One way to do that is to rope. But there is another way.
The other way is to make sense of what happened, i.e. why there are so many incels now while there were very few just a six decades ago, or so.
This is the only way not to rope and this is basically what all oldcels have done (more or less). To summarize, there are only two possibilities:
Today, we have shrinks instead of priests. These are charlatans. They do not understand their own culture (they even explicitly reject cultural issues as a cause of mental illness ) and have no more than a few decades of past experience to work with. That short period is far below the minimum to make any sense. As a result, they are far inferior to priests as far as it comes to helping you make sense of things. The only thing they can do is turn you into a drooling vegetable with drugs. Often, they make your mental pain worse.
So, coming back to option 2, you have to work it out on your own.
For this, you need to be familiar with how human culture developed in the last 6000 years (that is about how long civilization existed). In other words, you need to be familiar with:
Either you are able to make sense of where Inceldom fits in all of this, or you rope.
In other words, you have to be your own priest.
