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

Oh lord. This is actually how incels and femcels think! Like, they believe that every stare they get is directed at them in disgust! Poor Val!

Being trapped in those thoughts is not good!

I genuinely wish Val would value herself more. She's looking too much into the eyes of the crowd. To the point she thinks Audrey is the only one looking at her normally.

She's fallen into the trap of every gaze directed at her being negative and that is seriously sad and tragic! Audrey can only help Val get out of it, but Val has to be the one to do the hard work!

Hopefully she'll be able to regain her confidence!

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
