How do you convince yourself that 27 vs 30 is a difference that matters in any way

Lack of confidence will do some fucked up things to your brain honestly

When i read 30 i thought: oh no, he's talking up 17 year olds.

Still better this way than the Trump way

Volunteer work is an amazing way to break cycles of isolation and loneliness. You have a shared common goal with other volunteers and you are making a collective effort to improve the lives of those less fortunate than you. Even if you walk away without having met the love of your life or whatever, at least you can feel good knowing that you helped make the world a better place and got to meet some cool, likeminded people.

Volunteer work backfires for a lot of people when they work at like food pantries though. You get a huge amount of entitled rude assholes and it can make you hate the public and/or the destitute

It's hard reconciling the fact you are being generous (even indirectly) and the fact that poor people with fucked up lives may be a bit too busy with their shitty lives to show gratefulness.

Like animals biting you when you rescue them, it's hard to understand, no doubt.

I swear we could de-radicalize young men if this was talked about more. Just say hi to people

As long as they don't mistake making a new friend with expectations of having a girlfriend. I've had plenty of guy "friendships" which I genuinely thought would last for years, but the moment they noticed I wasn't having sex with them they pulled away to never be heard of. It breaks your heart in a different way.

One of the biggest problems is that, outside of early school, there's no real way to practice social interactions in a safe setting. The only real option is jumping straight in. If you're already slightly socially stunted, it can be very easy to mess it up. It only takes a couple of negative reactions to put someone off for a long time.

I almost fell into the same hole when I was younger. Thankfully I realised what was likely happening and worked on it. I'm still not good at cold approach social interactions, but I can at least now do it without screwing up catastrophically.

Yeah. And if you get rejected a few times, don't turn that into an entire personality. Laugh at yourself.

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this could easily work both ways and someone could talk to THEM.

Inevitably there would be some incels who claim that speaking to women like normal human beings is an attempt by the matrix to emasculate men.

Wasn't this one of Elliot Rodger's issues, he just didn't talk to women

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
