*If you have a life worth being grateful for, some of you are genuine truecels and have my sympathies
(long post)


Went back to uni today and it made me realise that despite my insecurities, I actually have it really fucking good in the grand scheme of things. Like I saw a dude coming out of the lecture who was genuinely like 5’2”, completely underdeveloped face, borderline prepubescent looking. Another who was a full on norwood 5 whilst being the same age as me. So many recessed, under/overweight guys, guys wearing dirty raggedy clothes with no sense of style or pride in their appearance. Guys who can’t afford a proper laptop, guys who are severely ND. I’m no chad, and have always struggled with my own insecurities but it made me realise how far I’ve came when I genuinely mog in this room and get a lot of IOIs on campus.

Chances are, there are SO many people in similar circumstances to you that have it so much worse, not even considering all of the people in third world shitholes or warzones or living on the streets. Granted its an engineering class so its perhaps disproportionately filled with subhuman mutants, but it grounded me a bit.

The avg person is not your average social media personality, nor your average person posting in the ratings section. Those people actually care about their looks and only post the best (probably edited) shots of themselves and you compare normal, undoctored and unfrauded views of yourself and let it harm your self-image.

The average man uses a 3-in-1 shampoo every day, dresses horribly, thinks skincare is gay and eats like shit. Unless you’re deformed or a manlet you WILL mog the average dude if you softmaxx. Ignore the “looksflation” “BP is mainstream” BS its a chronically online take, all normies know is “mog” and “canthal tilt” and clav at the worst they aren’t doing shit. The average guy (in the west) is a looksminned, 5’9” LTN. The stasticially average guy also still loses his virginity at like 17, has a few relationships and hookups in his life and usually eventually finds a loyal, lifelong partner.

People say “capped at MTN” as some sort of brutal fate like you can’t have an amazing life, somewhat easy access to casual sex and a cute partner as a tall-ish MTN with decent social skills at least. We get too wrapped up in the BP and our flaws as if you have to be Hexum to get laid or have a successful LTR and a social life but thats a chronically online incel take. I never see MTNs saying shit like that, its always genuine subhumans probably trying to cope with the rarity of their circumstance by arguing that the avg joe has it so bad too.

So yeah. A lot of you whine about not being chad, or “only” being like 5’10” or having minor flaws. But you should be able to see, even from just interacting with this forum’s truecels that if you’re just mediocre/avg then you probably still have it pretty good, and would find yourself quite successful if you regularly talked to women and shot enough shots. Never let your self esteem stop you from taking those risks or you are literally cucking yourself. The bold LTN will be fucking your oneitis raw before you so much as get a feel of her if you refuse to approach until you “ascend”.

This was mainly directed at the hoard of avg- above avg greys who whine on here every day about not being chad

Don’t compare yourself too much to others
If you’ve been trying and failing to lose it then figure out your issues
Chances are you probably just haven’t shot your shot enough, took me until 18 because I genuinelly never asked out or even dmed a girl until then

No not as a bad thing
My point was that despite the avg guy being entirely mid, he’s still able to lose his virginity pretty young because he doesn’t self limit himself (by saying that he’ll never get laid because he’s not HTN/ not 6’4”) and because he has a (often delusionally) good self-image and so BELIEVES he can get girls and doesn’t get demoralised whenever he’s rejected

You’re fine man, don’t stress too much about milestones and just focus on living your life the right way and improving your looks where you can and it shouldn’t be too hard

Some foids have approached me but I dnred them
Some have also gave me iois, but Im too high inhib to talk to them
So I just sit at the back of the class and daydream abt fucking em
BrutaI inhibition pill
I'm BIack BTW so inhibition is supposed to be mw thing, but ig I'm a high inhib bIk maIe I'm not autist just high inhib.

For example when I go outside I have to wear a coat/jacket always. And I have to wear my hood up bc don't like being watched by these ngas.
I have my head tilted down almost aIways
I'm like average height so not short but it's annoying bc I freeze in fear when Iooking at ppl for some reason.
It's so odd even random who I don't know I just freeze in fear so I just Iook at the ground hood up and navigate through the area
How do I fix this shit?

Yeah your problem is entirely your inhib not your looks
You’ll want to focus on radically changing your thoughts and behaviours

First of all stop worrying about being perceived and about what random people think. It has little bearing on your life and they probably don’t care. Hiding yourself in fear from the world will bring you nothing but isolation, loneliness and inceldom

Slowly work towards lowering your inhib. Make a list of things you want to do, but are too shy/scared to, and order them from easiest to hardest. Start with things as simple as just making eye contact with strangers, talking to people at a bus stop etc. Work all the way up to things like flirting with and asking out girls, saying strange things to strangers etc. Exposure therapy desensitises you to risk. It seems impossible at first but with each task you complete, the easier the next gets
Good luck bhai

Thanks for this advice. I would also like to add that it increased tenfold around ppI that I respect / foids.
For example 6 foot muscular htn I will literally be frozen in fear or if a foid is near I can't look at them.
It happens to others too, like a person compliments me for example, and then afterwards I assume that that like me, but I don't want them to start disliking me for whatever reason, which spikes my anxiety and then I end up freezing in fear when I see these people, which causes them to distance themselves from mw which leads to me just deciding to look on the ground and just dnr everyone.
It's BrutaI really is.
Some people just Iaugh at me now bc they are fed up with this bs, but I cant help it and I would try and stop it if I could

Sorry to hear man
You’re still young you’d be surprised how far you can come in a year
You first need to consciously identify that this behaviour is irrational
From there just practice forcing yourself to have basic, normal interactions with people. Once you realise that nothing bad will happen (and, if it does, it will be insignificant in the long run), it will become easier to do it again- positive reinforcement
Identify when you do this and shut it off. Next time you start dnring someone force yourself to divert your attention to them and respond, even if meekly/briefly because you can’t muster a proper response at first. Build up your confidence slowly

People need to internalize ts cause it really will happen. You don’t need to be htn to live a good life
