It sounds like a joke, but nuf addiction was very serious for me. Its a very very unproductive place. People are mostly teens here so you can't even promote your small personal creation like stories, drawings etc for commissions, patreon etc. I think it's even against the forum rules to promote your "business" . Ofc you can share them but all you will get are opinions as many here aren't experienced in the field of these productive activities. While it's cool to enjoy, but for me there are ways to enjoy and be productive at the same time. For instance, I suggest you dive into your hobbies more (we are considering productive hobbies like writing/ drawing/ singing/ editing etc not a "recieving end" hobby like reading fiction, seriously it's as much of a waste of time as playing a game. While you could argue it could help in writing, trust me, it doesn't after a certain benchmark. Just go to reading for inspiration, leisure). You can talk to like minded people who are ultimately going to help your hobby/ business, anything productive and aren't tied with this transient "family" bondings. It hurts even more when people just leave you behind and you feel like a fool for believing too much in them. And I used to fit into all these symptoms of nuf addiction. But what I believe got me out is °.~Art~.° It gave me a purpose in life that's also fun and it's something genuine and objective people like me for than my fake persona. Eventually I opened commissions which went really well too. Which feels good! Granted it's a very materialistic and capitalistic way of viewing relationships and fun, but that's just how life is. And it is not getting changed anytime soon. Invest in something that gives you SOMETHING in return. The more you depend on other person for your happiness, the more hurt you will feel later on.
same but now for me its SHcord. I'm too addicted to discord. Actually, it's all I have time for these days anyway since I started work. all my free time vanished. I'm suddenly an adult with responsibilities like giving my mom half my check for rent and bills....
I'm relatively new here but within the last few days I can say that I spend a considerable amount of time on NUF. Without the things I'm currently busy with, I may really dive into the hole.
Should ask @Westeller and gang for temporary ban, you know for stopping nuf addiction *noms cookies in the corner*
There are phases to my nuf life. Lurking phase Very active phase The high got down phase I don't wanna talk to people phase (happens every now and then) Barely active phase
I'm more of a long past ghost visiting shortly. Hop in once every few months to see what changed, etc.
