Confessions of a Former Incel
How did it start?
I became really active in those communities starting about 2015-2016, when I was a 16 year-old kid, and it all started with a couple of those “feminist owned” compilations that were plastered everywhere at the time.
At the time I was dealing with a lot of problems for a kid my age, and a lot of things that contributed to me being a target for these groups. I had an alcoholic mother who would pass out during the day and leave me to look after 2 kids, I dealt with SA as a child that gave me weird views about sex and relationships, and I had undiagnosed ASD & ADHD which made it hard to keep friends, do well at school, and have any sort of positive opinion of myself.
What is Seppuku?
Seppuku is a ritualized and institutionalized form of suicide among the Samurai in Feudal Japan, performed by plunging a sword into your stomach and disemboweling yourself.
It was fundamentally an “honorable” way to commit suicide when you would otherwise be killed, not some random act done based on minor embarrassment.
Samurai would do it rather than be captured by a hostile force or after being convicted of very serious crimes. Sometimes it would be a requirement for a peace treaty and basically replaced killing the leader of the losing faction.

White supremacist who killed 10 people at a supermarket in tears when he learns he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
The 19-year-old White man who killed 10 people in a racist mass shooting at a grocery store in a predominantly Black area of Buffalo last May apologized to the victims’ families and was sentenced to life in prison during an emotional court hearing Wednesday.
Keeping Up With The Joneses

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of seeing your neighbor drive up in their beautiful new car or hearing about their fabulous planned vacation.
It can make you forget about every other plan or goal you’ve made for yourself. Keeping up with the Joneses can eat away at your financial dreams.
“Keeping up with the Joneses” means to try to own all the same things as people you know in order to seem as good as them.
But when you’re making purchases that have no value beyond impressing others, you’re shortchanging your future.

Confessions From The Dead Bedrooms Community
1. I can’t do anything but laugh/cry at this point. On Monday night my wife laying next to me rolled over and showed interest. It’s been a 14 year relationship. 6 of them dead bedroom.
She started by kissing my ear and I thought what do you want. It got to the point a year ago where I stopped trying entirely. I had now gotten body issues and severely depressed from the all the rejections and can’t connect with her physically out of a mental trigger of fear of rejection or something.

Picture of the Day
9 year old Eunice Winstead with her 22 year old husband, Charlie Johns, in Tennessee, 1937.
Before the marriage the Reverend quickly looked over their marriage license and everything seemed to be in order. Issued six days earlier, that legal document allowed him to marry 18 year old Eunice Blanche Winstead to 22 year old Charlie Jess Johns. Of course it turned out the couple had lied on their marriage application.
