I am addicted to doomscrolling and it’s ruining my life. The misogyny and beauty standards online are so vitriolic right now; it affects me deeply so I should just unplug right? yet I’m more online than ever. I scroll for hours a day. I don’t think I’ve ever known a life offline. I get rage baited SO easily, always had anger issues I had to repress…I can’t help but interact, so of course I see it more and more. I even made a pathetic fake account just to go to war in comment sections. I guess I feel I’m not allowed to be angry irl so many I turn to online discourse as an outlet. But Is the world ACTUALLY this stupid and misogynistic right now, or is the awful algorithm I curated only making it seem that way? Is anybody else as stupid as me doing this? Fuck my loser hiplet life

Yes doomscrolling is very bad, it's made specifically to bait you and to get you addicted.
And no it's not only on your side of the issue, I think plenty of people see it from their side of the issue too, it depends mostly on the spaces you frequent.
Beauty standards on the internet are all pumped up, Instagram celebs and influencers ruined it.

>>330230The more you engage with it the more you see it. Clicking on content like that is guaranteeing you will see more. So no its not, its just how the algorithm gets you to come back and spend more time. I felt this way in the early 2000s, but it wasn't nearly as bad as now. So glad i came up then and didn't experience nearly as much as you do. I had the same kind of phase.

Unplugging doesn't work. I've tried it many times.
If I block reddit, I'll find 4chan or something else. If I block 4chan, I'll just find twitter. If I block twitter, I'll just find some random forum or mastodon or something instead.
I don't have an answer but just saying that unplugging doesn't work. It has ruined my life too.

Social media is how I stay in touch with so many old friends. I just wish there was just a way to disable the algo driven infinite scrolling feature on these apps, or even just comment sections. Everything is convergently evolving into TikTok it’s so retarfed

>>330238Unplugging absolutely does work but you have to go cold turkey. Just stop paying your phone bill or get one of those non smart phones if you can. I feel amazing when I stop paying my phone bill for a month or two and just spend my time exercising, reading, cooking, and living life

Doomscrolling is like smoking cigarettes with your brain. I hope the younger generations realize how bad it is for you.

im sorry if this sounds cruel but you're just succumbing to be a waste, you have nothing interesting in your life and you probably just endlessly scroll for hours watching people make money and are better than you, no one is gonna remember you no one is gonna think of that person who doomscrolled the most, instead you'll get laughed at even if some relate to the same thing. The world isnt as bad as the curated algorithim INTENSEIFYING it. go fucking touch grass delete all social media for one week and see how mentally aware you become.
