Facepunch massively boosted my self esteem by making me elitist towards everything and hate everything therefore thinking I'm better than everyone else. It also helped me realize that people only seem to listen to cynicism when it's presented in a comedic way.
(Also, it might of helped me with friends and relationships (both of which I am lacking) if a guy I knew at school didn't read all my posts)
It taught me that people actually give a fuck about ratings.
Facepunch has taught me that people are untrustworthy dicks and that computers are my only friends.
Facepunch has helped me spread good feelings and happiness every Christmas, when I give a holiday greeting to everyone who post in my "What did you get for Christmas" Thread I can't wait to do it again this year!
Fuck Facepunch, I came here a closed minded christian now I'm an atheistic, anti-Semitic misogynistic liberal.
Facepunch helped me on my journey to become a sick E-Sports pro gamer.
Well it [B]made[/B] me appreciate good grammar and force me to use it.
Facepunch is like a second home almost, I check facepunch as much as I check Facebook.
Quite a lot of things really, it's impossible for me to think of them all.
Kept me from countless hours of homework and studying
even right now
fuck you facepunch
FP improved my grammar, got me a boyfriend, a bunch of friends who are savvy in a lot of stuff and quite fun to talk to, a pair of fancy expensive earphones for cheap, and a fat PS2.
[sp]also it made me realize I was (or turned me into?!) a creepy gay furry kinkster ewwww[/sp]
Facepunch gave me the confidence to be the sassy cunt I am.
Met cool people, been watching some cool stuff on the Creationism Corner and it helped me on getting some games that i've wanted for a time.
A better question would be to ask how I helped Facepunch, which isn't much at all. But if you're asking how it's helped me, then not much at all either. I made some friends and learned about some great television and music. If it turns out that I get a leg up in business because I've watched Twin Peaks, I'll report back with the extent of life improvement attained by this coincidence, and duly associate it to my being here in the past.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;42467883]Before I was a FPer I liked Xfire, excessive emoticons, bad spelling on purpose, shitty meme macros and LOLCATZ[/QUOTE]
Hey man I still use Xfire.
But on a serious note, made me realize that there are a lot of crazy left liberals on the internet.
[QUOTE=skylortrexle;42463048]When smartness was here, it helped me not be a fucking retard all the time.

i dunno, i remember smartness being a risky biscuits sort of time, less about spelling correctly and more about trying to lose the most points per post without actually getting banned

It broke me out of the Retardcycle phase (1999 - 2011). It's not going to make people I've pissed off with my retardedness back then like me again, but it's progress.

And to avoid anime and its fans.
It helped me by providing an easy outlet for my procrastinational tendencies.
LMAO Pics seems to have put a curse on me.
Now whenever I see a Shiba Inu, my brain automatically thinks of comic sans text surrounding the dog.

This. My math homework should have been done hours ago.
It has kind of helped mold my personality as I joined really early on as a kid (I first joined when I was around 11 on another account. I don't use the account anymore because of the name). It helped me be eloquent through my typing and it taught me how to not be a flamboyant and annoying immature little kid (I still act like one at times, even outside of this. That's just the kiddie in me). The pinnacle of everything about Facepunch helping me was meeting new, intelligent and interesting people. Though there are those who post really immature or obnoxious things without putting any thought into it first, I still enjoy most of the people here. I've heard so many stories and experiences from people, may it be from the regulars on Shit That Gets You Mad or Sad, or threads surrounding around the hardships of others and depression, love, sexual orientation, etc. I've found many strong people on this forum who have posted the worst of the worst stories, when they were in the absolute bottom of their lives and they put deep emphasis on how they manage to keep going without even batting an eyelash. It's amazing the support that some of the users have on here. I understand that not all the users are this way, but again, I still love the lot of the users here. There's a place for everyone here, may you be a man or a woman, a teen or an adult, a straight person, a homosexual person, a bisexual person, a geek, a person with a form of autism, a social disorder, or anything that the person can't help -- there's a place for everyone. That's why I think Facepunch has helped me; I've never really been a socially charming and striving person as I've never understood the ways I could express myself in the ways that I have here. I've met people who are understanding of the issues that you have in your life, people that you'd never even think to meet in real life under many circumstances. Facepunch and its users have sort of been like family -- it sure is a big family, and not all the siblings agree with one another, but we've all sort of seen eye to eye on a lot of sensitive topics that you'd never be able to have the confidence to get off your chest in the real world.
When I have no one else to go to, the supportive and kind people of Facepunch are here. When I'm depressed, troubled or stressed, the understanding and the "Yeah, I've been there." -- they've all helped me. There are so many unique and varied people on here that have, oddly to say, changed my life: and for that, I thank Facepunch and its users. :downs:
I stopped being who I am and then someone reminded me why I should be who I am, and now I never need reminding again. I've truly woken up for the last time in my life.
And now, I do not go on Facepunch for the same reasons anymore.
It's helped me realize how inferior I am to people.
And that's a good thing.
Made me avoid memes and bad jokes.
And turned me from a whiny cunt into a cynical & stubborn bastard.
The constructive criticism I've received and the inspiring from the great photographers helped me to better myself as an amateur photographer.
Facepunch got me interested in building PC's, which pretty much led to my career.
Facepunch helped me with the Gabe interview with tons of questions (seriously like 7 pages of them, including a few PMs), and also helped me get views on the video
Facepunch also made me read the news regularly
It changed me from an 11 year old to a 16 year old.
Wait...
In all seriousness though, most of the music I liked that I ever listened to was introduced to me by Facepunch. Woodkid, Of Monsters and Men, Motley Crue, Daft Punk (made me get into it), Imagine Dragons and a lot of oldies singers from the 50s-80s.
Facepunch has given me nothing, but has taken away lots of free time.

Carefree sperg to self conscious megalomaniac
