I think I said something along the lines of, "I prefer being alone". After saying that the people I was with started calling me out as an incel. It got quite nasty actually even though I kept trying to laugh it off.
Yet I've never considered myself an incel. Like I've got nothing against women at all. But they assumed I did because I had not gone out with anyone in a while.
I feel like if you are a single male for a protracted period of time people just start assuming the worst kind of things about you. And there's nothing you can do with some of these people to make them think otherwise.
Or am I the one in the wrong? What's scary is that there were like six or seven people all against me, and so it's kind of hard to believe that they were all wrong and that I alone was right.
