LaHermes Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 On foot of a dreadful shooting a day or so ago in Plymouth (U.K.) and reading the report about the killer (who also shot himself)I feel not enough importance and attention is given to this disturbing issue: "https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/minority-report/202007/the-incel-ideology" "When Incels (Involuntary Celibates) or those with "Incel-like" tendencies come into my office or ask about my services, they will often first distance themselves from describing themselves as extreme Incels as some have been associated with misogynistic, angry, and violent men who endorse killing men and women based on their sexual frustrations." Also known as NEETS (Not in Education, Employment or Training), basement dwelling, unkempt and socially isolated white men. The report on the shooting mentioned: "In the online videos Jake Davison said he was socially isolated, struggled to meet women and made references to "incels" - the misogynistic online groups of "involuntary celibate" men, who blame women for their sexual failings and who have been linked to a number of violent acts around the world." Here is Davison again: "He also alludes to a financial dispute with his mother over benefit money that he felt he was owed because he claimed he had autism. A month ago, he wrote: “Luckly i got PIP money because i legit have autism which i should have taken from my mother at 18 years old really but like an idiot she manipulated and guilt tripped me in lettering her have it until at 22 i decided enough is enough and i took it from her.”" He also shot a three year old girl in his insane murdering spree. Incels are caricatured as NEETS (Not in Education, Employment or Training), basement dwelling, unkempt and socially isolated white men. Link to comment
greendots Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Where did bluecastle and j.man go? Some of the regulars are MIA. Whilst I was reading some of the posts, I thought if XYZ were here he/she'd know what to say. Some posters are just brilliant with words and in connecting with humans. 1 Link to comment

I figured out how to weed out the "articles" so they don't show up in my feed. I'm sure the intention is good but I found them excessive and distracting. 3 1 Link to comment

greendots Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The guy I have (now it's had) a crush on ignored my message for several days, then left me on read. WTH, I deserved to be treated better. Especially since we're not strangers. Totally fine, if feelings aren't mutual but this 'ghosting' on purpose rubbish is immature. Earlier last week we had been chatting casually - everything seemed okay. He was being polite. Then, suddenly he pulls this sort of passive-aggressive garbage instead of behaving like an adult. I deserved to be treated better. Just needed to vent, lol. Link to comment

greendots Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 There used to be a list where we could post stuff others have said that have impacted us on this forum, I can't find it, so I'll post it here. 2 hours ago, Seraphim said: Most people are over reacting right now because the inconsequential things are all they have. Most of our lives have disappeared before our eyes. Everything seems dramatic and people are willing to die on any hill. Absolutely love this! It's so evident, but when you're going through stuff (like I am right now) you forget this. So, this was a nice reminder Seraphim! Thank you for this wonderful revelation!! Whatever it is that we're going through right now, most likely it's not as bleak as it looks. Everything does really seem dramatic, we over exaggerate. Usually the easy and logical explanation is the correct one. What a beautiful day! ☀️ 1 1 Link to comment
