Is it normal that the internet is damaging my already fragile mind?

I just spent a huge amount of time coming up with a troll post, but not a clever one. I was trying to craft just the right number of misspellings and grammatical mistakes. I'm not sure I'm a real person anymore. I'm pretty sure that my neighbors hate me. I can't really focus for any long period of time and when I see a stupid post, I sometimes fall into a quiet snickering fit, but it's probably still pretty loud. Life keeps moving on, and I've since lost many of my IRL aspirations. I don't know if my turning to the internet caused that, or if I turned to the internet because things weren't going well, but now I'm locked in a vicious cycle.

    The internet damaged my mind, too.
    Thanks to the internet, I am racially self-conscious, my attention span has decreased significantly and I have a furry fetish.

        Thanks! I recently moved and the internet took a while to set up.

    I'm no doubt going to get ire directed towards me for my comment, but this site is damaging me, my soul, and my desire to be a better person. Hence, I've been thinking about leaving.

    If you feel that it's taking a toll on you, take a break from it. Because, I doubt that you intend to walk away from the Internet all together.

    I'm sure this is a troll post but I've been addicted to the internet since age 12 and i was a troll even back then.. it has started to consume my personality but in a good kind of way.. by subtly implementing trolling techniques into real life i've gained a lot of confidence in things like job interviews, but it is a little surreal feeling to be off the computer
