanting to commit violent acts against his parents/innocent women.

She looked very frightened. I think she might have even thought I was talking about myself in third person.

you need to explain shitposting to her so things make a little more sense

Yeah, this does it. Removing Sup Forums from bookmarks, history and Sup Forums-x navigation bar.

The other boards are basically the same except the ones that are pure middle school autism. Better to just quit Sup Forums entirely

>telling them about Sup Forums

but nah this place is awful and the less time spent here the better 2bh

Why do you do this? Everytime you take Sup Forums so seriously.

I think that's a wise choice. She told me to take a piece of paper and write how Sup Forums POSITIVELY influences my life in at least 5 ways and how it NEGATIVELY affects my life in 5 ways.

Kind of struggling to think of the positive ways

Yeah you're probably right. Why DO we come here?

lmao, this is gold. Why the fuck would you discuss the threads you participate in with someone irl? Did you also tell her about your 2d girlfriend?

It could be worse OP. I'm 36. In fact I believe we've had this conversation before.

Tell her about sopa de macaco or >Argentina >white yet?

better than never talking to anyone
helping me learn moon
found about lots of interesting shows, games, and travel destinations
actually funny sometimes

>travel destinations
I share your attraction to the cool places often discussed here but how many have you actually visited because of Sup Forums? 0, for me.

>better than never talking to anyone
Arguable, plus I think it's not really an either-or situation. The other ones you said don't really apply to me.

For the Negative list I have:
>Wastes my time
>Makes me angry to see the same threads everyday
>Depressing sometimes
>Gives me very biased and skewed views of the world

I lurk /trv/ semi-regularly. Never made the decision to go somewhere because of what I read but planning vacations is its own kind of fun

You mean you take the memes seriously? You'd better tell your shrink it's even worse than she thought.

>never heard of this spanish poster
>have no idea who elliot roger is

5 pros:
>unlike IRL, easy to talk with strangers
>high traffic, lots of yous quickly, instant gratification
>can larp as someone else (different nationality, age, gender). not sure if that's a pro though
>can practice foreign languages and talk to people from different countries
>good feeling after having a good thread without insults/banter/shitting on each other

No but I told her about there's a few Turkish people and Americans who make regular threads calling White people subhuman and talking about how they wish to kill them while dumping their 200+ image folder of White people being assaulted or cuckolded in pornography.

I could see her face start trembling, and I'm worried I might have offended her.

what's her diagnosis for you user? Depression, Autism? I was prescribed fluoxetine once a lot of years ago but never took it as I thought the withdrawal symptoms would be worse. I just got a job and slowly started socializing with people. I think every single person has issues deep down, even the normies

I suspect you are lying.

lol what's wrong with you? they're gonna put you in a asylum

she meant stop coming to her office

you're here forever

Those are all cons though.
>5 pros:
>>unlike IRL, easy to talk with strangers
That does not carry over into talking IRL though.
>>high traffic, lots of yous quickly, instant gratification
That doesn't seem healthy
>>can larp as someone else (different nationality, age, gender). not sure if that's a pro though
Seems like a negative
>>can practice foreign languages and talk to people from different countries
I guess this is good
>>good feeling after having a good thread without insults/banter/shitting on each other
True but very rare

>fluoxetine
what's that for?

back then I was suffering from mild panic attacks

Depressed and Anxiety. She believes my other issues are caused by my environment or personality so her protocol for me so far is low dose medication and a lot of thinking/meditating exercises

>every single person has issues deep down, even the normies
I've wondered about this before, like if I come to Sup Forums to gratify some Jungian other part of myself. My daily life is depressing but otherwise very ordinary.

So essentially you are saying, if the only pro is this
>can practice foreign languages and talk to people from different countries
why don't we join some kind of a foreign language forum and chat with people there, right? So basically why Sup Forums?

I'm thinking about that now actually. This place doesn't seem very healthy as I reflect more on it.

>So basically why Sup Forums?
Better memes.

memes are unironically a good way to immerse and understand other cultures better

1. Good place to discuss your problems with people who can relate
2. Makes you feel less alone/ weird since you know theres other people like you out there
3. Memes
4. You can learn about other cunts with out actually having to visit their terrible cunts
5. Benis:DD

The main reason I prefer complete anonymity is I don't want anyone to know which other posts are mine. What would a shrink think about that? What does that tell him about me? On a separate note, being a namefag on a board with flags kinda defeats that purpose. But there are a few of them here, even small counts with only 2-3 posters. So apparently it doesn't bother them so they are here for a different reason.

1. OP needs actual friends.
2. I feel more alone with every year that I continue to waste here. I'm on my 11th.
3. Zero good can ever come of memes.
4. This place just makes me racist.
5. I'll give you this one. It's a valid point.

It's so true... maybe I really should leave this place, guys. It does me so much more harm than good.

Well.
See you, space cowboy.

but you've been creating this and similar threads for months or maybe years. so you are essentially larping. one of the cons we just defined :D
so it is a vicious circle.

See you tomorrow faggot.

you have been too jaded to appreciate irl human conversation or other internet forums, you'll be back

This is the first time I've made this thread.

No I'm going to leave. She's right you guys are a negative influence on me.

Of course we are, but you'll be back anyway.

No I'm going to leave

Frogposters like you belong in a cross

Yeah that's what you keep saying, and I don't believe you.
