@Inliytened1 nice, reminds me of this topic by @Bazooka Jesus

God is pretty mysterious

You learn something new every day. I didn’t know you can report your own posts as well

There is truth to be discovered in everything you have mentioned.

You’re truth

Men traditionally were not able to express a wide range of emotions openly. Sadness and fear is seen as weakness; anger is seen as being strong and assertive. The Redeemer clearly has emotional needs that aren’t being met, and haven’t been met for a long time. It’s a cry for help. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.

What country are you from?

Consider that speaking about your mental health is a relatively new thing. This was seen as a taboo thing just a few decades ago.

The girl I was too shy to say hi to, despite multiple nonverbal signals between the two of us. Damn, I’m so autistic

Maybe she was just drunk…?

Definitely healthier than the massive amount of crap I used to be attracted to on the internet.

That definitely does put things into perspective. If only having access to a professional was easier, but if there’s a will there’s a way. @The Redeemer you might want to check out Healthy Gamer. There’s a bunch of videos that may prove useful to you; they’ll make sense even if you’re not a gamer.

The dude has had a shitty past and does not have a strong support system. Let’s give him a chance, but if he continues the hateful comments moving forward then he’s OUT!

I can relate to a lot of what you said. The fact that you’re self aware of this is a step in the right direction. You have what it takes to move forward, but it’s not going to be easy whatsoever.

Same here.. Let’s go!

Whenever a toxic man enters your life, this is what you immediately need to do:

Masochism.

I am as skinny as a twig and have attracted beautiful women.

Yes, please lock it at the 420th post

If you want to be social, you’re going to have to open up some parts of yourself; it can’t be all private.

Women will find you irresistible when you take on a leadership role that creates solutions and empowers them, rather than barrage them with endless excuses and pity parties. Doing the latter will make you more irritable to them.

You can’t avoid that completely. For example, if you’re a musician in heavy metal band and play at live shows, you don’t control who wears earplugs or not. Clearly you wouldn’t be out there intentionally causing people to lose their hearing.

People who are chronically abused and exploited aren’t even aware that they’re being abused, sadly. At best they have a vague idea that something is off. They deal with it by using coping mechanisms that they’ve been ingrained with, which further keeps them stuck in the cycle of abuse. Abusers are then able to take advantage of these victims, and it makes the abusers even stronger. It can take decades to even realize one is in such a situation. And getting out of it won’t magically fix the damage that’s already been done. It’ll still take additional decades of inner work to heal all that trauma.
