Have you thought about trying to go without the Internet for a month?

[ItsOverMan]

I've thought about trying to go without the Internet, TV, all worldly distractions for a month and see if it helps with bringing me mental peace. But I feel like I would be bored to death, there's nothing to do then but bedrot and stare at the wall. If I'm bored I will be thinking even more about all the times I was mistreated in life. I already take walks.

The most I've ever done it for is maybe 1-2 days max

 

[Todd Thundercock]

I did when I was in mental hospital. I was fine, just bored.

 

[Grodd]

No

 

[Lifeless]

No

 

[Krobus]

What else is there to do in my house, I'm a neet

and see if it helps with bringing me mental peace

No mental peace for your genes

It's nice for a week or two when I occasionally go backpacking. Catching up on 2 weeks of news in a day is fun.

Not worth it as incel, internet and technology are essential copes to keep us sane. Only scenario where i could go with limited internet use for a month is if i had friend group and we gone for some long trip.

There's so much truth to this.

It would mostly likely get boring after a while and would probably make one's loneliness/isolation worse

 

[Emba]

Brutal

Nowadays, it's almost impossible to because you wouldn't be able to access your bank without it. How would you expect me to pay the bills if i didn't have any? Unless you mean like quitting social media or something along those lines.

 

[Xul]

Hell no, that would be terrible

 

[zd60]

i've done it before it was miserable don't like doing

 

[VictimOfSoyciety]

I went two months without internet when I first moved to the countryside. It definitely helped with mental clarity but I became a lot more schizo and started talking to myself more than usual.

I think it's good to take short breaks from it occasionally though.

 

[underballer]

Could try

 

[MRHK_57]

I've done it. Really do calm down the mind.

 

[Midnight Animal]

I would be bored out of my mind but there is always something random to do (unless that is not an option either).

Meditation is a different story, that shit is hard and I will never be able to do it for even one day let alone a month. It does help me tone down my senses and relax in short bursts tho. I always wanted to try doing it for prolonged period of time but it's impossible as it becomes asceticism.

 

[UsernameIsRequired]

Thought about it but as a neet idk what I would even do. Read? Cook something?

 

[CosmicInjustice]

I have important things to do online but if I didn't, I would consider it. I would probably just go to the library everyday for a month and try to overdose on bookslop. I could try to limit my Internet access to exclusively the essential needs but idk if that's possible.

 

[PersonalityChad]

Literally impossible in the big 25

 

[Failed Pullout]

Would be torture tbh

 

[user]

Only for week but I failed at girst day

 

[Frzk72cel]

Not a chance

 

[sbccel]

I’d go without internet for the rest of my life if that meant I could become Tyrone
