| What I find most problematic about the men in question is the threads being made that are sympathetic to incel ideology or that claim that incels are the target of bigotry (on incel forums they often compare themselves to oppressed groups like the Jewish people of Europe during the Nazi era, which ... |

| bleh, that person sounds like trash. I'm sorry they put you through all that. I wonder if there are better places than Omegle to talk to people? Omegle seems like it would have a higher ratio of jerks. |

Ahh, that is rough Faith. I feel a bit anxious if I am not dressed as well as I could be or if my makeup doesn't look quite right, but nothing that severe.  |

| I do kinda wish we had a locked down area tbh. I see replies from guys on topics that don't concern them at all and it's irritating. Yes yes, "not all WP guys", calm down. But just enough that it is irritating. I found a Aspergirl discord server once and that was cool, but super quiet. |

| Yes. I miss not caring tbh. But I also do enjoy wearing makeup... it's complicated I guess. But I never go to work without at least a little makeup on, if I end up needing to fix something in an executives office, i do not want to look frumpy. I also dress as nicely as I can. If I am just going out ... |

| If this should be posted elsewhere just let me know? Does anyone else do origami? It's one of my main special interests. I have close to 30 origami books (a lot in Japanese and one in Russian), and probably close to 100k sheets of paper. I have a gallery with what have folded but I need to add more ... |

| It is accounting I would be interested, and maybe financial analysis. My concerns are basically: 1) I have no degree. I want one! I really do. I love school, I miss studying. I’m 32 and it is time. So if I go back I basically have to mean it this time... unlike the other 5 or 6 times. 2) projected j... |

| I work in the tech industry, something I had studied for and wanted for a long time. For a brief while I considered accounting because it sounded quiet, repetitive, and solid as far as job prospects and pay went. But the attitude as of late has been you should work in a tech and since I had more int... |

Depression: I knit, fold origami, play a relaxing game, bake for my coworkers, do my skincare routine, curl up on the couch with my husband and watch Monty Python or anime.
Self esteem: still uh. Still working on that one. When I can get motivated, going to the gym helps! |

| I wish I could stay home and play Animal Crossing and Minecraft all day, and fold origami. I’m happiest hiding in the cute little worlds I create, and being surrounded by nice paper. |

| I was obsessed with gemstones and shells when I was little. But they are “pretty things” so I think my parents thought it was maybe interesting at most. I obsess now over sailor moon but as a geek idk if that comes off as odd. I am also obsessed with origami paper and baking. And plane crashes and m... |

| Yes, but I can't stand crazy heavy foundation. I like using a tinted BB cream and a powder foundation together because I feel like I have better control over how it looks. I don't know if I am supposed to do that though. I wear those, mascara and a light lipstick for work. It is part of my "arm... |

| How do you stop masking? I AM my mask, we have melded into one. I have no idea how to be anyone else. I 100% agree. I think I also mask out of fear that my family will stop liking me. I've gotten really into baking recently, which is a normal enough thing to be excited about, but I couldn't stop ta... |
