| specifically, how do you feel you didn't have a normal youth? To sum it up, I just didn't fit in socially, at all, with the vast majority of my peers. Throughout gradeschool and what is now called middle school, I was always the oddball who got picked on. Luckily I did manage to do well academicall... |

| I really hope you'll find some way to leave the toxic (and self-defeating) incel mentality behind. Ditto for your resentment over not having had a "normal youth." what do you mean by Ditto over not having had a normal youth? are you saying you feel you didn't grow up having a normal youth... |

| Here's an update on my situation. I'm still having a lot of issues, it has not eased up at all. I am thinking of relocating again. Have you relocated since you wrote this? If so, how did this work out for you? What general kind of place did you relocate to, or are you thinking of relocating to if y... |

| It's so bizarre all this talk of extraterrestrials and UFOs coming from the U. S. I wonder if all just another ploy to justify more absorbadent increases to the military budget. Plus it's also a major distraction from more pressing issues. I suspect that the Pentagon's aim is simply to reduce whate... |

| I should point out I have female co-workers whom I am friends with (at least at work) but they are married so no risks. It's "no risks" if both you and they are 100% scrupulous about not committing adultery, which not everyone is, of course. But I'm not of the school of thought that says ... |

| It's my philosophy that single cis-men should be cautious about being "friends" with single cis-females. I've looked at from every angle and after some time it doesn't really benefit either party. Unless both parties find each other sexually repulsive. Why??? There can be lots of reasons,... |

| Are you in college at age 25? There is a huge difference between how a 19 year old college student views another 19 year old college student who is weird and how the same student views a weird college student who has aged out of the peer class. To a 19 year old, the 25 year old is from a complete o... |

| I'll try to respond to this. So by empathy I don't mean the ability to intellectually understand that another person has feelings and may be hurting inside or even the ability to act on that understanding by showing consideration or trying to be kind to that person. It's actually a couple of things... |

| The line between simping and friendship is very blurry. A friendship should be mutual. If it's just one person doing favors for the other, I guess that's what would be called "simping" these days? It's like a nice warm bath. It's lovely to go in, but you need to know when to get out befor... |

On the first date I took her to an art museum and we ate at the museum café. On the 2nd date, I took her somewhere (probably a restaurant) and kissed her good-n... |
