Reddit fucking sucks
Only here to post this. I'm logging off again right after.
I didn't even realize how much mental damage Reddit was doing to me until I stopped using it for a few days.
Every time I browsed Reddit, I came off of it angry, misanthropic, resentful towards humanity, in a bad mood, and this extended to how I saw people in real life as well. I was much more likely to be pissed at them for no reason if I was already in a bad mood from reading some brain dead Reddit thread.
After I stopped using Reddit for a while, literally 90% of my hatred for the human species has evaporated.
I don't know what it is about this site. Even X isn't this bad personally. Yeah there's a lot of awful shit on there, but I never see any of it, I only see cute fanart or videos of cats whenever I open X and it leaves me in a good mood, I don't doomscroll or anything.
But Reddit threads and just the people on this site make me so angry that my brain sort of gets addicted to being angry, and I keep revisiting and scrolling addictively to reach that high the anger gives me even though it leaves me feeling terrible.
So yeah, fuck this site.
