Discussion Why I’ll Never Be a Man of Action (And Neither Will You, Probably)

[alopeciacurrycel]

There are two types of people: the Man of Action and the Hyperconscious Overthinker. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, congratulations, you’re probably a Man of Action and should go do something productive instead of reading this. For others, the years of bullying, isolation and rejection has rewired out brain into this mess. We’re stuck in the Notes from Underground dilemma—overthinking, self-sabotaging, and mentally debating whether we should even exist in the first place.

Man of Action: The Guy Who Just Does Things​

The Man of Action doesn’t sit around questioning the meaning of life. He just wakes up, eats his breakfast, and does things.

• Got a problem? Solve it.
• Want something? Go get it.
• Someone bumps into you on the street? Punch them in the face and move on.

Does he think too much? Nope. That’s why he wins. He doesn't ask himself "But what does it really mean to win?" because that’s for losers like us.

Hyperconscious Overthinker: The Guy Who Thinks Himself into Oblivion​

Now, the Hyperconscious Man (i.e., me, you, and anyone who’s ever overanalyzed a text message) is the exact opposite. Instead of taking action, he:

1. Questions everything until he’s paralyzed.
2. Creates problems that don’t exist.
3. Refuses to act because acting would make him just like those simple-minded idiots who don’t think deeply.

Why We Suffer (And Why We’ll Never Change)​

Dostoevsky’s Underground Man figured it out: once you become too self-aware, you can never go back. A Man of Action lives in blissful ignorance, while we overthinkers are too busy deconstructing reality to do anything useful.

So what do we do? Nothing.
Maybe complain about it on an incel forum.
And then overthink whether posting it was a good idea.

I am a man of action, what does that have to do with being incel? Fakecel if you're here because you "overthought" or "didn't try hard enough."

A man of action is just a man willing to use force to get what we want, we're violence enjoyers

I feel like a lot of incels would not relate to this, if you are socially isolated for a long enough time and didn't have social connections during your childhood, it would be rare for you to be a "Man of action"

"It’s not just that I’m not spiteful, but I’ve never really been able to be
anything: neither spiteful nor good, neither a villain nor an honest man,
neither a hero nor an insect. I’m now living out my days in my corner,
tormenting myself with the spiteful and utterly useless comfort that an
intelligent man cannot seriously become anything and that it is only a fool
that does."

These are the people that bury themselves in debt and post on Reddit about how amazing their gf/wife is while she fucks other guys.

Absolutely loved the book, crazy that it was written such a long time ago

If you're talking about incels.is posters i'd agree with you. In the real world though most incels don't even know we're incel. I've seen men that are social, can communicate well but it doesn't matter. They don't have the looks to attract a female.
