when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

I don't care and won't give you any narcissistic supply to feed your victim narrative.

Weird thing to say at the end of a comment where you proved every concern of his right

It is not my job to manage his feelings. That's caretaking a narcissist and makes them worse. It's ok to communicate (ie "I do not care") and put up boundaries (I won't respond). Further, his main concern was that him not having a girlfriend makes others label him as weird - no. It's that he himself is weird, not anything to do with women. So no, I did nothing to "confirm" his false beliefs, it is not my job as a woman to caretake or cater to his fears or perform emotional labor for men. Grow up.

But nice attempt at DARVO there

You dregs from reddit are so much worse than the Eternal November dregs from Twitter, at least most of those had a couple brain cells to rub together and maybe also one or two original thoughts in their entire life.
