Chronically Online Retard years later

As a teenager I used to get on forums. Mostly people my age were on there. A few older people were there as well. There was this person who really sucked. The type who threw money at everything and had a large collection, and wouldn't shut up about it.

Every post they would boast about how he had something better, and this and that, and this and that. Needless to say, most didn't like this person. Only the asskissers pretended to like them. The person was well into their 30s at the time. It pissed me off in how self-rightous they were.

I'm now purging off my collection of shit. I don't need it, and really was never happy having to spend so much of my time lurking forums. My parents kept me very isolated, it wasn't my choice, and this crap was all I could do at that point in my life.

So, now I'm around the age that forum asshole was years ago. And I'm not on forums anymore. I don't brag about what I have and am happy to be getting rid of shit because I don't need or want it. I have an ability to live my life now. Like, I'm not being an ass or boasting about shit. I still think I spend a bit too much time online, but I'm cutting that back. Like, I don't get why this person as a seemingly able bodied adult with an ability to live, chose to spend so much time online.

And the thing is these forums they used are almost all dead. The few left, they are still on there, acting like a celebrity and like they are some big name among this fandom when they aren't. No one know who the hell they are. This loser blew likely tens of thousands of dollars on shit, that's not a talent. And now that I have a job, I don't see being able to buy shit as some big deal. It's not.

What a fucking loser.
