No

Of course, being chronically online fucks up your social life but I found that my ability to interact with random people has actually improved.

 

[alurmo]

absolutely not
i was better off socially before
I was not as sensitive and self conscious

 

[ICXCLuvr]

no but it opened my mind to people like jesters maxxers

I realize I'm in the minority here.
I guess I'm able to make the dissociation between real and online life.
I.e. I'm not hyper-sensitive about facial features or height when I go outside.

 

[sham66]

no, with random people i used to be much more social and low inhib. however, for ppl i already am close with nah it didnt affect anything

 

[Suns9999]

Could you have asked a stupider question

 

[我需要阴部]

It's low-key made me come to peace that it's mostly over for me. I don't bother making friends or trying to get girls anymore just do my own thing.

I feel happy kind off now lol.

Actually made a few friends because of this.

[eternalcoper]

[Godera]

A bit

Lol, no...why would it, if anything it would make more inhibited, since now you know all that matters are looks, and if you don't have them, no amount of confidence, personality and speaking skills will compensate for lacking in the looks department...

 

[Snicket]

I know the question sounds absurd!
But it helped me for some bizarre reason.

No, it's done absolutely nothing. Nothing good and nothing bad.

Why do you think it was because of this site?

obviously no

 

[Snicket]

Why do you think it was because of this site?

On this site, I talk about a pretty massive range of topics and often get into arguments with other users.
I guess I'm getting a lot of practice in thinking points through and articulating them in a clear way.
So maybe it's helped my communication skills more than anything else

nope

antisocial before i joined this forum

antisocial to this day

 

[Snicket]

Maybe it's helped because my outlook is a bit different.

I think a lot of users here suffer from prolonged isolation and extreme introvertism, which is more damaging than looks.

 

[Darkeningstar]

Yes

 

[Snicket]

Yes

We're obviously in a very small minority here. How has it helped you?

 

[sigmamogger]

Made it worse

 

[albanianblackguy]

yes in my case, dunno why but it made me care less for what people irl think

 

[Deleted member 140624]

I think i experienced real life halo and failo effect
Before i joined i was led to false belief that people actually like me and dont hate me behind back for 2 years straight and during that time i felt amazing, guys would often compliment and tell i got nice arms or shit. or compliment when i get haircut and fit. Even chadlet tried introducting me to feamle friends of his 2 times alr and i left

Then i realized they all lied and pitied me and blackpill was truth the second i called them out on their asshole acts and now suddenly everyone mocks me, im autistic and ugly. Same fake friends ask me and tell me i look pale and dead

 

[Darkeningstar]

We're obviously in a very small minority here. Why do you think that is?

Age undoubtedly plays an important role, adolescent malleability prevents filtering out usable information from useless information and this leads to much confusion.
In addition, some logistical factors

 

[Darkeningstar]

I have improved in small talk for example

 

[Snicket]

Yes, this is what I'm talking about.
It has improved small, everyday social interactions for me.
