I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony of so many people who was cured from Dementia, and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to Dementia. I never imagined Dementia has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.Dementia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony . katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816946746595103127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087131858703575541.post-2490918758438976282019-05-30T15:36:01.703-07:002019-05-30T15:36:01.703-07:00Even though this was written 7 years ago, it's...Even though this was written 7 years ago, it's still a very much up-to-date issue. I'm 24 today, and I've been using a domestic online-forum that's very similar to Reddit since I was about 17, sometimes more sometimes less. But overall I would lie if I said I haven't spent countless hours reading about this and that and written thousands of replies in several different topics and threads. As you say, I can't really say either that anything of it really has had a lasting impact of my life. Maybe I read some good advice now and then, but if I really want good advice and nothing else, Youtube or Quora is a much better alternative. So first reason to quit online-forums is because it's basically just a waste of time you that doesn't really give you that much at the end of the day. And it can sometimes be addictive, so you might quite often spend more time on there than you had thought.<br /><br />Second and biggest reason I'm quitting (or at least drastically reducing the time I spent on there) is because roughly 80 % of all the people on there are so fucking negative all the time! It's like an unwritten rule on online-forums that you should be negative, hostile (especially if the topic involves MENA-immigrants) and in general just mean to each other and to the people that the topic is about. Altogether, the environment is just really toxic AF. Life coaches use to say that who you spend time with is who you become (which I think goes both for IRL and online), and I definitely think it's everything but ideal to become the typical Redditor - who is negative, racist, mean, toxic, lazy, a liar, a braggart and pure simple just a miserable loser who needs to put others down in order to get some satisfaction in their lives.

Every time I made a point or disagreed with the majority they would down vote like there's no tomorrow and they love to argue over anything. I have started realizing how much on a negative impact Reddit is having on my life and am now trying to eliminate the time I spend on there to only so much time a day.

I recently installed blockers on my computer that block me from getting on reddit, and I started getting very restless, sad, and lonely. I realized that I used reddit as a huge distraction in my life. While there are a lot of resources on there, so much of it is just junk for the brain to eat, and so many toxic personalities along with lots of negative content. <br /><br />I'm finally realizing how lonely I am. How I been using the internet and discussion forums/game lobbies/chats/etc as a fake form of socializing. It's been extremely hard. Honestly it's been harder than quitting other addictions I have, but I feel like my life will be better without reddit. <br /><br />Often time I think about what my life would have been like these last 6 years had I never fallen into the trap of weed-reddit-games-porn-repeat. It's have a huge impact on my life, my outlook on the world, and the way I socialize with people. <br /><br />I really want to somehow quit reddit for good. The only thing that really keeps me coming back is doing research and getting information on random things like Computers, Music Production, Software, History, and other random recommendations. <br /><br />Wish everyone trying to quit, or spend less time on reddit the best of luck!

It's sad to see people(especially teenagers) join the site and not know what to expect.<br /><br />To the author:<br /><br />You're really spot on when you mention the hive mind on that site. Ugh! I'd hate to be associated with these people! Granted, there are a lot of decent people on Reddit, but there's a reason why the site gets such a bad rep.<br /><br />To the readers:<br /><br />If you're reading this and you're wondering if you should delete your account, here's my advice: go for it! Really, what do you have to lose? Try focusing on other areas in your life... that's what I plan on doing.<br /><br />I spent almost two years on this site and after some careful thinking I've decided it's best for me to quit Reddit and spend less time on the internet. You should consider doing the same.
