Serious in retrospect I feel like I was irreversibly psychologically scarred by having unlimited internet access at a young age

I started browsing the internet and using it as my primary form of social interaction in like 2012, when I was really really young. looking back on it I think this has had an overwhelmingly negative effect on me

being actively exposed to all the serious/toxic/dramatic/sexual/etc elements of internet social groups, generally composed of teenagers/adults who have dysfunctional personalities irl, is just too much at once for someone that young. I was completely isolated from people my age (initially due to awkwardness and autism and later just from being homeschooled) which amplified the issue. I genuinely think that aspect of my development fucked me up mentally more than my inceldom, at least in regards to being able to relate to/socialize with people irl.

there were some benefits to it I guess. it gave me a lot of experience in articulating and writing out my thoughts for one, more than most people get in their lifetime. but overall I feel like being socialized near exclusively by the internet has given me an extremely pessimistic view on life and completely fucked my ability interact with people normally or even engage with irl social situations. can anyone else relate?

tbh my fondest childhood memories are before I discovered online forums and shit, when I was just a kid who liked to watch dragon ball z and play on the nintendo DS. very fun, innocent times. I look back on those days very fondly and feel like I was, in large part, robbed of them. it's sad to me how many people in gen z will end up going through a similar experience, given how ubiquitous mobile devices and the internet are now
 
I was soically awkward as a kid way before I got on the internet. I remember in preschool I used to pull my chair to the back so I wouldn't sit next to anyone cuz I thought no one wanted to sit next to me. I was always obssessed with that sorta thing. I think the internet just allowed me to be content enough to stop trying for a while
 
mentally incapacitated by lonely internet years
 
Funny. I too got unlimited access to internet around that time(2012-2013). I do believe it has mentally fucked me up. But, I was already in college around that time. And I was never social even on the internet. Never joined forums, chats, social media or any of that shit. I am just heavily asocial

I can only imagine the impact this could have had on the mental status of someone who got it way younger. I genuinely believe my iq has dropped by 10 points in the last 10 years

You didn't get it as bad then ngl. By the time you are around the age you go to uni you know how to process and discern information you read pretty well tbh

If you focus on meme culture and celebrity gossip and meaningless internet drama then yeah. Otherwise the internet like any piece of technology is a tool that can be used productively to learn new things or just for coping and passing the time idly.

Man this cuts deep. The belief that no one wants to sit with you is way worse than the reality of the situation itself

I grew up TOO self conscious. I think my intelligence and awareness as a kid is what made me develop these anxieties. I still always feel no one wants to talk to me which Is why I always engage on either a public forum, or just through conflict.

Would you say you were mentally crippled by lonely teen years?

It's just this, trust me.
 
you think that if your parents blocked everything but runnescape when you were a child you would have came out a normie+ tier individual?
ill let you know- that my parents blocked internet porn for me until I was 16, not to mention sites like 4chan and reddit

:shhh:

lmao no. Did you even read the thread? Nigga started using the internet in fucking 2012. That right there tells you all you need to know
So shii is like 17 or something?
 
The internet is no place for kids or teens. Their minds are too raw and unknowing to where they can be easily manipulated. Especially by entities with their own self-interest.

However for outcasts like ourselves, it's a form of escape. Not like the physical world is better, but at least with the internet you have more of a selection/find content that appeals to you. If you're stuck with normie retards without the internet, you're basically fucked.
