Almost as if theres a huge loneliness crisis in the world... nah thats only scifi
Nah, lets just call all lonely men "incels" and sweep the problem under the rug, surely that will never be a problem.
EDIT: Thanks for helping me prove the point, everyone.
If you don't want to be called an incel, don't blame your loneliness and lack of sex on anyone else. Everyone is lonely, it's nobody's fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere. Continue to grow as a human and don't stop trying to find new avenues of reaching out to others.
And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.
You guys are missing my point. Im not talking about incels, I'm talking about people who just call all lonely guys incels. The way everyone is happily downvoting me when I say this are proving me right.
Sorry, I did miss the point. I've literally never seen it happen the way you describe it.
I have and experienced it (EDIT: on my own skin). Though admittedly any traumatic experience often makes you see things which aren't there.
I am sorry you had to experience that, but it is very insightful and aware to know that your trauma would affect the perception. Most would gloss over that.
Not saying this about you specifically ( I don't know if you have things about you that you don't like), but people who have things they don't like about themselves also have a tendency to see criticism and insults about that particular thing where there are none. Like I used to be really over weight, so anytime anyone made jokes about something being large or about pigs or cows, I would internalize that and assume it was about my fatness because I hated that about myself.
Yes, that second part is true.
Ah, about "insightful and aware" - I've just had lots of time stuck with most social interactions, especially romantic, after that trauma. So it's not that I'm subtler than other people, it's just that I've had ~12 years to try everything less insightful. (Just wanted to answer an undeserved compliment or something)
No one does that.
We are all talking about incels. Nobody here has a problem with lonely guys. I think you're missing everyone else's point.
Incels are called incels. Lonely guys are lonely guys. If you’re being called an incel, there’s a reason.
I can literally call you anything right now in this comment, and there'd be a reason.
That "no smoke without fire" thing is disgusting.
