OG user from the early days of the forum here. A bit over 2 years ago I decided to quit the forum completely because I realised it was bringing me down, I will share my progress.
It's true that this forum helps a lot of people on their looksmaxing journey but this post isn't targeted to the guys who only browse the looksmaxing section, it's for the ones who rot on the offtopic section. For those who are here for looksmaxing only, I advise you to focus on your biggest flaws and not so much on small flaws. (does the nasolabial fold guy still post here? )
Anyways, this is just my story, and I'm posting it to help people who feel the same way I felt. This isn't an attack to anyone who rot here all day, we all decide what do with our lives.
I also won't be for long, I just want to post and leave.
I don't know if any of the bros from back then still post here but I wish you all the best
My life back in PSL
For context, I'm gonna say what my life was like back in mid 2021. I was in my last semester of college and living alone, I had distanced myself from my friends and I was depressed most of the days. Basically my routine consisted of going to college, working out, coming back home and browsing here all night, everyday. I didn't really talk to anyone outside of college and I didn't have any meaningful connection with anyone at that time, even when I was invited to do something I would just make an excuse to stay at home. And then I had residency exams comming in the end of the year, which I couldn't study properly because I spent too much time rotting in the forum and I failed the exams. In summary, I was very depressed or, at least, I was having the lifestyle of a depressed person.
This forum and PSL
I'm not gonna say PSL was entirelly responsible for that but it played an important role. This forum is really funny and helpful but it can make us very pessimistic and autistic. People post photos of a male model and say "if you don't look like this it's over" or "you will never get laid if you aren't PSL 7". There is no doubt that looks are by far the most imporant thing in attraction and that things like PUA and redpill are a cringe cope but the idea that you have to be perfect in every trait to get a girl and you can't have any failo is just wrong. I remember seeing pictures of many users here back in the day and most of them looked like normal guys who could get laid, of course there were some truecels and for these guys rotting here and on incels.is was the only thing left for them but they were a minority.

My life today
So, being socially isolated, depressed, rotting here all day and not being able to study and focus on my carreer made me quit the forum. At first I started studying a lot to try to get into residency, and I did study a lot, much more than I imagined I could, but it turned out that those few months of studying weren't enough and I didn't make into residency. But I graduated and I started taking a lot of day shifts and night shifts, I made a lof of money, bought many things I wanted, a car, a gaming pc and a trip to Europe for my parents. It was a that time that I noticed my depression going away and that was because I was doing something useful with my time instead of rotting on the internet all day.
I also started talking with my friends again, we started hanging out, and it was through these friends that I met my girlfriend, who I share an apartment with and we've been dating for almost 2 years. At the end of the year I took the residency exams again but at this time I had spent the whole year studying for that, and I got accepted into residency, finally.
