It’s not brain rot if the internet is an outlet where you can be who you truly are. It’s the rest of the world that is fucked for forcing people to hide their interests and identity.
Yeah, internalized shame is a hell of a thing, but - at least in my view - it is good to realize that it is forced upon us and not something that comes from within ourselves. It is hard to unlearn, but very liberating to do so, even if the possibilities to live the way we want is limited.

I love watching the crushing realization of ones own internet brain rot setting in.

Fair point, if only real life could be the hedonistic frontier that the internet is.

fr like, why cant we just all fuck all day😮💨
We truly do live in a society
inside you there are 2 monkeys: one is a chimpanzee munching on the flesh of its enemies and one is a bonobo tossing off 5 others simultaneously.
we need to seal the chimp inside a block of concrete and give the bonobo a big stage to perform on

I am still struggling, but I also realize that I have come a long way in the last few years.
I also wish you all the best and to be able to free yourself from the prejudices that others force on you.
I exist IRL. I found you.
