to preface, i grew up pretty addicted to this thing. i can honestly say that i've spent a lot of time on here, more than i should have, instead of focusing on having a real life, real friends, real experiences.

when i was young, the internet was basically this cool place where you felt up to date with all the latest artistic and intellectual happenings. i loved going on omegle and early youtube, where things weren't so censored and creators felt more small and less celebrity-like. there was lots of gross out content, sensationalized music videos, cool online games, things like that. i remember watching youtube videos made out of presentation slides, often for presenting riddles or horror stories.

as i get older, and i'm about in my early 20's, i feel like the internet has started to feel more like "real life" in a way. i honestly can't really identify when things started to feel different. things feel more politicized and less lighthearted. sometimes i go on here and i just feel stressed for some reason. it's hard to tell if it's by design or if it was irrevocably inevitable. at this weird point in my life, i honestly wish i could go out and do more real things (and i do, but, not a lot), to finally break my addiction from the web.

what have your guys' experiences been like with the internet? i also can't tell whether i'm just growing up, maybe the internet still feels like this magical place for young people on it, or if there are bigger things happening to the online space that's shifting our modern relationship with it. and hey, i guess it would be a good thing if i could finally break my 20-ish year long addiction with this thing.

It is one of the most annoying problems on the internet. The blatant grifting and content farming these youtubers do. The youtuber pads out videos a lot of time to begin with and on top it they spend a minute promoting garbage. It is pure pain.

I find it kind of absurd when the "spend a minute promoting garbage" part for example happens while you're watching a serious documentary about human rights violations in China and the host shifts gears to promote NordVPN, a fully automatic wallet, sketchy cryptos or mobile games, right after he shows footage of a truck crushing school children, but honestly before we get further into that I just wanted to tell you about this amazing project I recently found out about, an undervalued asset called the 22chan Token! Understand that this isn't financial advice but I truly believe this token has a lot of potential. With a team made up of fully anonymous CATs, a revolutionary roadmap that promises catnapping where you let your tokens sleep to earn more, fish farming because obviously cats need a steady supply of fish, and even a potential metaverse cat café where you can pet NFT kittens-LISTEN!!! this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get in early before the fat cats start accumulating. The best part is that this 22chan token isn't just another meme coin but it's backed by real utility that is set to disrupt the entire Web3 landscape by introducing a new paradigm of decentralized feline content creation. Whether you're a indie gator artist, a water-melon farmer in the digital economy or just a nigga who loves trading cat-themed JPEGs this project is tailor-made for nyuu! Some say it could even rival BTC in the coming years!

Don't you sometimes feel like you don't enjoy anything anymore? Playing games, posting, shitposting, creating something or even basic stuff like eating become a bothering hassle. I usually get waves of this from time to time, but it's been happening too often lately. Nothing brings me actual satisfaction, I spend most of my day either sleeping or daydreaming of how it'd be great to enjoy shit. This is probably temporal like all other times and I have nothing clinical, but I wanted to know if any of you felt like this and knew of ways to cope or go back to your old self. Also describe your own experiences and frustrations with your current situation if you feel like it

Not to further derail this into a conversation about religions and politics but I can't even be bothered to listen to Bertrand Comparet's audio book interpretation of the Bible (which is if you're wondering about correcting the mistranslations put in by members of Rabbinic Judaism: https://archive.org/details/CPM_DSCI_Archive_Comparet) because my mind fades away into another direction the moment it gets the chance (mainly video games, imageboards, and pornography), and so I seriously have started to wonder how people many hundreds years ago people could keep their attention span and motivation to read something like the entirety of the bible. I remember listening in on a interview on the Tucker Carlson about Martin Shkreli who said that he read around 100's of books while in jail for securities fraud and conspiracy because he had all the time in the world with no distractions: https://youtu.be/NeyN3Jzdzz0?t=2104 [Play] and https://youtu.be/NeyN3Jzdzz0?t=2378 [Play]

I think in the ages past that life was such a pain - no anaesthetic for surgery, no germ theory, no electricity etc. - that simply reading a book was a luxury. I think we take it for granted how easy it is to be bored. I think surrounded by cold and dark and pain and hunger you'd find any sort of escapism whatsoever to be utterly engrossing.
Just my thoughts.

