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

    I don’t care and won’t give you any narcissistic supply to feed your victim narrative.

    Weird thing to say at the end of a comment where you proved every concern of his right

      It is not my job to manage his feelings. That’s caretaking a narcissist and makes them worse. It’s ok to communicate (ie “I do not care”) and put up boundaries (I won’t respond). Further, his main concern was that him not having a girlfriend makes others label him as weird - no. It’s that he himself is weird, not anything to do with women. So no, I did nothing to “confirm” his false beliefs, it is not my job as a woman to caretake or cater to his fears or perform emotional labor for men. Grow up.

      But nice attempt at DARVO there

        You dregs from reddit are so much worse than the Eternal November dregs from Twitter, at least most of those had a couple brain cells to rub together and maybe also one or two original thoughts in their entire life.

        You just called him a narcissist for expressing his feelings.

        It went from him saying “maybe don’t attack men over their relationship status” and you take offense at “not being the caretaker of their emotions” and continue to attack him, while also invoking the very same darvo you’re employing…

        How are you lacking this much self awareness?

          No, I didn’t, read again.

          No, he didn’t, read again.

          I’m not going to cater to you either, just letting you know since you clearly have the same vulnerable narcissism lmfao. Go pound sand

            You have a real knack for demonstrably defeating your own arguments as you are making them. It’s honestly impressive.

            Do you even know what narcissism is? You’re just throwing that at everyone who cares to point how how wrong you are, regardless of any lack of speaking about themself.

                There’s no projection here. You’ve been throwing unprompted insults at everyone that responds to you all over this thread.

                You can stop pretending you’re the one in the right, here. No one else buys it.

                You continue to lack any self awareness.

                  “You, you, you.” Sure, there’s no projection here lmfao. Vulnerable narcs are honestly pathetic and so, so boring.

                    Are you under the impression that anytime someone speaks to you, it’s projection?

                    Are you unable to see that the person who thinks they can just dismiss people on a public forum who point out the blatant issues with their “argument” is the actual narcissist here? I agree people like you are pathetic.

                    If you were really bored you’d stop responding
