Many people like to complain a lot. But in the end, they are mostly content with their situation.
The fat guy who complaints about being fat but who just won't stop eating
The basement rotter who complaints about being lonely but who just won't go outside
The ugly guy who complaints about being ugly but who just won't get any surgeries
Although their current lifestyles come with inconveniences, boredom, and limitations, they probably think that the lifestyle they have now is the most practical one and that it's just easier to leave things as they are. On the other hand, if one chooses a new lifestyle, no one can predict what might happen to the new self, or have any idea how to deal with these events as they arise. It will be hard to see ahead of the future. Simply put, people want to change but changing is scary. You don't want to change so much that you'd be willing to sacrifice the pleasures you enjoy now. You don't want to make a real effort.
But don’t make any mistakes here. Even though this might gives you comfort for the moment you will pay the price in the long run. The fat guy will pay. The rotter will pay. The ugly guy will pay. Prolonged boredom is not tenable as a position: sooner or later it is transformed into feelings that are acutely more painful, of true pain.
Afterward I often hear, "No that's not my fault, I just got unlucky". Well, I can’t deny that such cases exist, some people just got extremely unlucky (think of children who get cancer and die) but the majority of people (and that includes the majority of incels) are somehow in the midrange when it comes to unluck and luck. The big difference between failed basement rotter virgins and successful normies isn't luck, it's fortune. Now what's the difference you may ask?
Luck is random chance.
Luck is a winning lottery ticket. Or a slot machine.
You have no control over luck.
Being fortunate is similar to luck, but with a key difference. Good fortune adds a level of control to random chance.
Being fortunate means you created your luck
Being fortunate means that if you get an opportunity created by luck you dare to use it instead of just letting it slide. Grab life by the balls so to say.
And incels don‘t do this. They don't create chances and if they get the opportunity by luck they just let it pass by. How many times have I read about incels who let obvious IOI pass by just because they were too scared. How many times have I read about Incels who chickened out before surgery just to complain a few years later how they wished they just would have gotten surgery (sooner).
So always remember: You chose this yourself. It was your own decision. Every moment, every single day you chose against your own happiness. But the good news is you can change. It's not too late. It's not over.
