Inland Empire: "People need to know of your vast, oceanic soul."

That Dude: "My soul is immense."

Inland Empire: "Utterly. And it needs to be heard. Through a hate forum. By other people."

Wow, women sound like they have a pretty good deal. Maybe one could live as a woman, right?

"Being born with a dick makes you impossibly smart and noble, but also, it's like hard to be that smart and noble"

To the men reading this with some recognition: if you have been trained by society to see your own self worth as being only about what you can sacrifice of yourself for others, it’s possible to change that. It’s a slow, gradual, and difficult process, but you can learn to surround yourself with people who value you for who you are, to allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to accept that appreciation, to view yourself as innately worthy of love and attention, and to set healthy boundaries which protect your mental/emotional resources without isolating you from others. If you find yourself agreeing with this post, you’re not alone, but the path out is not to blame women. The patriarchy did this to you and the healing process will involve a lot of introspection and taking responsibility for things that are not necessarily your fault. That kind of self-determination is well worth it

What if I told you that men do this to each other and they can stop at any time.

Why do these 4chan diaspora types always talk like this? Ceaselessly prattling on about this supposed great spiritual strife that ( western) men go through? They all use this highly dramatic and flowery prose that I guess its supposed to sound inspirational but they always end up sounding like a villain from a fucking Marvel movie. It's so corny!

This guy used an awful lot of words just to say "I and everyone else on this trash board are incapable of acting like normal human beings, so I have to retreat to my safe space so I can make fun of trans people on an anonymous forum."

Stop staring at the sun bro I'm begging you

Everyone has periods when they feel alienated and utterly alone, scorned by the world etc. Etc.

When I was a teenager the answer seemed to be to goth up, smoke very bad hash in the graveyard and drink snakebites.

Actually thinking about it, a lot of the goths at my school were girls so I dunno where the fuck the idea its only men who can feel like this comes from.

ah yes gendered solipsism

Man, I can't even dunk, this is just so sad. Don't self-mutilate your psyche, folks, don't romanticize this incredibly liberal conception of a man as an island and instead embrace the people who love you and tell them that you love them back. :heart-sickle:
