/hell/ - internet death cult

nice! i have done that as well. the only habit disturbing my peace is compulsive posting but i am working on it. enjoy life op!!

I did this about 1 year ago. Pushed most all friends and family away, under the assumption that I would be more happy not having these weird social obligations and rules I can't understand well enough. Always leaving me feeling awful after just about any interactions. I don't think I'm happier, but my life is simpler.

Oh was it rude that I didn't remember to bring up X when I was talking to them. Oh I haven't actually ever tried to talk to this person of my own volition. Oh I actually don't know what it feels like to like someone, every person is just tolerable.

Bar my parent and one friend with who we can, and have naturally stopped talking for a over a year come back to it and it's like nothing changed.

Very cute artist. Thanks for posting.

Recover for what?

Solitude is like a drug, it can bring you closer to yourself or god, but it will also take you further away from anyone your ever knew in person. Cut off your internet too! This will protect you from disruptive influences on your venture into the yet unknown.

It's to emotionally disconnect myself. I was holding onto some people too strongly. I need to be distant, it's very important for my self-preservation, otherwise they could hurt me and stuff.
I think I'm getting better already, I feel like I'm distant enough now that I wouldn't be too hurt if they died or left me, even my lover.

I did that a week ago, haven't really thought of them since.

Same, for the twentieth time.

I blocked 90% of the internet, all social medias, reddit, 4chan and porn sited 3d and 2d. Now I can finally feel calm and no more anxiety.
I only post in less well known imageboards and use youtube, peace and tranquility.

Mods better spoiler this post. It's uncomfy religious imagery.

EDIT: Sure!

I'm in the process of doing this myself.

Seems reasonable. I think my mental health recovered massively once I stopped being online so much heh. Dunno what's up with that, I think there are just some unhealthy patterns in my head which are mostly connected with other people. Some solitary activities are totally fine.

I have been doing the same desu, it really is heaven

Same. Well, still on Buddhist Twitter but my algorithm is great. If there was a small imageboard for that I'd use it instead.

It can be like social equivalent of suboxone I've sometimes said. I cut myself off cold turkey once, but then I had nothing to do and just sat around and eventually went crazy. Now I take it in moderation. I love online chat and communities

I never feel as though my friends even like me. Even while looking at my multiple unread messages notifications, I think they're fed up with me so I don't read them nor respond. Then I ghost everyone I know every few months. I'm completely unloveable. The world would be better if I didn't interact with it.

I wish I have learned to say no and cut people off a decade ago. It's time to heal and rebuild.

Keeping several diaries really helps. I'll talk about what I do. One of them is for recording daily events and how I felt that day as objectively as I can. The other is for how I wish my days to be, where I failed and how can I improve that situation later. The third is a gratitude journal, I only record positive feelings and good things about my life. The fourth only has bullet point actionable items for the next day. The fifth is a reading journal that I record statements that felt profound to me, I'm reading a lot of classics these days. I spend around an hour and a half on my journals and treat that as a therapy session.

This really helped reduce my exposure to internet and bad people a lot. I grew a hunch to reflexively filter purely bad (evil) signals and instead give myself constructive criticism where appropriate, and all of that freed up a ton of mental space for enjoying my little niche in life. When I started writing down my goals, getting up from bed and just doing things became a lot easier as I'm no longer living without direction and largely influenced by fuzzy bad feelings that I try to clamp down with destructive habits.

I hope reading all of this helps with your journey.
