It's super cozy and warm 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!

It's also why shame doesn't work on incels, because they're fueled by shame and self-loathing. It's just throwing more fuel on the fire.

Depends, most in my experience are just in pain

If it was just that, no one would have a problem with them. They've turned their own insecurity into toxic traits.

Dehumanizing women, some even celebrating people who mass shoot 'Chads' and women. Some even celebrate the actions of Elliot Rodger.

Anyone calling themselves an incel at this point is self-sabotaging, because incels are now by default associated with these toxic traits.
