Looks like we get to make fun of the foreveralones here because not only are they generally unattractive and unpleasant to be around, but their illnesses are costing the taxpayers money and putting unneeded stress on our healthcare system.

C'mon guys. It's not hard to get out of the house and meet people. Don't be lazy.

It is when you can't fix yourself, you see every failure as yet more proof that you are human garbage that deserves to die alone. Having absolutely no self worth can't be fixed by just powering through it or kind words from family, if you aren't able to mentally fix yourself everything becomes yet another dagger into your body to twist how worthless you are to the point death looks like salvation

a foreveralone tries to talk to a girl
she rolls her eyes and thinks he is a weirdo and leaves fearing for her life

you see this and laugh out loud and mock him

he goes home and cries and prays that he might die because he don't want to live anymore

not hard to get out the house though right?

I kinda feel this way too.

I feel fine when I'm actually alone, and I don't feel "alone" until I'm left out of a social circle.

This is all just excuses. All you have to do to better yourself is go outside, and talk to people. Gets easier for most people each time you do it.

(if you haven't figured it out yet this is all a metaphor for how obese people are treated when they try to make excuses for how hard losing weight is)

I agree it shouldn't be taboo and illegal, but hiring a prostitute isn't really going to make you any less lonely than ordering a pizza. At the end of the day, it's just another business transaction. Most lonely people aren't completely isolated hermits. You aren't forming meaningful interpersonal relationships. In some ways, I imagine prostitution is even more impersonal than other jobs.

Take it like a man and move on to the next girl. It's nothing. It happens to everyone and the best shrugs it off.

Yes, because it's totally easy to make friends with people who actually care about you and wouldn't betray you and stab you in the back. And everyone in life totally has time for you, even if they have even deeper friendships, are parents, or are even in good relationships /s

No it's not. People can view you as a pest if you just talk to them. Others won't care about you. Others may treat you as an aqautance and not hang around you

Friendships are a two way street. One person cannot make all the effort while the other person doesn't give a shit about you. Not everyone experiences the same thing you do, one thing is not universal when it comes to social interaction. A lot can be through chance and a thing called luck

This is made even more apparent in the real world where people work 9-5 jobs 5 days a week.

No it doesn't. Good looking people don't get rejected by the opposite sex. It does not happen to everyone. If you keep getting rejected, why would their be a motivation to keep continuing? Positive results yield better motivation. Negative results demotivate.

Liking is a two way street. And there are different forms of liking. Someone might like you as an aquaitance, but nothing more. Others strictly for business

Making friendships isn't universal. It all depends on how they feel about you. You can make an effort all you want, but if they don't care, then why keep trying? It's why I hate when people think their is this 100% science to social interaction that works every single time. There isn't!

You can be a decent person, and people may still make fun of you or not give a shit about you. Or talk behind your back. And even if they like you, it's no guarantee that they would find time out of their schedule to hang out with you or spend more time with you

So many complications and stipulations to consider. Which is why social interaction is never guaranteed, and for some people, it becomes harder as you grow older. Because as people grow older, they may lose the same interest, personality may change, or they go in deep set relationships

To echo this, the dirty little secret is friends and family will eventually give up on you making it worse. People are super supportive in the beginning and try to encourage you, but if it drags on for years it just starts to lead to apathy. Not that they hate you, but it's just kinda meh. Years down the road you aren't getting that you can do it attitude anymore. It's like they know you won't be fixed.
