• It’s 4chan. They assuredly developed some antisocial behaviors and some opinions on [a race, creed, skin color, political affiliation, sexual preference, nationality, incredibly niche video game that no one has heard of beyond the viscerally gut wrenching rape scene, etc.] that led them toward ignominy.

    I learned to not be hated by shutting up in places where it matters, and pretending I don’t exist. I just do whatever people want of me, assume I’m wrong about anything I say, and only speak if forced to

      Same. Though I didn’t develop critical thought until my late 20s since I was basically in people-please mode 24/7 making myself useful to surrogate parental figures at my workplace.

      There’s gotta be a balance

        And that’s the thing: If you only go to the gym to pick up women because your horrible personality won’t cut it, you’ll go home disappointed.

        That’s a pattern I generally see with these self-loathing greentexts: The posters have “ambitions” (read: feel entitled to success, money, and/or women) but don’t want to put in consistent effort or figure out why things are going wrong for them. Instead they project all the blame onto the rest of the world and spiral into depression.

        When they do decide to put in the effort you usually get something along these lines:

        > be me
        > ugly and everyone hates me
        > go to the gym to get a bod I can pick up females with bc they’re all shallow
        > actually get into working out
        > become friends with the gym bros
        > now I feel great, have a sixpack and real friends
