It's really really cozy in the box btw ...

To be fair, lots of non-femcel and incel people think like this, too. They just direct all the blame inward. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything.

As someone with really bad social anxiety i can confirm that thats true sometimes my brain will just start telling me that i shouldn't go to places because nobody wants me there. It used to be harder when i was younger but i learned to force myself into those social situations more often now, even if it still isn't exactly easy

Im six seven and I guess im attractive because people say so and I get advantages with my looks or end up getting with people who are so much more good looking than I think i am.

It took me way too long to open up and not think people think im a freak due to my size

I know we all think of the monstrous incels doing awful, hateful things as the only types that exist but there's also a lot that only have hatred for themselves, living lonely sad lives and keeping away from incel communities which is what breeds most of the unhinged ones. I wouldn't even be surprised if the majority of incels are like this - directing the hatred and blame on themselves alone.

Incel just means involuntary celibacy, not "hatred of all women and non incel men".

I hate that this is how I find out i am, infact an incel.

Yeah. Like I want so so so badly to be able to be seen as attractive and just like...nice to have in a room. But any time anyone looks at me I can only interpret it as "ew". Like sometimes people will straight up walk up to me and compliment something about my fit, and I have to stop myself from thinking "they're only doing that because they can smell how ugly of a person you are and feel sorry for you".

Femcel? Like...no...definitely not celibate...

This didn't make me tear up or anything
