"Dammit, I could have been with a girl who gets drunk and fucks random people in the bathroom!"

Keep aiming high, Anon.

It's the incel delusion that if you just acquire a girlfriend and/or lose your virginity all your crippling social issues and anxiety goes away. You wake up as Chad the next morning.

Not having sex can do a real number on your self-confidence though

If and only if you hold it as a measure of one's fulfillment.

People no longer make love but have sex. The shallow interaction is now sought more than the long-term endeavour.

It... does help a lot. I think there are a lot of young adults out there who go through life with dead hearts thinking that they're not worth anything and that intimacy is a hollywood trope. Then you experience it both physically and emotionally, and the world really isn't the same again.

Plus, if you go through life thinking you're not worth anything, then you will develop social ticks like anxiety, stammers, OCD, you name it. Hell, in my case, going to the gym did more for me than years of psychiatry ever did.

I mean he's only partly wrong. It sucks when you're not having it, but when you are, it doesn't fix any other problem in your life.

Parties and sex don't mean you're living. That's just usually something glamorised by Hollywood and social media.

This guy seems like he has a tight knit friend group and a common hobby they all enjoy. As long as they're working towards meaningful goals in their lives, I'd say he's actually got it better then his drunk friends.

I mean... parties and sex are pretty cool though.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

Looking in from the outside, at least a LITTLE parties and sex would be nice! Looks fun.

Baby... it'll blow your mind.

"Its my Mom's fault that I've got no life." Spins in racer chair and queues up for another game

[-] xoggy@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago

Blows my mind these kinds of greentexts are getting upvoted.

[-] BobGnarley@lemm.ee 28 points 2 years ago

I always thought the cringy parts were the point though!

[-] bbuez@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I mean, what better do you expect from 4Chan?

[-] xoggy@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

I guess I expected better from Lemmy. There are definitely some greentexts more worthwhile, funny without having to be cringeworthy you know?

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

likely in gold 3

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 31 points 2 years ago

Does anon know that you can meet friends as an adult?

I mean, it's a bit more difficult, sure, but everything is.

Guess it's easier to blame your mom instead of taking responsibility for your current life choices.

Sorry anon, just because you go to a party it doesn't mean your awkward ass is getting fucked lol

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

It could, if you're into that.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 2 years ago

The biggest fuck up in this whole thing was playing League. That's where the problems started.

Cry me a river - I got a Dragon 32.
