color me surprised

>>13980718
Get off R9K

>>13980718
stop using the internet. What ever social skills you think you gain here are worse then the atrophy of crazed solitude

>>13980727
Could you elab?
I'm trying to get out of there, If I want attention I'd go on there since I'm known there. I'd like to get back into reading, and be surrounded with more "normal" people. I just don't really know where to start.

>>13980718
Every time you get yourself into /r9k/, open a book and read a chapter. If the book doesn't get your attention after the first chapter, change it. I know it's not enough to know if a book is really worth it, but for someone who is starting you need to reprogram yourself before going deeper.
>You can do it

>>13980733
I'm off r9k, and they pretty much all hate me there already. It just felt like, the only place where I could talk with relatable people, where I could be myself. But everything has only went more downhill. Weird how much influence such place can have.

>>13980745
I'd not be able to do so, really. It's all I have at this point.

>>13980754
thank you, I appreciate it. The community here is so different. I would have to leave the house and get books, I've developed agoraphobia, and became a shut-in. Not sure how to do so. Also, my attention span is close to non existent. I've destroyed my brain.

>>13980718
Get off 4chan. This won't solve your problems but nevertheless this place is shit

>>13980718
/int/ is the best place to just browse. This place is awful and the only worthwhile thing you can get out of it is shitposting about things you already know a fair amount about.

>>13980718
Are you what one may refer to as an "incel"?

>>13980782
Nope, unironically I'm a girl, just mentally ill, but have been too active in their community.

>>13980780
Thank you for your advice. This place looked comfy though. I will take a look in /int/

>>13980774
I can't quit cold turkey. I'm trying to change boards first.

>>13980800
You won't improve much if you will just switch one board for another, limit your internet time, it's ruining your attention span. Force yourself to make reading a habit. Try reading a bit every day at around the same time. Start with just how many pages you can read without losing focus, even if it's just 5 pages. That's still 5 more than if you didn't read at all. And over time those 5 pages will turn to 10, 20, 50

>>13980800
You have to be approved by our queen, Butterfly, before you can become a citizen here.

>>13980815
There are a lot of mental problems that have to be addressed first. I've agoraphobia, so I am basically locked in my room. And being on r9k makes it worse hence a switch could be on a subconscious level beneficial. Thank you for advice, I will try to get back into reading. Is there anything you can recommend me?

>>13980847
>Is there anything you can recommend me?
I would recommend you checking the sticky, there's a link to a /lit/ wiki which has tons of charts on all kind of books. Don't get tricked into reading something you don't enjoy or have interest in, there are a lot of pretentious anons here that don't even read, you don't need to impress them. Focus on what you find interesting instead

>>13980800
>I can't quit cold turkey. I'm trying to change boards first.
I understand totally but this isn't the best place. It seems like a nice place but once you've made a note of all the interesting sounding books that this board mentions you begin to see /lit/ for what it is, a shitposting board with delusions of grandeur. Come by all means but keep your eye on the exit at all times.

>>13980800
Are you a middle aged lesbian? Because if so that role is already occupied by our queen, Butterfly.

>>13980866
yeah, I feel too dumb to be here. But you're right, delusions of grandeur play a role as well.

>>13980863
Thank you, I will take a look!

>>13980868
Haha, that made me laugh

>>13980718
care to extrapolate?

>>13980901
no, I'm 20 and don't date guys nor girls.

>>13980907
extrapolate? as in elaborate?

>>13980911
Okay that's fine. Now look at this image: This is who we worship here.

>>13980718
Help yourself

>>13980942
redpill me on this person anon

>>13980904
>yeah, I feel too dumb to be here.
Don't feel that way. Don't let literal who autists let you feel inferior. Hardly anybody here reads so if you read anything then you're already better than the vast majority of faggots here

>>13980949
I'm trying. There's a lot going on currently.

>>13980951
The most tedious autistic raving dyke that God put on this earth. Ignore.

>>13980956
kek, that made me smile. thank you

>>13980961
lol, care to elaborate anon?
you've made me curious

>>13980800
bobs please

>>13980718
Are you the one with the paste bin?

>>13980904
>yeah, I feel too dumb to be here
Why? Any specific posts that made you feel dumb?

>>13980956
>literal who autists
McCarthy and Bill Murray browse here too.

>>13980982
yeah, I guess we both mean the same one

>>13980951
>Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ (You will address her as Butterfly)
>big fan of Nietzsche and Stirner.
>has been here longer than 99% of all the newfags that disrespect her.
>posts are always original and contribute to discussion of literature

>>13980911
Butterfly may feel a bit threatened by a younger, more fertile set of ovaries in her territory - and we all know what happened to the last female who accidentally found herself in our fair land. Watch your back, femanon; our goddess’s wrath matches that of aegis-bearing Zeus.

>>13980992
>>13980993
LOL, tell me more about this.

>>13980987
I am just the problem, I haven't read much actual literature. I'd read books like 1984, the brave new world, oranges clockwork etc., which is nothing compared to the books that gets discussed here.

>>13980979
She's a tripfag called Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ (or Butterfly). Everything she types is infuriatingly banal and dense. She's been here for ages. She went away for a while and things were great. Then she came back. Incidentally /lit/ has been rapidly turning into "/tv/ for books" ever since
