Sometimes I wish I grew up in the hood because having a tough upbringing tends to cultivate a low-inhibited, nothing-to-lose, live-for-the-day mindset.
Growing up middle class often comes with a sense of moral obligation. This might lead to you being more high-inhibited and rationalizing your life decisions a lot, potentially making you miss out on crucial social opportunities.
A lot of middle-class people often look up to high-class individuals and try to emulate them by bagging as much status indicators as possible. You might have gotten top grades in your class, gone on to attain prestigious career titles and achieved financial security. Basically you’ve got it all in the bag careerwise. Yet deep down you still feel socially “stunted” compared to your thug classmates and feel as if your life never measured up to theirs when it came to truly living.
That’s the tragedy of oversocialization, suffering from your own moral behaviour and being obsessed with doing things the “right way”. That really makes you think, “What’s the point of being morally righteous when no one else is?” After all, it’s a losing move from a game theory perspective.
When you’re born into wealth, money can at least shield you from all that normie drama that leads to disillusionment in the first place growing up. Inceldom seems like a middle-class phenomenon from feeling too much pressure having to play by the “rules”. Effortless action/not playing as always is the only viable move for people who grew up “normal” and ended up disillusioned.
