"But wait, the Love-shy books/community is helping me with my issues!"
There's nothing wrong with support groups. They're not going to magically fix all of your problems but can also be a useful tool in recovery. The thing is that real support groups have somebody who knows what the fuck they're doing moderating so the thing doesn't turn into a huge circle jerk.
The Love-shy moderators are pretty fucked-up people themselves, and it doesn't seem like they give a shit about anybody getting better or overcoming their shyness or their tendencies to stalk women, hate women, beat off to little girls, or mastermind plots to shoot dozens of people. In a free and open forum people should be able to talk about these upsetting things as long as there's somebody in charge who has their shit together enough to know not to go SHIT YEAH BRO ALL WOMEN ARE CUNT BITCH WHORES ESPECIALLY THE TEENAGE GIRLS OH MAN LOOK AT THAT KESHA BITCH CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SLUT CHECK OUT MY GUN COLLECTION.
Personally, I've never seen anything quite so fucked up as the Love-shy forums. And this is from a guy who's been following Chris-chan for a year.
Pretend you're high on crack. One day you have a moment where you decide that your life isn't really going the way you want to go, and you think it's because of the crack. I mean, it's the most obvious thing. It's why you're living out of the men's shelter after you got evicted and you're panhandling money all day and probably why you traded away your shoes.
Now, if you want to quit smoking crack maybe you should get some help. But from who? You could check into rehab, or find a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, or just really, really commit yourself to staying sober. You might fail at it and go back on the crack, but at least you've tried.
Instead of any of that, you decide that nobody knows more about crack than people who are using it right now. You tell your crack dealer and some other crackheads that you want to quit smoking crack because it's negatively impacting your life. Your crack dealer says that you don't need to stop smoking crack to be happy. He knows a lot of people who have resigned themselves to the fact that they'll be crackheads for life and they're happy, sort of. All the crackheads you talk to say that you deserve a rich and fulfilling life despite being a crackhead. I mean, you're a disadvantaged, oppressed minority on account of your debilitating crack addiction. So instead of doing anything constructive you just smoke a bunch of crack as always, spend all your money on crack, and hang out in a crackhouse with crackheads.
To summarize: by identifying as a "Love-shy" and hanging out with other people that call themselves "Love-shies" you are being a fuckhead and are making terrible life choices.
If you're in your teens or 20s, you could solve all your problems by 1.) not hanging around with these losers and 2.) talking to real people around you you can actually socialize with and 3.) stop being lazy and not giving a shit about your life 4.) instead of sitting around and bitching about how you can't talk to girls, talk to girls.
