You know "Unrequited Lust" that if you just admit right here and now that you're another PUA then we might not call you a troll off the bat. It would almost certainly give you a bit more respect here regarding your true intentions for being here rather than coming off as a douchebag and us having to guess that you're just another PUA.

I had to google "PUA" to figure out what it means, and I assure you I am not one and that I am genuine. I sincerely believe that I suffer from love-shyness. I suffer from major depressive disorder because of my love-shyness, and I take anti-depressants for it, 60 mg of celexa (trying to get that to 80 mg, the maximum) and 100 mg of seroquel (aggrandizes anti-depressants, trying to get that to 600 mg for more "zombification," again the maximum). I'm also interested in electro-shock therapy because apparently that has high success rates.

And if simply stating that I don't believe "looks" to be of as much importance as the other 3 I named makes me a douchebag, then I'm a douchebag. Sorry.

Another reason for my disbelief in looks is because I think I'm fairly attractive yet no girls like me. Just personal experience.

I answered the questions. But I don't know even know what the incel forum is, and I have accounts on other forums, mostly Unrequited Lust. English is my first language, but my prose does turn purple from time to time... force of habit. Also I'm really sorry that I'm coming off as a douchebag that wasn't my intention at all. I was just happy to find a forum that specializes in this. Because for the longest time I thought it was just a really small minority, or at least a really small minority that was bothered by it. I'm just saying my opinions. Sorry if they convey any effrontery.

My friends blame me for that... self-hatred. I have pretty much no self-esteem and they say it's my negativity that hinders my success. If I tried harder, maybe I'd be more lucky. But I don't believe that.

I've never really been bullied, and in middle school, hanging out with the unpopular kids (ironically, my two best friends were very popular, but they only hung out with me outside of school), I witnessed a lot of scorn for the "upper-class." And I really never got why. No one was ever mean to us, and we all got along fine during class; everyone was friendly to one another. And I noticed that throughout high school. I don't know, maybe where I live is weird. No one every told us we couldn't hang out with them. None of us tried to hang out with them. Nothing was every said, even implicitly. So I got to thinking that people conform to their niche, and it's nobody's fault but one own. For example, who decides that the popular kids are popular? Do they all of a sudden proclaim themselves superior? No. It's just tacitly understood by everyone that they're the popular kids. If you're not one, well then you're not one.

If a girl doesn't like me, I don't blame her. I don't blame myself for not liking certain girls. Why should I blame other people? I don't know, that's just the way I grew up. Might've been different for other people here.

I've no doubt one's environment counts for a heck of a lot, so I picked that option, I'm hugely intrigued by what such geographical, demographic and socio-economic causes of incel might be. But I don't lose sight of the effect of my own persona - you have it listed as "bad" personality but I would say more a case of social skills and communication skills.
