Sigh, this is hopeless. "Just get a social circle with 150+ people and go out all the time." Might as well say "fly to the moon by flapping with your arms."

I'm in the middle. I wouldn't be happy with anything. And I don't require a 10 either.

Okay. He also often puts his hand on his heart when he says "thank you". I've never before seen a muslim do that, but I guess every time has a first time.

@Emerald So should I prove to you and everyone else that I'm a true incel? How can I prove it? Any suggestions? Oh yeah you will demand that I do things that are completely impossible for me. Literally impossible. You can't accept the fact that some people are unable to do some things. And I think that's the problem.

@Emerald It's not possible to meet every woman on earth. And also being a incel doesn't mean that you should take any gf, no matter how unattractive she is. I wouldn't want a gf who is a 1 on my attractiveness scale, it would be impossible. I guess now you can say "see, you're not involuntarily single". But I wouldn't demand a 10 either. And a gf wants the guy to think that she's attractive.

What a solid piece of evidence that there doesn't exist a single incel on earth. Not. That argument is based more on emotions than on rationality.

Those guys who you are talking about have something in their personality which people like. So they don't suck. You're ignoring all those incel cases which do exist, because you have seen some guys who seem to suck, but still has managed to get a gf. How many such guys have you seen? Let's say max 15. How many billions of incels is there in the world who you ignore just because you've seen 15 guys who seem to suck but still has managed to get a gf?

Someone who is able to have a social circle doesn't suck. A person who truly sucks wont be able to have a social circle, because that person wont be liked by anyone. So none of the guys you mentioned sucks.

I see.

I don't think the solution is to simply be more social. Only maybe to some incels. I, personally, think that the brutal truth is that most of the incels genuinely suck, so if a man sucks, then it doesn't matter how social he is. I'm talking from personal experience, I genuinely suck, therefore I'm a incel. No amount of social training can cure that. In the same way as a genuinely stupid person can't get a PhD in mathematics or something, no matter how hard that person tries. (I use harsh words like "suck" and "stupid", if you emotionally can't handle them then replace them with more politically correct words like "naturally less attractive" or "less intelligent".) There's high requirements for a PhD in mathematics. In the same way women have high requirements for a partner. And I don't think the incel thing is a new thing.

No I don't. I see, yeah maybe hindus don't pray like that. In that case: nvm about this thread. But it's easy to see the difference between people from asia, middle east and India.. but maybe I'm just stupid.

I think I should've put this thread in Self-Actualization..

I have social anxiety, I don't talk with people, and I have zero social skills, so that question would be too advanced for me. I guess I first need to be 100% sure that he's from India and is a hindu. Right now I'm only 99% sure. I guess I could start with "Where are you from?"

And I have read Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads, The Concise Yoga Vasistha, Ribhu Gita, Ashtavakra Gita, etc.

Yes.

I feel that if enlightenment is the truth, then it shouldn't be so damn difficult to get enlightened. I know there's some teachers who say: "it's not difficult, it's the most simple and obvious thing". But no it's not. It seems to be impossible to attain. I think that maybe 1 or 2 of you who reply are enlightened. But probably none of you are enlightened, if enlightenment even exists. Before even Leo said that he isn't enlightened, but I don't know if he has recently became enlightened. Especially for me it should be easy to attain because I wouldn't mind dying. I have nothing to live for. I'm already done with this life. Some of you will say: "you have to spend billions of hours of hard work to achieve it". There's several problems with that. 1. I don't have the energy for that. 2. I don't have the time for that. 3. I hate doing it. 4. I don't have the discipline for it. 5. I don't want to waste so much effort into something which might not even be true. 6. Psychedelics fucks up my psyche. They make me experience absolutely horrific things which traumatize me for years or possibly for life. I only get bad trips from everything. Even from weed I get bad "trips". I risk getting permanently mentally ill from psychedelics.

I see..

@Leo Gura I have been trying. I'm frustrated.

Is it because I don't have free will? So it's the real I who has free will, not this body/mind? So where is this damn real I? I can't find that bastard.

So the revelation should be easy to get. But it isn't easy. And it's frustrating.

Then it's a achievement.

@impulse9 Why does everyone recommend practices then.

The colors. No. I felt good. Kinda. A bit. Maybe. I don't know how to do it.

I guess I have, it was nice.
