I just wanted to highlight this specific point outside of any other context that may obscure it.
Oftentimes, we see a bunch of misogynist and/or racist garbage tied up with incel ideology, making it difficult to address this specific point. It’s easy and obvious to pick out the clearly violent content that incels regularly generate and knock it down in isolation (as it deserves).
But we often slide by the true consequences of incel entitlement.
As I say in the title: if your happiness exclusively depends on somebody else, you are not ready to be with that somebody else. You do not deserve that somebody else.
It doesn’t matter if you are a toxic incel, a peaceful incel, just a lonely guy who wants to be in a relationship, the next Elliot Rogers, the incel king, or the progenitor Chad himself. If your sense of self worth exclusively depends on somebody else, you are not prepared for, and do not deserve, that other person.
You are an **emotionally dependent person**, and your emotional dependence **will not change** just because you find yourself in a relationship.
If you feel worthless because you don’t have a relationship, you will feel worthless because you feel you can’t keep a relationship once you’re in it. Instead of complaining about how alone you are, you will now begin looking over your shoulder at every mistake you make because you’ll be paralyzed with fear over your partner leaving you.
**Emotional dependence ruins relationships**
Being emotionally dependent means you have nothing to give back to your partner, because you depend on your partner to give you emotions in the first place.
You cannot give your partner happiness if you depend on your partner for happiness.
You cannot give your partner love if you depend on your partner to give you love first.
You will destroy your relationship because, as soon as your partner comes back from work and isn’t happy, you will unable to give them the emotions and qualities you depend on them to give you. At the risk of sounding blunt, being emotionally dependent is essentially being an emotional leech. You take and take, never giving back, slowly destroying the relationship you were never prepared to have in the first place.
And to the incels that think you can solve that problem by just finding somebody so broken they will never leave you, all you’re doing is multiplying your pain. The other person will be doing to you what I just outlined you will be doing to them.
An emotionally codependent relationship is a toxic relationship. Rather than both of you contributing to the relationship, all you’re doing is both taking from the same limited reservoir of relationship emotions. Two people drinking from a stagnant well will quickly cause it to run dry, and they will both die of thirst because neither person will be strong enough to fix the well on their own.
To summarize.
If your entire sense of self esteem depends on somebody else, you are not ready for a relationship, you do not deserve the relationship, and you will more than likely kill the relationship if you actually manage to get it.
If you think you can get around this by just attaching yourself to another emotionally dependent person, all you’re doing is doubling your problems.
You need to be an emotionally independent person, capable of giving back to the relationship at least as much as you get from it, before you’re ready to seek one.
