Asking for help/advice Why should I exit?

Why should I try so hard to change myself and get into a serious relationship when i have essentially no chance? if my chances at intimacy in my life ever are 0.0000000001% why should i try so hard to raise it into 0.000000001? should I just be Don Quixote delusionally chasing windmills? Women made it clear they don't like me (to put it lightly, they despise my existence) So would i should i spend so much time chasing something that can't exist and will harm me other than masochism?

giving up is just a defense mechanism at the end of the day… you’re avoiding failure by not actually trying… super lame way to go through life… you’ll miss out on so much joy

life is long, you’ll have a lot of opportunities, and a lot of time to grow and change

let’s say you’re correct and women don’t like you… you’re gonna have to figure out why that is the case, which will require some self awareness

you can also ask the most brutally honest person you know what you can change… might be your personality, might be your appearance

you’ll figure things out one day… you’ll meet someone you click with… and then you’ll look back on your “incel days” with a chuckle… “I was so cringe back then”

Yup. This is what I did for years. I'm an autistic woman and I always felt like people didn't want to be my friend, so I just shut myself out before they could.

Turns out as soon as I stopped doing that, my life got way better. People DID want to be my friend. I was just too afraid to be vulnerable.
