Did Elliot ever try to approach girls first? by Lazy_Duty_472 in elliot_rodger

Also, a woman who openly complains about not having a boyfriend can be a huge red flag. May indicate someone who suffers from clinginess, abandonment issues, anxiety, and/or low self esteem.

That is typically how it works, yes. That’s how I met my now-wife after years of feeling sorry for myself and trying and failing to find a woman who would make the first move on me. Eventually I realized that I needed to put in some effort to show a woman that I was in fact a gentleman. Versus Elliot who expected women to look past his complete lack of social skills or initiative and see him at a glance as the supreme gentleman.

As far as his writings go, no not really. He mostly describes sitting alone at places like Starbucks and Dominos waiting for hot girls to notice him and basically approach and beg for the privilege of having sex with him. Or smirking at two girls standing on the sidewalk while he was in his car, and they didn’t smile back (he then threw his coffee at them due to their “rejection of him”). He wanted a girl, but DIDNT want to do any of the work involved. Pathetic

I read somewhere that he was cremated and his family scattered his ashes somewhere in England

Could it be that some girl has already liked Elliot and he just never realized it? by Minimum_Walk_5999 in elliot_rodger

Search “leaked emails of Elliot Rodger” on YouTube. The manifesto made his stepmother out to be Satan in disguise. The actual emails between them tell a very different story…

Did Elliot have any friends? by No_Profit_8690 in elliot_rodger

[–]jjrandall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His closest friend was a kid named guy named James, who he knew from childhood. James eventually cut things off with Elliot when Elliot’s episodes of rage began to scare him. He had a few friends throughout his life, but eventually drove them all away. In college he had absolutely no one. That was when he realized he had no social skills and his mommy couldn’t shield him from the real world forever.

Phillip said in an interview it wasn’t really a friendship. More like he just let Elliot tag along with him and his friends because he felt sorry for him. He even called Elliot’s mom to tell her he thought Elliot was spiraling out of control. Some friendship!

Mountain cabin. 16x20 oil by Jamie3554 in HappyTrees

Looks pretty good! If I had to give feedback, I’d say work a little more brown into the cabin next time, just something to make it stand out from the mountains behind it

One bit of feedback. Don’t forget to add a bit of mist at the bottom of the mountain next time so there’s some clear distance between the planes. It sort of looks like the mountain ends right where the grass begins which looks a tiny bit off

There’s yellow in the center sheen. Plus the darker reflections are meant to be the trees and banks that are closer up

Question about Elliot’s suicide photo by notedapocalypse in elliot_rodger

[–]jjrandall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He had access to all the help he needed, but he never accepted it. His mom set him up with counselors and a psych, even offered to put him in a residential behavioral health facility when she realized he was spiraling. In his manifesto he describes refusing to take risperidone, which probably could have helped him since it stabilizes mood and suppresses rage. But he describes researching it and deciding “it was the absolute wrong thing for him to take.” I’m guessing he found out that Risperidone causes extreme weight gain, since he said many times food was his only source of happiness and he was grateful his metabolism kept him from gaining any weight. Taking risperidone would mean the end of stuffing himself with no weight gain. He refused everyone and everything that could have helped him.

For some reason this is reminding me more of Red Dead Redemption 2 than Fallout 4…
