I'd do anything to go back and get out of this mindset back in my senior year of high school a a year and a half ago. I can safely say that I understand that it's all nothing but nihilism and brainwashing. Yes, some women are horrible people. Yes, some men (a lot more men than women in my experience) are horrible people. Yes, looks matter, but as long as you are at least average people aren't throw up at the sight of your face or start laughing when you walk into a room. PSL has made me critique other men's faces every time I see a dude walk by. I analyze everything.

Does he have a jawline? How is his eye area? Am I taller than him? How is his philtrum? Do I MOG him??? (I would use "mog" unironically.)

I understand that there are things like the stigma against men's mental health, the #metoo movement, and the whole "be confident or die" mentality of society. But when you're told that you are subhuman, that women are incapable of love, women are always looking for better, and the 80/20 rule, that shit is anxiety inducing to young lonely men.

But, I've accepted that I'll forever be damaged by all of it. It gave me a world view that is based in SOME truth. This makes me paranoid and untrusting of anyone anymore.
