To the incels who believe in the BS redpill
yOu hAVe tO hAvE 6 SiXeS
So much for needing to be 6 feet tall, 6 figures and 6 pack to fall in love
So much for the nonsense that you need to be Brad Pitt to find an amazing and lovely wife/lover
And so much for all the BS negativity oozing from the incel community claiming women are just a bunch of superficial gold diggers who only go for super wealthy perfect elite men
In case you're wondering the above is a video of famous self help guru Nick Vujacic, a Serbian pastor born without arms or legs. The guy is easily maximum 3 feet fall which is half the 6 feet incels claim you need to be to get a woman
The guy was born with no arms and no legs yet rather than letting that disadvantage him he allowed it to be something that inspired billions of others like me to not limit ourselves
Something I needed to see as these past few days I've been a whiny little self pitying b***h and now that s**t has got to end
This month life did beat me hard and did me dirty, and by not being more vigilant I allowed myself to turn into a weak and pathetic little b***h instead of the strong warrior I used to be
This is what incels dont get
Yes life can kick your ass and do you dirty
And yes there are superficial women who only want Brad Pitt types and certain people cant meet those expectations
However to spend one's time sulking diving into an ocean of self pity is the last thing that will attract anyone
Others could choose to fall down the incel road of accepting the redpill that because I'm shorter, with scars all over my face, with autism, weak bones and a deteriorating body from an unkown illness, that I'm doomed to never succeed or ever find someone I love
Too bad that's not me. I know I'm destined for success and I have my own beloved princess to meet, but a princess can only marry a prince; therefore my duty right now is to transform myself into the baddest Motherf***er there is and that's by being raw and honest with myself and others, get off the couch, and try to fight for my throne and right to succeed.
2 days down the incel redpill road and I became the opposite of who I am.
Thank god for Nick Vujacic to wake me the hell up and showing me that women dont reject others because they're not Brad Pitt; women reject whining losers, the kind I chose to be temporarily and now reject here and now

You don't have to be George Clooney...
You are lovely. Keep fighting the good fight!!
I am luvly too, btw.
However, I disagree that all redpill is BS, it has some truth in it too.
Some truth, sure. But redpillers want you to believe that any and every man who isn't Brad Pitt can never find any love unless they marry a disabled and ugly woman they hate. I kid you not we actually have members on this forum and on many other Incel communities who spout such BS. And when you give them countefacts and counterarguments all they do is deny it and make up excuses

Very happy to see you, Salad, and sorry life has been beating you up lately.
I usually stay off these incel threads, I want nothing at all to do with their theories, and figure they don't want anything to do with me, but I saw your name and wanted to see how you are doing.
I don't think you have to be a prince to get your princess (it may not even be what the princess wants), but there is nothing wrong with determination to improve yourself, either. I really do wish you the best. You are a good guy, Salad. You will accomplish. I am sure of it.

And I'm very happy to hear from you too since your wisdom and support always helped guide my impetuous self when I needed it most.
Overall I'm doing a lot worse than I was months ago but life is capricious in its vicissitudes and as easily as we fall so we can rise. I hope to get better this month
Right now my biggest issue in life is my brain's reading difficulties. It's not dyslexia, but for whatever reason my brain struggles to activate the ability to read, even on Wrongplanet for leisure
I have to do jihad just to read a few sentences here on WP and I dont know why my brain is like this. If I can figure out how to fix my brain's ability to read I could turn myself into a scholar and sever all ties to the vain path of fighting
I only ever identified as a brainless muscle head because of deep insecurities about my reading abilities. I'm desperate to make something of myself outside of athletics and if I can find the cure to fixing my brain I feel like everything will be in place for me to succeed in life

Serious question (that has nothing to do with incels and redpills):
Do you have trouble comprehending something if you hear it spoken rather than read?
Because if so, you can start using a text-to-speech application for the vast majority of content, and only read where you actually need to. I'm sure you can talk to your caregivers about this.
And the other side of that is, you can also use a speech-to-text program.

I have too much pride to do that
Reading is a fundamental skill in this world and that is why I literally break my back to read (and I mean break back literally. You see I have to hold the book right to my eyes and my phone the same, and that strains my back)

Do you have a Speech-Language pathologist subsequent to your brain injury? After my first stroke I had SLP support for reading and comprehension. "Language" in SLP doesn't just mean speech or listening. It's anything related to receptive or expressive language including reading or writing, planning tasks using executive function (making mental or written lists, understanding and following written directions), etc.

Well, that's stupid. If you can acquire knowledge with less strain, you can save your eyes/brain cells for reading the stuff that isn't digitized, like "Men's restroom" signs.
Your first job as a person with a disability is to accept the fact and then learn compensatory strategies. Or maybe you're better than me. It's going to be a long, long road, my friend.

You're talking to the guy who while physically paralyzed this month still attempted to go to the gym and workout
When I want something I will get it because I'm stubborn and always get what I want
That wont change
And if reality doesnt bend to my will I'll make it

OK, I have done so many ridiculous things in my life because I tend to be the same way (with things I care about, anyway), which is why I'm sitting here chuckling. "No" is not a word I take in. The determination can be a wonderful trait, persistence can be incredibly essential to success, but the stubbornness can also result in, well, ridiculousness. The trick is to know the difference. And allow yourself a good laugh at yourself when you've chosen poorly. So I guess my advice is to not let yourself get stuck in the mud when there really isn't any good reason to. Recognize when your stubbornness is actually holding you back or creating new problems.
I don't know if text to speech is the right answer, but do wonder if it could be used as a bridge. Kind of like recognizing that the river can be crossed successfully if you simply grab a balance pole. Have you worked with any reading or sight experts on the issue?
