Has anyone here tried volunteer work?

At a homeless or animal shelter, or anywhere where you can help another living being by making their life just that little bit better.

If you’re feeling worthless or unappreciated, or unemployable and have a lot of spare time, your time may be better spent getting away from this sub and going to try to make a difference to somebody/something else’s life. You’ll find that doing genuine good things with no thought of reward may give you a sense of self-worth, and motivate you to get out and try some new things at the same time.

Back in high school I volunteered at an abused women's shelter. Nowadays I don't really have the time, so I donate money to charity instead. I didn't notice any difference in my personal or other's perception of my worth - if anything, volunteering to help women only makes them more wary towards you.

Maybe cause you specifically went to women, who were abused (most likely by a man, because woman to woman is also not likely to end up in a shelter) As a man. So these women are more wary towards any man, because they are literally there because of being abused.. They are more wary of anyone. But since they are women, and you are a man, just like the abuser, it makes them extra wary. Cause of being abused.

Which is illogical crap that shouldn't be tolerated. We're not allowed to be misogynists despite a lifetime of abuse from women yet these cunts are allowed to be "wary" and "afraid" when it comes to half the world's population.

yeah ive done it, you dont get paid

mind blown

I don't work for free boyo.

There is a dude on this board who volunteers at an animal shelter, but I don't recall the username.

Work already takes up my time. Besides if I went to go to a place like an animal shelter then people there would just get mad and tell me to "go back to your basement you virgin".

You don't sound like an asshole like a couple of your peers here but I can virtually guarantee no one at an animal rescue will tell you to go back to your basement. Many people involved in animal rescue have too much empathy. It can be a problem. I don't know if you've ever heard of the group "A Loving Goodbye" but they had to put a minimum age for their volunteers. No one can join unless they are 25 or older. Young people were killing themselves out of grief. The group goes to kill shelters and takes animals scheduled for euthanasia out to enjoy a day with treats and toys and love. It is such soul destroying grief doing it over and over again that younger people couldn't handle it. I tried it myself and I couldn't handle it and I'm almost 30. After 8 animals, 3 of which came home with me because I refused to take them back, I had to stop. I'm not even ashamed to admit I was crying hysterically every night.

If you are ugly enough people can not feel empathy for you no matter what. Look at male bully victims and how no one helps them.

There’s a bigger problem at large here with the idea that boys need to “man up” which stops them from seeking help and others reaching out. I agree, it’s an issue.

But your mature adult boss or co-workers aren't going to bully you because they don’t like the way you look. You can’t let fear of the unknown run your life. When you’re in public, do you study everyone’s face? Do you care about what they look like at all? Most people aren’t looking at you, they’re only thinking of themselves.

When you’re in public, do you study everyone’s face?

Subconsciously you do and so do I.

Most people aren’t looking at you, they’re only thinking of themselves.

My experience 100 percent goes against this, At my ugliest people would literally holler at me wherever I went. I have been screamed at in public for merely sitting in a public space while ugly.Whenever I left a space people would start talking about my face pretty much always(a good friend of mine confided this with me). People brought up my face in casual conversation pretty much every time.Woman who had seen me in a long time would start talking to themselves about how much uglier I had gottten.I have had people go "ewwwwww" at me. All of this is well past high school. I see girls calling 40+year old men weird and ugly all the time.Those guys aren't doing anything weird just walking by while ugly.It doesn't stop if you get older it just gets worse.

This world is an endless competition where looks are your number 1 attribute in the west.Money becomes more important after like 30.

I can already tell you are either a girl or in the average range of looks. A truly blessed person.(9/10+) or hideous guy(3/10 or less) cannot afford to think like this.

I got better looking with age, and lo and behold people like me now.

I highly doubt that since I get it all the time. Besides I need to pay bills and rather just ldar.

I've thought about that for sure. I'm not ready yet because I'm preoccupied with work, but when I can make time I'll help out the elderly, at-risk youth and animals. Sounds fun.

Well I think some of the responses You've gotten go a long way towards explaining why some of these people think everyone hates them. Helping at risk youth or volunteering to help animals is not worth their time and they don't work for free. These are some stellar human beings.

Do you volunteer? If no, shut the fuck up cunt.

I see a lot of "I'm not like that in real life" around but then awful responses like these show their true colours. Like, why should I want to spend time with someone who obviously has no compassion for the less fortunate? Not even having to actually volunteer but the sentiment that it's beneath them.

Nice virtue signal you asshole.

"helping others won't make you attractive" - femoid

top kek, working without getting paid, just LDAR or rope tbh

working for free, wageslave at least gives money. what a shit advice

work for no money?(((their))) ultimate plan

Who's plan? The animal shelters? The homeless shelters? These places are usually non profit. Also, pro tip: animals can help you cope with how shitty people generally are.

Most of inceltears are (((them))).

The place I volunteer at is mostly women. The only two guys are like 70 and have white hair. Volunteering doesn't help me get guys, but it's something I do because it's good for the community.

