>tell people online i am sub5>without knowing what i look like they say >"bro you're not sub5 stop being defeatist you're probably good looking">tfw im actually legitimately sub5 (facial deformities and balding)why does it offend people so much when you try to state that you're ugly and it's actually true?
>jfl tell ppl im sub5>sub5 actually refers to my deeh size but im moderately handsome otherwiseidk dont have calculator, 13.6/2.54
>>84610439because they themselves are sub5s and hate thinking about it. theyre usually indians too
>>84610439People are being sympathetic and encouraging. It's a normal, pro-social human reaction to someone who is despondent. Even if they sometimes pretend otherwise, most people prefer a comforting lie over a harsh, blunt truth.
>>84610485This. Throughout my childhood and adolescent years whenever I doubted myself and my abilities, both physically and mentally, I was always reassured that I was a "very gifted kid". It didn't just come from the family but from the teachers in my high school. Fast forward years later and here I am, a NEET, khhv who doesn't have any hobbies or interests. The reassurance really took a toll on me and destroyed my self-esteem and I unfortunately still haven't recovered. I can understand my parents wanted to keep me at ease, but to do it until I was 17 was really unacceptable.
>>84610690You are not a very gifted kid I am a very gifted kid I have an IQ of 105 thus I completely fall short of any geniusial abilities yet the expectations erected against me are enormous. Congratulations for falling in the worst IQ zone, also being a KHHV is easily cured by doing 3 months on prison. Good luck!
The absolute state of this board when anons view being sub 5 as a badge of honor, retreat back to your hole Quasimodo
>tell people I'm sub 5>actually a 6 or 7 that can get female attention>disabledWe aren't very different you and I.
>>84610690I think that is a bit of a different situation. People don't normally tell others they are gifted if there is no basis for it. It's very likely you do have some cognitive strengths well above average. However, superior cognitive ability alone isn't sufficient to achieve success in life. Social skills and other personality traits are arguably more important.
>>84610703Ouch, I can really see how that has an impact on you. I don't think I would have been in this state if my parents were actually open with me in my early adolescent years and were straightforward with me. I'm torn between being frustrated and angry at them and that maybe I shouldn't be because they didn't do it out of malicious intent. But in the end it doesn't matter, what matters is the present factual state.
>>84610439Happens irl too, I think people just don't want me to feel bad.I ended up stopping doing such because I realised that I don't like being coddled with white lies.
>tell a girl im vcing with that im sub5>she asks for a pic>send it>"you werent lying about being sub5"
>>84610439People love being contrarian to negativity and pessimism even if it's irrational, non-factual or a straight up delusional take. They will lie to your face just to get you to go along with their worldview and fake positivity. People find hopelessness and no solution to a problem very uncomfortable to live with and to address. Look at the stories of people that got acid burned or blown up in war they always feel compelled to spin the story as some triumph of perseverance and courage instead of just being a honest victim of bad circumstances like "ya my life significantly sucks worse now than it did before it takes everything I have not to kill myself and get through the days". Normalfags don't want to hear the uncomfortable grim truth they want everyone to think it's somehow good no matter how retarded that is.
