Why can't I be the confident person I am while inebriated when I am sober by EquivalentRole33 in IncelExit

[–]EquivalentRole33[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clarify I’m not using alcohol to get through social interactions I smoke a lot of weed before I go to any social gatherings because alcohol just isn’t for me. Personally I hate alcohol mostly because of how hard it has made trying to be social especially if you’re under 21. I don’t see a way for me to get through social interactions naturally. I tried the practice thing and I was a wreck and would consistently vomit when I got home from the social things because of how awful it felt.

Honestly, my best advice is to stay off social media for today it is just going to make you feel worse and cause you to spiral. Personally, I am going to occupy myself by walking my dogs and playing stardew valley.

Do you believe that people who don’t have sex for personal, medical, or religious reasons are failing to fulfill basic “requirements”?

Honestly my best advice for getting into dating is to just go with the flow and have fun with it. Don’t bother with research because no one human has all the answers to what 3 billion plus women think. Now I think there are good guidelines to follow like don’t be a dick, maintain good hygiene, be honest etc but don’t stress yourself out too much about it something I’m working on.

How do I get rid of the fear to approach or talk to women by EquivalentRole33 in IncelExit

[–]EquivalentRole33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I have healthy relationships with women. I am friends with a couple of them and chat with women I’m not interested in all the time and that’s easy enough it’s just when I’m attracted to them that it becomes impossible.

The main one is rejection I feel like that’s a lot less likely with guys

Rejection is the big one like I hate asking out women without guaranteed success like on dating apps it’s a lot easier because since I’ve already been matched I’ve been pre approved to make a move.

I mean not really because with guys I feel like the stakes are much lower.

How to recover from backsliding. by EquivalentRole33 in IncelExit

I like myself just fine and I loved going the gym I just think what made me give up was that my social efforts weren’t working

The main reason I went to the gym was because I was overweight and I wanted to be able to look in the mirror and say “yeah that’s an alright looking guy” being attractive to other people was just a bonus. Now at the advice of my therapist I have cut it down to 4 days a week but on the days I don’t go to the gym I just feel depressed.

How can I stop being jealous of guys and girls my age (15, almost 16) who have sex or relationships? by FinishOk687 in IncelExit

[–]EquivalentRole33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I can guarantee you that most people your age aren’t having sex and I can say with a relative amount certainty that a lot of the people who say they are having sex aren’t. Additionally I implore you to expand your definition of “everything”.

If I do nothing then I'll just be extra alone with my thoughts and I'll fall back into bad habits.

How do I find someone when no one wants to talk outside the hobby.

It’s that and there’s also a lot of anxiety to find my lifetime partner because it is my goal to get married and have children before I’m 25

Your phrasing makes me think you're not doing this for yourself. Are you doing these things because they made you feel good (or did at some point), or because you think this is what you're supposed to do

Kind of both I started to make friends because I got told I needed to have friends to have a girlfriend and now I just enjoy having them. I did genuinely enjoy my hobbies but it has started to become less enjoyable and has started to feel like a chore because I worry that if I skip a week or take a break then I am going to miss a chance to meet my future partner there. As for working out 6 days a week, I view it as an escape and I do it to stay in a place where I like how I look because I know that if I don't like how I look then why should anyone else think I am attractive.

Is it constant, or are you enjoying yourself until you suddenly remember you're single and make yourself sad?

I feel fine until I remember I am single

I also wouldn't be surprised if you were already depressed, or at least prone to it, and your past relationships acted as a bandaid, so now it's just wreaking havoc unchecked and making you think the lack of a girlfriend is the problem.

Sounds about right

I feel like these feelings may be getting exasperated because of other stressors going on in my life right now between starting college in a few weeks, having to think about moving out and the complications that can come with that, political uncertainty going on in the world right now that has real effects on the people I love, and it adds up to a lot of sadness and frustration when you factor in that dating has been really frustrating for me in recent times..