No, having a vagina will help you get guys.

I volunteered giving first aid at events/parties/sport competitions in my local area for several years. Never got me anywhere or anything since I was ugly. Girls were disgusted being helped by a subhuman like me.

Then don't go volunteering in places with girls.

I volunteer in my basement nowadays

How do you volunteer?

Idk. I don't. Volunteering is bs cuz u dont get paid and dont get respect for the work you do.

Kek.

You said you volunteer in your basement so I asked how?

...what kinds of places are that?

Little boys homes.

Help out at an an all boys school or divorced men shelter or something.

Why do you have to be retarded?

“Was” ugly? Glad you got past it!

Still not attractive and missed out on childhood so no point in living anymore even if I wake up as male model tomorrow.

It is genuinely healthy to get into volunteering, especially if you don't have a job or a distraction currently. Just allowing yourself a routine where you are travelling and out of your house for a few hours a day is good for depression in general as it helps to give your brain some dopamine and adrenaline it's lacking. It can lift your mood if you're feeling low and giving you a chance to socialise in a non threatening environment is pretty nice too.

trying new things causes me to have a mental breakdown on the way there and run away LMAO

Nope. I'm introverted, after a days work i'm ready to go home and rest, not volunteer and make myself even more miserable interacting with people who won't like me, and at best will put on a fake smile when interacting with me.

I don't know where this idea that incels need to do volunteer work comes from to get laid btw. What girl is going to see an ugly guy doing volunteer work and is going to be anymore attracted to him than she otherwise would? I've never even heard a story of a couple meeting via volunteer work, let alone an incel ascending via volunteer work. Sounds like a scheme to get undesirable people in society to do work for free lmao.

If you're subhuman give up, things aren't going to get better for us, and don't let normie dipshits trick you into thinking doing volunteer work will help you at all.

The point he was trying to make had nothing to do about getting laid. He even says half way into it that doing thing with no thought of a reward will give you a sense of self worth.

Volunteering isn't going to give me a sense of self worth, it'll feel like a giant waste of time.

Volunteer work can have intrinsic value. It isn't about getting the approval of other people, it's about doing something good for the world because you have the ability to. And if you don't want to work with people, you can always work with animals that won't judge you by any human standards.

Sounds like it's not worth the time or effort.

I love blackpilled commentary like this. No bullshit, just cold hard facts. Makes me laugh and get slightly pissed off all at once.

Why would I waste my time helping a society that puts me down. I'd rather collect welfare and rot.

Working for for no money what am I retarded?

No, you'd be a slave. That's what they really want us incels for.

Just a little anecdote:

I volunteered at a monkey sanctuary in Thailand. Got to wake up every morning and bottle feed 13 baby monkeys and then spend the day grooming and socialising with them. It was 10/10 top notch. It started because I was going there every day and paying 400baht to see them. Eventually I got to know the owner and pretty much just negotiated free entry in exchange for my service. I would’ve gladly paid still! I love monkeys! I’m pretty sure most animal shelters, orphanages, children’s hospitals etc would be more than happy for volunteers to help out in any way you can.** Providing you are of good character and approach the situation properly...**

Me, me, me!

Joined a group of young people who would go around doing "good deeds" - helping lonely seniors with everyday stuff mostly. It did feel nice to be doing nice things for people, but it was also during one of those times when my loneliness and frustration were pretty high and the constant flirting and sexual tension between members of the group. Tension which, obviously, did not involve me in any way. Eventually that caused me to leave because I just couldn't keep doing that to myself.

I do a lot! It makes me feel better helping others, like my life is not a complete waste of LDAR. In fact, it means my life is even more meaningful than those loser IT cucks who just troll people on the internet to get their rocks off and don't make any real positive contributions to this world.

But it doesn't help you get a date.

It’s nice to see some incels actually say something good about something else other then Sex, relationships and memes for once

For those incels who do not do any of this or do not want to do this, then just do any good deed with no motivation whatsoever, any good deed doesn’t have to that big, I started by opening doors for people when they walk in(not only women mind you, everyone in general), it gave me a bit more confidence that I was helping people and I slowly gained confidence to be able to volunteer and I gotta say that I’m in a much better place then when I felt incel

This isn’t guaranteed to get you a girlfriend, but if you read about some of the other incels here, they said it made them feel much better about themselves, I highly suggest that you give it a try because maybe if you want to think for a second that having sex/relationships aren’t everything?

Sex and relationships might be one experience that you are missing out in life and it is fine to feel distraught , but don’t let that stop you from experiencing everything else that life has to offer

Did it get you a girlfriend?

Nope

Done this but it's not really relevant to this sub. Women will hate you regardless of how many hours you put in at the dog shelter.

Because like making living being's lives worse, not better.

That's gross, no one wants to fuck homeless people.

Idk. I don't. Volunteering is bs cuz u dont get paid and dont get respect for the work you do.
