You're not depressed. You're just a loser.

"Depression" is often taken to be a mental illness. This might be the case if, objectively speaking, you have a great life and yet are still markedly and abnormally unhappy.
If you're a ridiculed, ostrasized and physically hideous loser, then depression is a natural response. It's not an "illness" in any sense. Even non-human animals (e.g., lobsters) who are at the bottom of the dominance hierarchy of their respective species exhibit lower serotonin levels than their dominant counterparts.
Confidence and happiness are not at all natural if you have no reason to be happy. They are emotional and behavioural responses to external validation. If you're ridiculously confident and optimistic when your life is objectively irredeemable trash, then, if anything, you're the one with a diseased mind, because your thoughts and beliefs do not reflect actual reality.

Exactly. Im normal and still incel so i have a reason to conplain. 90% of this sub has something wrong with them so it only makes for them to be incel.

This is very true. I believe it's caller cognitive dissonance. If your mind doesn't reflect what reality is and how you "should" feel, you're sick in the head

I must be really messed up to be an incel loser but to have a narcissistic god complex.

Same tbh I have no trouble attracting women but can’t keep them due to being a sadboy. It’s tough out here for us sadcels.

No one can be an incel long without developing some form of mental illness.
1 itsbeenover 2018-05-07
it develops after the fact

I’m calling bullshit. I’d reckon a large portion of incels are actually virgins BECAUSE they are mentally ill. Not the other way around.

Poor social development due to lack of friends and community mixed with being physically unattractive throughout childhood leads to complete apathy and mental 'illness' as a defense mechanism or coping or whatever. Its a natural reaction to the circumstances.
But this only occurs to low aggreableness personality trait people. I notice a lot of incels me included but I'm more of volcel don't really compromise. Unless someone can present an idea that makes sense from Multiple perspectives and has no counter arguments we won't accept it.
I got banned from the old incels because I argued with them wanting a woman when you clearly can't get one is weakness and to move on. They didn't like that

It's an illness in the sense that it interferes with your life (such as it is) and makes you feel like total shit. It may be a normal and warranted reaction, but that doesn't make it a good or healthy one.
Or it's a brilliant strategy. Make others think you're awesome, and they'll give you validation. The act may be fake at first, but the positive reactions from others are real, as is resulting increased confidence and optimism. This is what normies are talking about when they say to “fake it until you make it.”
The problem is not that it's impossible or doesn't work. The problem is it's hard as absolute fuck to pull off.

This is true. Bodies who push the confidence don't realize that there is absolutely no reason we should be confident and have self respect.
