So I’m pretty sure most of you guys also came from reddit. Or at least, a majority of you did. So I think you all understand how addictive it can be. I’m not going to lie, in the past few years I really liked to go up every now and then to troll stupid and harmful people. But lately, I realised it’s all a waste of time because it’s not like I can actually hurt them - I mean I did manage to hurt them but only because they were dumb enough, but it’s not like I can actually “”act upon my judgement”” or any other cringe thing an edgelord can think about. But yeah, I’ve grown tired of negativity, and I want to be a… wholesome person, I think. But sometimes when relaxing, I get the urge to hop back on Reddit to troll some people just because, which I don’t want. I mean don’t misunderstand me, I didn’t entirely gave up on Reddit bc I still have an account there and I do go up if I want to see gaming shit or anything related to my niche interest, I’m just avoiding some specific subreddits. So what should I do? Does anyone else have similar feelings as I do?

    You probably mean well, but this sort of “advice” annoys me. It says what to do but not how to do it. Almost like explaining it would be as hard for the advice giver as it would be for the recipient to implement it, revealing what a sham it really is. It’s practically a heckle. “Boooo! Git gud!”

      Yeah this post was low effort as well. It’s easier to assist people who clearly want to make effort and have their head wrapped around it a bit but to attempt to hand somebody all of this while they’ve got a half-assed writeup and lazy ideas, the best I’ve got is to continue refining oneself and ones focus.

      This is the same as addicts discussing sobriety without them actually being prepared or willing, it’s a fuckin waste

        I’m literally sticking to avoiding Reddit and drama on it tho. That doesn’t mean that sometimes I don’t wish to go back
