>>12238860>>12238854The loneliness I feel is enough to make me too desperate to escape from said loneliness. Ergo it is extremely obvious and off-putting. I can't will away my natural drive for social acceptance, and the social pain I experience as a lack of it. And desperate, lonely guys are so darn common that it's an archetype in and of itself. It's why onlyfans and simping are things.
I suspect that there are plenty of people in my position who aren't receiving adequate care and are just being stuffed with SSRIs or told to "go make friends". Social dysfunction and loneliness isn't something that can be treated holistically because it depends on other people. You can't say "just connect bro" when there are many factors that might impede a person from doing so. Like autism, disabilities, being ugly, etc. Things beyond the control of an individual, and things you can't force others to accept.
Loneliness is a growing problem in advanced countries and it requires specialized treatment.
