like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate and share advice and coping mechanisms and so on.

loneliness is increasing worldwide, esp in men. and it's very easy to get into the weeds on this of course...

happy fuckin holidays

Move to Oregon. This is the most social place I have ever lived. I get into a conversation everywhere I go if I want it or not. They love to chat here.

Gee maybe try developing some empathy for the “incel sickos” as a first step on the path to reconnecting with humanity?

If you don’t want to change your view on “incel sickos”, then I recommend just joining a men’s group.

Get offline. Go find a club, whether it be a sedentary hobby like model trains or active like mountain biking. In any decent size city, theres gotta be something.
