It's Over i think the internet made me more ND than i already am

[whrt]

ever since i got unrestricted internet access (which was at the ripe age of 10 but i already had internet access way before that age) i just started fitting less and less in today's society, i won't deny that my views and beliefs don't align with today's society but internet just made them worse,made me more insecure and hyperaware of stuff i shouldn't be aware of,how can i avoid it without killing myself or how can i stop using the phone entirely and not being a slave?

I was born neurodivergent.

get a dumb phone? there are ones that you can use android on them kyocera flip phones from japan
they are regarded as the best ones you can get. if you can't go out without your banking app on your phone or email and such and they
look cool y2k aesthetic if you are into that.

that wouldn't prevent you from accessing truth social or anything or even injecting copious amount of 'truth' into your bloodstream but they will surely add extra steps.

what model would you recommend me? also i don't think they're available here in Italy and most have old android versions running on them which isn't very practical

I can semi-relate, but it is more because I was already involuntarily isolated and ostracised that I could finally differentiate from the real world on the internet without suffering the same abuse.

So the internet was more of a cope for me instead of the reason for my circumstances.

depends on what your needs are. i was looking to import one for me 902kc model but i gave up on the idea since i would have to pay taxes on them would end up costing me double or the same price a fancy phone. back when i was researching them apparently there are/was a company releasing android flip phones up until recently but i can't remember. but generally anything Koycera would be nice or Japanese/korean made, and yeah the android versions are quite old android 10 i think is the latest for koycera, you can get them on ebay, may be cheaper for you.

well the internet isn't the reason for me either, I've always been like this, it just made everything worse and went even further away from what society considers "normal" although i try my best to larp NT irl you can never truly avoid it or pretend that you're not ND, I've used the internet as cope too but honestly the internet is more of a ropefuel than hopefuel compared to real life (unless you avoid the negative stuff on the internet and make your own fake world bubble on it)

thank you that's a really cool phone, it's not even that expensive honestly but the price range fluctuates, as long as that android version can support basic stuff i think it's okay,i thought about getting an old nokia or something but it seems rather impractical

while doing some more research fund this repository of phones and has some great sorting features if you still interested in the topic
dumbphones.org definitely take a look maybe there something that better fits your needs, also don't buy directly from the links on this website i can't really vouch for them double-check beforehand.

Seems like every zoomer has this problem, especially the late zoomers. My coworkers are mostly 18-24 years old and it's blatantly obvious from the way they talk and act (using internet lingo in real life, referencing internet memes, talking about e-drama and e-celebrities, bringing up internet discourse) that ALL of them are terminally online.

Hearing them awkwardly talk to each other is like watching a real life tiktok comment section and a reddit thread. Their entire personalities are derivative from the internet. You have the ironybros, the tiktok misandrist girlies, the "nonchalant" guys, etc.

It's also gotten to the point where these days if there's a new internet meme, I'll hear about it in real life before I encounter it online.

Anyone who says "the internet isn't real life" in 2026 is extremely out of touch or just doesn't spend much time around people under 25.

Same. My entire life is online, I can’t just put my phone down, I have no other hobbies. I wish I was a normie.

I've been trying to get a dumb phone but it didn't have basic communications easily accessible (like texts) the only good thing is that it had calls tho but no music no texts is pure hell

i agree fully, especially as a late zoomer, sometimes i just wish our generation could go back without all of this,phone dependency is real and it's honestly stronger than what people think

It's because it rots your attention span and gives you brain fog which makes you feel ND
