What is the best advice you have gotten from KF?

My whole thread OP could have been the advice. I wish when I was 14, someone had shown me a preview of my thread and said “This is what could happen if you continue down this route.”

I am not a stupid person, but a very gullible one. Being gullible is usually down to a lack of Emotional Intelligence rather than to do with IQ. I’m not autistic but I’m very introverted irl, and pretty anti-social. Being a lolcow here is like living a double life, it’s whack.

I was very technically capable as a kid, but I was in a different sector of things, leaning more towards programming & activism.

Everyone I had seen get “cancelled” was a celebrity. I didn’t ever think I’d get a thread because I truly didn’t consider myself important enough.

I was wealthy and stereotypically attractive but never really anything more than a ghost in real life. Buying followers, buying likes, associating with “e-celebs” and getting into controversial situations made me feel like I existed.

I was extremely good at math and science. I was always talked about as a someone who “had a lot of potential” but never as someone who had succeeded.

By playing into the whole influencer archetype, I felt less alone and like I was achieving something. Rather than being a weird socially awkward incel, I could be the socialite influencer with fancy outfits who went to nightclubs. I hated every second of it.

I wish that someone had told me that being seen, all the clout, all the simps and all the followers, wouldn’t be worth the stress from having it all documented here.

My parents didn’t know anything about the Internet & didn’t really care, and teachers never really taught us about Opsec. In my circles, being KNOWN was the goal, and as a child who feels like they could easily be forgotten, that felt like gold.

Being clever doesn't give you street smarts. The internet is a rough street.

The activism I can believe, but programming no. You like to larp as a techy but you aren't.

Sun is still out. Go to a coffee shop, take your laptop (or just your phone) while you can.

No one cares about your personal life. I wish every major online platform enforced that rule.

It's always fun to read a thread about some cow elsewhere and some dumb nigger posts 'Oh my dear Bob just had a heart attack' FOR NO FUCKING REASON and all the other dumb niggercattle in the thread spend the next 8 pages in a circlejerk about some dumb nigger's husband that has nothing to do with anything. If you are going to PL, at least take that shit to the off topic boards.
