If you view yourself as an incel, then you have really swallowed those lies down whole about who you are and how you should see yourself.

Incel is a nice convenient label that you can apply to yourself that both absolves you from any sort of desire or drive to improve yourself. And really, hardly anybody cannot improve themselves.

My son has friends that he has previously described as "Incel". My son is in primary school. How on earth can a fucking 10 year old be an incel? But those are terms those kids have already internalised. The term Self Fulfilling Prophecy obviously hasn't entered the chat yet hey?

If you are actively calling yourself an incel, there's one of two things you can do. First, stop calling yourself an incel and work on improving yourself. Nobody is unfuckable. The second thing is recognise symptoms of depression. While I rarely advocate going to a doctor and sucking down SSRIs, if you feel you need to go seek some counselling, it isn't expensive to do so if it's what you need right at that moment. If you feel very depressed, call the fucking samaritans. No joke, they're far more qualified than me to talk to you about it.

Fuck incel rights - there is no such thing as an incel. Not at the rate we promote anyway! You know what? Most men go through a track record of not getting laid. A good bunch of women do too! Hell there have been women that have approached me that I just really didn't find attractive and passed on. I wouldn't call them incels or unfuckable either. They just weren't for me. And guess what, there will be times where the object of your desire won't like you too. It happens, it's called life.

Can the incel shit, concentrate on your own shit, boom.

Online incel has just taken the meaning of dweeb or uncool with the kids. It's like how kids in the 90's said everything was gay. They didn't know what it meant besides a stock insult. They loved the adults getting testy with it so they used it more.

Maybe it's isolated to my son's peer group, but they do seem to have a very particular definition of it.

"This guy is such an incel he will never get any girl. He should just go trans"

My boy knows full well not to engage with it but it depresses me wholly that he's even aware of these sorts of terms. I know when I was young, when I was falling by the wayside and going with societal pressures, my academic performance dropped. I'm watching for the same. Should it happen, things will change. My daughter is already being home schooled from next year, I have no problem with doing the same with my son when he comes of age.

Same old bullying of the weird kids, different insults.

Be careful with the homeschooling despite the problems with the school system, it's incredibly easy to fuck up homeschooling and incredibly difficult to notice until years later. I'd only recommend it as an absolute last resort.
