when i was a teenager i made no attempt to and actively avoided making any online friends because i had an extreme fear of being groomed. i was mostly socially inept irl so i had no friends outside of a few oddballs at my highschool. did i make the responsible choice or did i just nuke any chance i had at making any meaningful connections
>>84668090both. What did you do in this time instead? I mean it's not like you can't get groomed in your twenties if you've really been socially isolated this whole time.
>>84668090you say u had no friends but then you also say "outside of a few oddballs" indicating that you had friends so im quite confused
>>84668090>extreme fear of being groomedMe thinks buying into leftist bullshit is the reason you're an outcast now
>>84668097largely nothing. started working right after highschool and went to college after that. i am extremely suspicious of people so i dont know if i could even make friends if i tried. from outside looking in it looks like having online buddies can be comfy and i just missed out.>>84668100i meant that i had no one outside of like 3 or 4 autistic dudes that i hardly interacted with outside of school, all of whom i completely lost contact with in the years since highschool>84668120kill your self
>>84668175u had a friend group u okay u had more than wat other people have its olny normal to be friendless as an adult in this age
>>84668090I got my first group of online frens last year anon, it's never too late :D
>>84668090probably did the right thingI dated a girl off here who seemed great but never told me she had been groomed online since she was a young teenager. In retrospect it shouldve been obvious considering her weird fixation with older mentl;dr, you avoided fucking yourself over and will probably make a good gf/wife for someone
>>84668392I think the reason why your relationships don't last is because you expect people to divulge their darkest secrets to you immediately. Then when finally do get comfortable enough to share their trauma with you in confidence, you shame and humiliate them. You're very immature.
Eh, I was all over Yahoo Messenger in the 2000s. Had some intense cybering sessions. It always pissed me off that any socialising with foids could never become IRL meets, because they were thousands of miles away. So I eventually gave up, even before YIM died. Also did a little bit with Skype back when they had Skypecasts. Now messenger apps are basically only set up for people that are known IRL, or via phone numbers, so obviously I get nothing now. With fuck apps and social media turning foids Chad-only, I now have zero chance of online-socialising my way into some cunt. It's a fucking shame, because I used to talk a good game, while having zero IRL experience (other than escortceling). I knew even back then that getting into foids heads gets them soaked. Now none of them would piss on me if I were on fire.
>>84668090you're supposed to join an online game group (or "guild" as it's known to millenials) for a few years that ends up splintering and then remain friends with 2-3 of them and ideally repeat the process at least one more time to end up with a small amount of people you instant message at 3am
>>84668454what are you talking about lol, did you forget to take your meds?I simply stated that i never knew about her past, all throughout our relationship. for context i found out about a year after we broke upstop making up bullshit
>>84668454also when did i shame and humiliate anyone? its an anonymous forum and i wouldn't have shamed her for it. maybe try not being a butthurt foid projecting your own insecurities onto others
>>84669190On top of that you seem to have a pretty fragile ego and short temper. I imagine that is the reason she left you.
>>84669194ah ok, so this is ragebait. good one.
>>84668090Grooming is such a non-issue, in fact most brats could use a father figure telling them what to do even if it's online.
Remember inceldom is a state of mind. It has nothing to do with whether you have sex or not.
>>84668090>an extreme fear of being groomedhow the fuck do you manage to be aware of the concept of grooming to the point of knowing the term yet have so little confidence in yourself and your own intelligence you're terrified it will magically happen anywaylike, it doesn't fucking sneak up on youif you're aware of the concept that is already enough to protect against it unless you're literally retarded
>>84669201Of course it's an issue retard. Most guys don't have good intentions and just want to use a girl, not help her build her life
how do people even get groomed lol I'm baffledjust say no if they ask for sex
