Well, I do want friendships for sure. I guess I have seen so many examples of toxic incel friends that obsess over wanting a girlfriend, and that having a girlfriend would fix all of their problems, and don't have obviously bigger issues to worry about.

Maybe I listen to the man-haters too much. I am willing to change my mind.

EDIT: I also have to tell you that I'm a huge NEET, so I do feel very unaccomplished and said career, only to find out that is capitalistic propaganda. So there is that.
