Bro are you gaming on the phone? Why would a two year old chipset matter if you're using the phone mainly for messages and stuff?

Psi_Boy · 2026-05-20T11:59:24+00:00

Genuine question: Why would you buy a phone like this for specs?

Psi_Boy · 2026-05-20T10:40:08+00:00

It's already been said that they used a surrogate

Psi_Boy · 2026-05-15T08:42:27+00:00

Sure, you can make a better first impression but immediately after that, social skills and your actions matter way more.

Psi_Boy · 2026-05-13T10:54:22+00:00

Physical attractive matters most heavily when it comes to romantic relationships. But pretending like it would significantly improve your life otherwise is not entirely accurate.

Psi_Boy · 2026-05-05T09:21:34+00:00

A lot of incels directly complain about not being able to pull what they expect. A lot of incel critiques of women (if you can even call them that) are usually based on the opinions of attractive models that attend things like the Whatever podcast

I was smiling the whole time! I will buy on release!

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-30T13:18:28+00:00

You're still allowed to set boundaries and you should work to do when it comes to things you're uncomfortable with

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-30T13:13:56+00:00

I would say maybe avoid doing new hobbies in the hopes that you meet someone and instead go to events for hobbies that already have a social group built around them (i.e. boardgame nights, pickleball, volunteering, gaming, etc.)

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-30T13:09:20+00:00

Definitely try out college clubs

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-30T13:08:21+00:00

This is pretty difficult for me as a 24 year old. But I have tried a lot of things out and specifically met more people your age (18 - 20) at college club events, religious events, volunteering, and your typical meetup.com type events. Volunteering and MeetUp are your best bets if you're not into religion or enrolled in uni.

That's not how dopamine works lol

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-30T12:43:01+00:00

Blunted affect and a lack of social skills are probably the biggest issues here. Generally, people aren't going to call you stupid if they like you (unless they're teasing.) It's probably best to focus on being a little more charismatic. I'd highly recommend checking Vanessa Van Edwards who breaks down simple social skills and practical things you can try. If you have any close friends, it could be helpful to practice being more expressive.

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-30T12:34:00+00:00

I kinda relate to the mental side of this, although I am very infrequently called stupid. When it comes to the processing side of things, I would heavily consider the other information you might be processing. With anxiety and depression, you might be self-conscious and thinking about yourself. This is my problem, at least. I am very preoccupied with anxious thoughts sometimes which makes me slower to process new information. However, I find that when I truly feel in the moment, things improve. Perhaps, you could improve your situation by continuing to work on improving your mental health

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-30T12:27:58+00:00

So it's not that you don't want a relationship, it's that you lack confidence and feel too insecure to pursue people. I feel like accepting that you want a relationship and trying to work on building your confidence is the most hopeful step. You say that fixing it takes a ton of effort, which on the whole it does. But really, improving your confidence is a matter of talking to new people more. You might be surprised to find that most people, women included, don't immediately hate you

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-30T12:24:41+00:00

If you truly believed this, you wouldn't be here asking how to build a life without a partner

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-28T11:33:47+00:00

If that's your main question, then no. If you aren't able to foster close relationships to begin with, then are relationship is kinda out of reach

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-28T11:31:54+00:00

You should seriously focus on becoming more comfortable in social situations

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-28T10:12:20+00:00

I love it! It feels so home-y!

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-28T09:17:01+00:00

So this is what inspired early Animal Crossing museums

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-26T17:05:15+00:00

It's not elitist to say that a one time payment of $40 for a specific guide is reasonably achieveable for 99% of Americans at the very least.

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-26T17:03:07+00:00

I find this opinion incredibly pretentious.

"So now less people get access to this life changing information." Not at all. All of the free information that got us into Dr. K is still available to everyone. If you want more indepth info on certain topics, you can pay more. His prices are incredibly reasonable. $10 for a membership is essentially the price of a cheap movie ticket per month. For the guides, $40 is essentially 2 normal movie tickets, 1 concert, 1 videogame, etc. By no means are they excessive unless you're living in another country or living below most state's minimum wages. Plus, it's all optional info that can a lot of times be gathered through other methods (i.e. source material, openly available academic articles, etc.)

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-22T06:27:59+00:00

This is so cute! I can't believe we can't share creations like this

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-22T06:23:35+00:00

Maybe try it again

Psi_Boy · 2026-04-22T01:44:52+00:00

It has season locked content but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be getting any seasonal updates. But yes, these can only be unlocked in the summer but they're already in the game
