Screenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

    They are a vulnerable narcissist, like most misogynists/incels. They pathologically must pretend to be a victim to curate their delusions about women.

    Although harboring a grandiose sense of self importance, entitlement and need for admiration, a type of narcissism known as vulnerable narcissism is also characterized by feelings of insecurity, low self-esteem, and hypersensitivity to criticism

    People with this type of narcissism tend to be more vulnerable to rejection and have difficulty forming meaningful relationships. They may also become easily overwhelmed and have difficulty dealing with stress

    “A vulnerable narcissist describes someone who is hypersensitive to rejection and extremely self-conscious. They tend to be insecure, as well. They become angry or offended when not put on a pedestal. A person with vulnerable narcissism is highly sensitive to criticism. People with vulnerable narcissism often lack empathy. If they do show empathy it is used to build their own self-importance.”

      At the very least there is some serious cognitive dissonance going on…

      If this isn’t about “women withholding sex” as they claim…then what is it about? Like, how am I supposed to make you have friends? Relationships of any sort are hard work, no one just hands you their time and effort.

        By their own words, it is about being criticized and thus victimized (they equate the two) by society for not having a girlfriend. No matter what you say, this is their victim narrative that they have to keep repeating over and over again to confirm their delusions that they are a massive victim to society. Anything you say will be interpreted as an attack so they can self victimize and feed their vulnerable narcissist beliefs. It is in every comment they’ve written here, nearly algorithmic.