Hopefully it isn't ruining your plans for this moment. I haven't gotten truly sick in a long time but it must feel bad not being able to do the things you want to do. Migraines make me feel powerless when it happens to me.

A stressful life sometimes requires you to take a break. Over these last few weeks, I've expected my stress levels to wane significantly, but my stress levels haven't reduced as much as I've wanted. As far as my current stress goes, it mostly comes from work and personal drama I do not have much control over. In my current situation, I have learned that I shouldn't let my life grind me down, and I must find a way to relax no matter how busy I am. An incredibly hectic life certainly needs to be combated in some way. What can you do to rest your mind, 22chan?

live in an area with a pretty bad homeless/drug problem
lots of drunk guys hanging around the local third-rate pubs they love so much

walking home one day
see two of them outside one of those places
one guy standing there with a beer and a cig
the other dude, younger guy, is face down on the tarmac
arm twisted under his stomach, not moving
looks like he's either blackout drunk at best or straight-up overdosing

slowly walk toward them to see what's up
standing guy immediately starts waving me off like >nah nah, we're good
ask him
>You guys alright? Need me to call someone?
guy just says
>We're fine, don’t need anything

walk away thinking
>Yeah, this isn't gonna end well
standing guy was giving off some serious asshole vibes
like bro, your friend is dying on the ground and you're just standing there smoking, waving away anyone who might actually help
I have been always told to look after my drinking buddies...what's wrong with those people?

There is no doubt that 2023 will be an interesting year. One thing is for sure, 22chan is back after an unintended hiatus. But in this thread, I decided to make one of my posts from the Q&A thread a thread. For me, 2023 will be better because I will be more self-aware. Having an understanding of my life has helped. How do you think 2023 will be for you in general?

>I didn't try, but at the end of the day, normalfags won't care if you aren't exactly like them
Yeah, that's why I said "best you can do". You can't reveal your power level to a normalfag because the relationship would be ruined so it wouldn't really be an actual friendship. And like >>276 said, online friends don't guarantee anything either because you're dealing with the opposite side of the spectrum of difficulties, you simply have better odds in that due to the easiness of just writing text from anywhere instead of meeting people face to face.
The last thing you will have in this struggle is an easy time, you surely know that already, but finding something good is possible, you just have to keep pulling on the life gacha until you are lucky enough to get it. That's what it all boils down to: Being in the correct place at the correct time with the correct strangers.

Yes, online/imageboard friendships are very difficult to maintain. I had to learn it the hard way. There are some "normie" I hate that word, as well as power level, f that people who are my best and most loyal friends who like me and treat me well, and vice versa. That is the most important thing.

It is an unfortunate fact of life that you talk with normalfags. Normalfags like to see us as incorrect on every occasion. This thread will document the stupid things they say. You can provide contexts where needed. I'll start with one stupid thing a normalfag said.
"it is all about your mindset"
I found that stupid because the guy was bullying the coworker to whom he said it. If you are going to say a platitude, be consistent.

