"Because you don't like your life!" Well fuck you then.

This happened many years ago (I was about 11), and helps elucidate a repeat problem for many men who find themselves here, whether you're "incel" or not

So we were talking about whether we liked the fact that we were born, or maybe how we'd do some things differently. I forget exactly how it started, whether due to religion, etc.

So I spoke on it, and I said something like, "I don't think I would want to be born again. I don't like my life." The reason I said that was because of a number of factors, many overlapping: my parents' piss-poor skill (or happiness with being a parent, which was Zero), me being the fat kid and hence not having many friends (that could be its own thread), the never-ending fighting and resentment in the house, the filth that never seemed to go away, religious disillusionment, and maybe other reasons.

My mother, ever the Paragon of wisdom (religion) discipline (yelling and being hostile) and in general hating the fact that she was a mom, reacted predictably. She became quite angry and resentful at me saying such a thing. She took this as a critique on her, and got angry at me.

Dad for his part never really talked to me about getting a girlfriend or how to increase the chances, and he was rarely in the house while awake (always working) but he was his own ball of issues.

I still stand by, and agree with, how my 11-year-old self felt at the time. I don't really speak to either parent anymore unless I can't avoid it. That's a luxury my adult self has. I can only fathom though how things would have been different if my parents actually knew how THE FUCK to be parents.

Fuck children.
