Your involuntary celibacy is not the reason why you are depressed. If life doesn't seem worth living, if everything is futile and pointless and things just make you angry or sad, it's not because you have no bitches. Sure you have no choice but to be an incel. But it's your reaction to inceldom that pains you.If thou art pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs thee, but thy own judgment about it. And it is in thy power to wipe out this judgment now.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
You can have a happy life being forever alone if you take responsibility for the fact that this entire time you've only been hurting yourself by allowing your reactions to bad things control you. All of your emotions and behaviors are reactions to your thoughts. By changing the way you think, you can eliminate the bad feelings and live a more fulfilling life.
For example, a lot of incels hold irrational beliefs that only cause them suffering. These convictions are irrational because they make absolutist demands on the way things should be. By making these demands, you are only turbo cucking yourself by making yourself unhappy. Some of these include:
- I need love and approval, and I must avoid disapproval from any source.
- To be worthwhile as a person I must achieve, succeed at whatever I do, and make no mistakes
- People should always do the right thing. When they behave obnoxiously, unfairly or selfishly, they must be blamed and punished.
- Things must be the way I want them to be, otherwise life will be intolerable.
- My unhappiness is caused by things that are outside my control, so there is little I can do to feel any better
- Because they are too much to bear, I must avoid life’s difficulties, unpleasantness, and responsibilities.
- Events in my past are the cause of my problems – and they continue to influence my feelings and behaviours now.
- I should become upset when other people have problems, and feel unhappy when they’re sad.
- I shouldn’t have to feel discomfort and pain – I can’t stand them and must avoid them at all costs.