You just might be completely missing the point of that statement. How would you like it if you browsed an imageboard, which let's say you primarily browse for all other topics like anime, video games, and just fun things in general to escape from reality, and the moment you open the website and go to /all/, you see a flood of negative posts from /yu/ talking about how fucking shit their day was? A minority of the threads on the website completely dominate the front page most of the time, and you're not even allowed to hide their posts because hiding posts here is something that the staff don't like as it creates future problems. There are so many places like this on the internet, specifically imageboards, which are primarily dedicated to the discussion of /yu/. You can't even differentiate one from another, where people revel in their depression with each other, which are almost never happy feelings. The reason /yu/ does attract the worst normal-nigger crowd is that the topic at hand allows everyone from around the worldwide web to participate in it, even non-imageboard users like that evangelical street preacher who came out of nowhere and just couldn't stop spreading to everyone the name of God to deal with their problems.
I don’t know whether I’d ever agree with actually removing the /yu/ board because I do understand that there might be some value to it not found in any other place, and for some, these /yu/ conversations are the only reason they come here in the first place so maybe removing them would lower the activity here even more or maybe even cause an opposite effect who knows... However, I will say that a lot of anons here dedicate a great deal of time and effort to creating very interesting fun threads that could foster meaningful discussions. Now imagine being one of them, seeing all this creativity and energy get drowned out by a constant barrage of negativity to the /yu/ threads while their thread flies off of the bump order. Think about it, if even a chunk of that time spent moaning about daily bullshit was shifted to participating in these more constructive threads, we could actually make something worthwhile happen around here.

How do you anons handle the holidays? Any stories or memories you care to share? As for me, I aim for an extra comfy day every time a holiday comes because if I achieve this I will remember the day forever. Many things can be stressful, so I try not to stress myself out. Last year, I remember getting off work early for work and then being sick on new years eve and new years day.

It's been wet and warm and windy. Snow will come, but for now I'm enjoying puddles and rain on the rooftop. I have been drinking tea and cocoa. This year's tree is one I planted probably around 2005. Got too big, it's pushing against other trees and kinda blocks an electrical box. It's twice the height of my ceiling, so I cut it in half. The bottom half goes right up to the ceiling and pushes against it. I put the top half right up against it to help fill out. It's a big sloppy mess, but might be my favorite christmas tree ever.

During a discussion today my siblings were talking about how they get excited for Christmas and when they heard I don't get excited for chrims I was told I am cynical. I don't know if I am being cynical actually but I don't want to stress about something that should be enjoyed. Keeping chrims to chrims makes things better for me. I don't understand how I am cynical.

If you focus on the negative you're labeled as cynical, even if just for the sake of conversation, simple as that. Also, you're not explaining yourself particularly well as I have no idea what you mean by "keeping chrims to chrims". You shouldn't stress about christmas; it's about joy and good will. Something's stressing you? block it out; It's the best time of the year, the one time you can bid farewell to your neighbours "merry christmas" and have it mean something. It's so simple to say and wish unto others, but it's special all the same.

I saw this quote: "happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions". It's a
very simple statement, yet it resonated with me all the same. What is being happy? It's possible to be perfectly stable in life but still not be happy and I want to explore that. I know there's mindless happiness, stuff that's enjoyable on a basic instinctual level, (e.g. eating good food or watching your favorite show) but anything besides that has become a challenge to achieve. It really got me thinking when I realized that others whom you can say "happiness comes easy to" may not be that way just because of their attitude, but that their circumstances, what they spend their time on, can be a factor as well. I thought about how you can have a lifestyle that actively reinforces your happiness, and one where being happy can feel like a chore, where people, too exhausted to try, would rather lay in bed than do something, anything, enjoyable; Therefore, you can say that achieving happiness, by requiring more concentrated effort, is more of a challenge to some than for others regardless of their character.
I've personally felt this. Lately I've been caught up in trying to do things that give me some kind of sense of accomplishment, but in doing so I've been getting more stressed when I'm being lazy, essentially becoming unable to relax. Like when a meticulously planned idea just doesn't go through, I'm spending a lot of time now fretting about trying to be happy.

Having an optimistic attitude is another thing I'd like to touch on, because I've tried for as long as I can remember to have one, but it still falters occasionally.
What I'd like to ask you all is: How do you feel about your own happiness? Do you ever try to force it or does it come easy to you? and how do you rationalize it if at all? What can we do to find meaningful happiness in a life where the longer you go on the less you want to try?

I've had a bit of an epiphany. To sum it up in a sentence, It feels much better, and is healthier to set many short term goals instead of focusing wholly on a single long term one. If you feel steadily accomplished, that momentum will carry you and your willpower over a lot of mental hurdles. So much of it is your state of mind; you just have to remember to keep it under control.
