Ironically this makes life seem empty and meaningless
FFS does your life revolve around other people? Quit being a faggot and go learn to do shit for yourself to yourself. Why does everyone, both men and women, have this gay retarded need to be someone else's emotional crutch?
The human desire for intimacy, companionship, and at least occasional sexual fulfillment is the biggest thing that doesn't really have an easy fix for the average person.
Switch these words for "self-satisfaction" and you'll be correct. These feelings are driven by pure need of feeling satisfied. Most people have relationships becuase they want to feel the satisfaction to either prove to your social peers that you're not a lonely person or to not feel lonely and left out because everybody else is dating. That's it.
You want someone to play a role and you expect them to play that role accordingly and people have the pretentiousness to call that "love". In general, people feel attracted to what you have and not who you are because they don't give a fuck about who are. It's all about what do you have to offer. Those who claim otherwise are either stupid or liars.
"
Oh, but I am so funny, smart and outgoing when I'm with others and they like being around me." Yeah, congrats, you've became a display window. But there are other windows that show more interesting products.
"
B-but I don't need to be a people pleaser. I have my own friends." You've found your target audience, good for you. Be careful to not let that social mask shatter because you're going to need it.
Them human relationships are nothing but a theater play: you just have to memorize the script, put up a nice costume, act well and you'll hear applauses. Do it wrong and the public will boo you and that includes friends, girlfriend and even relatives.
Some insist that's part of life but that is just them being caught up in their own masquerade and becoming deluded into thinking everybody should and have to live like this.
There are a good number of guys who do find suitable partners out there, the difference is that most of them aren't spergs who sit on odd corners of the internet wondering why they get no women interested in them.
Because, unlike incels, they're doing exactly what I wrote above. The frustation of some incels might be over the fact that they wish they could have a better social mask to wear becuase theirs is broken or they don't have one.
