Serious It surprises me the most that the sentence self-fulfilling prophecy is almost never used by incels

You spend your while being rejected, despised, on the receiving end of disgusted and hostile stares, you get bad treatment from women based on their looks, you say sentences that are smart/witty/well-thought/thinkful as your peers but nobody gives it the slightest attention while they laugh and compliment chads for the same things, in those circumstances, it's inevitable you will become angry, resentful, misogynistic, frustrated, bitter, then femoids have a reason to justify their dislike and disgust, this is a very good example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm surprised the sentence is never used here.
 
Most people call it a negative feedback loop.

You have negative experiences > These negative experiences have negative effects on you > These negative effects furthe exacerbate the original cause > You have more negative experiences.

Manlets, for example:
Experience height-shaming > Being shamed for your height makes you either shy or angry > If you are shy, you will be seen as a child. If you are angry, people will see you as having a Napoleon complex > You experience worse height shaming because you now display behaviours of the stereotype you were originally made fun of for.

Hard to discuss self fulfilling prophecies or negative feedback loops with the rope wrapped around your neck is probably why it's not discussed much.
