I often wonder how some of the users that seem to post at all hours of the day have the time for the great social lives they claim to have Other than that not really I suspect most of us here are NEET and/or Incels with massive delusions of grandeur. _Rinku_ posted... I wonder if any of us actually play video games anymore. not near as much as we shit post lol EdgeMaster posted... No, not really. If I was curious, its been explained for me. Theres a guy who works at a buffet, Hoth collects shopping carts at Costco when he isnt making alts, nearly everyone who wants a universal basic income or pulls the live with roommates card or makes topics about finances or college doesnt have a degree, lives with their parents, and makes $20k per year before taxes. Theres some posters in the shadows who probably lead normal lives and have higher education, and while I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume they made an account at 13-15 because they enjoyed video games and now have different things going on in life (as I did...) it becomes very apparent that a very large portion of CE leads miserable lives and has a very poor understanding of how the world works. I have a gut feeling this is disturbingly accurate, not only of the people here but really in most parts of the anonymous web(though probably more so because there is a quasi close nit community of regulars compared to the vast endless emptiness of a place like reddit). I can't imagine this website, or posting online a lot, is healthy for one's general state of well being. There are many studies that point to this, but perhaps the most damning is the fact that the brilliant minds that gave us social media forbid their children from using it. The confession threads that appear every now and then are also really telling. pres_madagascar posted... I work a lot, sleep a lot. Used to have a pretty active social life until this passed year, where essentially everyone I knew got significant others and stopped hanging out. I've been alone for months, and now my own family here in Arizona, where I moved to actually help them, have gotten too good for me. My mental health has gotten worse, and I've never seen more clearly about how my life really is. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about wanting to die. I won't do it, but I sure as shit think about it every day. I moved 1800 miles four years ago, and it's basically been for nothing. I'm worse off now than before I left. Being alone 99% of my time and completely unappreciated just makes me hate life. I feel for you, and thanks for the honest post. This post is probably how most of us here really are. I think we all come here out of some kind of addiction and comfort in our misery. We know the usual people who post in the usual ways and fight in the usual manners like some kind of crazy quasi anonymous dysfunctional family. Even the most hated people like Hoth, are really just that one relative you can't stand but you still keep them around because that's what family does right? <cite>kayoticdreamz posted [p:913513678] in do you eve...
