Things are not as bad as the internet will make you think
>research has found that people are 16x as likely to report a negative story as a positive story. You are getting a massive negativity ratio.

>Only around 12% of people use the internet for socializing in an anonymous manner. That means, posting on things like reddit, 4chan, or twitter. Normal people aren't on these places and don't hold the kinds of opinions you encounter.

>The internet is also a vector for sociological demoralization propaganda

Stop watching porn
>Over 50 neuroscience studies find that porn has neurobiological effects similar to substance addiction. It will give you general worsened cognitive function and emotional health. Quitting will completely reverse the negative effects in about a year.

Stop browsing the internet
>Over 250 neuroscience studies, an absolute mountain, have found negative effects on the brain from browsing the internet too much. Worsened attention span, working memory, 'scene construction' (the abililty to keep track of things and events in relation to eachother), increase in depression, and emotional desensitization.

How to quit using the internet:
I don't want to get too deep into the neurocognitive mechanics but basically, what makes the internet addictive is
>rapid context changing (going from one thing to another frequently)
>endless novelty (there's an endless ocean of unseen content)
>rapid, repetitive, instant, low-effort rewords, you can just hit f5 and get new content indefinitely.

So what you want to avoid are
>feeds
>recommendations/suggestions/links being shown to you
>comment sections

*YOU CAN DISABLE ALMOST ALL OF THOSE THINGS NOWADAYS*
There is a MASSIVE ecosystem of browser add-ons and proxy sites that will remove all the addictive elements from various social media sites. For example I use Unhook for youtube. It completely removes the video recommendations on the side panel and on the home page, removes all comments, etc.
