I can't believe I know imageboards for half my life. Being an eternal newfag means I still would have heard about imageboards from second-hand sources (the type of people who treat this as a joke or platform for spreading hatred) but maybe I wouldn't have become a perma NEET. I do feel sorry about missing out on the internet when it was actually magical, but then again it's my fault for not trying to use more than a dozen websites daily(but I would love if search engines weren't censored garbage). Imageboards used to be chaotic and disturbing yet the right place for lost individuals.

I wanted to run a /poll/ asking about Kissu's user ages but thought people might not like to share that information. I was taught to be self censoring by older extended family and while I had unsupervised internet access from an early age, didn't really participate in internet communities until around 2009. Nevertheless I was exposed to tasteful randomness, classic memes, Homestar Runner etc thanks to my older cousin's influence and the websites I did visit at that time.

I used to be embarrassed about how young I was compared to others on imageboards but now there's people who I've got a decade or more on and it somewhat makes me feel more comfortable. But I'll never get rid of the fact that I spent most of my years lurking forums where I was too shy to post before eventually settling on 4chan in 2011 when I realized I kinda enjoyed posting if I could do it Anonymously.

The crazy thing is when I think about it now if I'd been more active and actually used forums instead of lurking back when I thought my accounts would be too new to matter and I'd be bullied for it, now they would've given me a good deal of seniority over most others. But I'm also fine with that, since in the process of not having a forum presence I also didn't leave a paper trail that connects back to myself and I can live freely and anonymously on the net.

I had an IRL encounter where a person blatantly asked me "Do you use 4chan or reddit". I answered "reddit?" because it sounded more civilized but the factors in this dangerous question were the hatred the person had for whatever she thought imageboards are(I was already years past my 4chan phase) and the disgust towards anonymity, and the disgust towards me. I do believe that it was the 3DPD speaking rather than an individual will directed at objectivity; I'm reminded that there are few people alive who love objects more than people and it doesn't stop at introverts. It's this type of bootlicker pseudo-sentimentalist mindset which makes a sterilized internet possible where nobody gets a permission to voice their opinion unless they are perfect citizens looking at their smartphone for validation every two minutes.

Imageboards are a key factor in getting a young soul desensitized. It's quite bizarre to hear people have a conversation about violent events from 2018 or '19 that shocked the public, when you previously witnessed the same topics getting discussed and ridiculed in a manner that would strip a person of their rights if they said those things publically.

I believe in a parallel universe where imageboard users are absolutely required to be addicted to image boards(boorus). If I was in the hospital and had three hours left to live, I would still browse my favorite tags images on a booru or pixiv.

Once I learned how to use boorus, I haven't spent a day without browsing them, unless I'm not home for some reason. When I came back home from a field trip, literally the first thing I would do is looking at the new pages on danbooru and saving the results. I was in middle school when it blew my mind that tags like twincest exist. But I do wish there were more images with cuddling, hugging and other cute non-sex(but maybe I have overlooked yuri). It would be a dream to create a museum for the very best selection from the greatest artists of all time like e.g. ke-ta. And maybe a backshed for the greatest of imageboard posts. Only the finest connoisseurs would enter those shrines.

I take it you're not happy NEETing? In that case, I doubt you chose this on purpose, I'm sure you have your reasons. No need to beat yourself up over it, you're probably trying your best in your own way. Even if that can be hard for yourself or others to recognise.
My problems are entirely emotional and I wish I could just turn off my anxiety to do the things I need to do. I've struggled with one task for over a year now. Turning my frustration into self-hatred hasn't helped me at all... I've gotten a bit further after being kind to myself. Now I just need to keep going.

I am a full NEET and it sure as hell beats going to school or w*rk. Being forced to wake up early, forced to do stuff I don't want to do, and interacting with people way more than what my introversion wants me to made me feel like a cynical depressed sack of shit at times.

The only thing I'm reading are anime subtitles and a few websites here and there. Even wikipedia bores me. Plus I haven't been to an eye doctor for eight years. And it's embarrassing to suck at a first priority language.
>I can relate to that one, I can't leave my house during the day without sunglasses in the summer. It's too bright, my eyes are very dry from staring at screens all day and I'd be wandering around squinting the whole time.
My outside outfit is pic related. At least I can hide from 80% of the eyes. Even if it's just harmless, irrelevant people.
>I suck at both of those, I still need to work on that.
It took me more than a year to find the right techniques. And often it felt more tedious than fun.
>I take it you're not happy NEETing?
I don't care about being a NEET but my demons do. Reading about skills and successes from NEETs and ex-NEETs makes me feel even less worthy of a human being. I had expectations about life and I'm not there. Those called milestones never to be achieved. A loser amongst losers. But at least I'm not in bad company. And all 24h belong to myself. And many normal things shouldn't be normal or even outlawed in a civilized ideal world so maybe I'm not crazy for having unfairly high standards (on top of failing everything).

Imageboards attract certain types of dregs but I'd much rather post alongside anons than the two-faced absolutely fucking fake insincere subhumanity that dwells in social media.
