I've been here since 13 and was mentally fucked when I started browsing. I'm now 27, a doctor and a millionaire due to a long term bitcoin hold in cold wallet since 2016/2017ish. My social skills have drastically improved, I'm fit, well dressed, attractive and have friends, hobbies and an active sex life. In my spare time I like to go clubbing, to the pub and just hang out with my friends.

I don't think I'm ever going to leave 4chan, when I'm in my forties I'll be spamming sneed while I'm waiting for my privately educated investment banker wife to bring the kids home from Eton college and when I'm in my sixties I'll probably be getting the private jets wifi banned from /tv/ for baiting the chuds.

I genuinely, unironically don't think this is too rare. Obviously the magnitude of my success is but the phenomenon of start browsing as a loser, stay for an over 10 years when someone can completely transform as a person then don't leave must be quite common.

There's also a huge, huge difference between browsing 4chan to post racist or homophobic shit, get triggered by children's movies and screech deliriously and browsing to post sneed and engage in time passing genuine convos about film.
