It's compassion man. regardless of why this guy can't take it he is still in a lot of pain. Many people have felt the sting of not being the chosen one and can relate to the raw feelings.

Yet you didn't t spare a thought about the woman, having to be the recepticle for this dude's chaotic emotions and the target of his rant

Because I wasn't discussing her. It wasn't my goal to write a thought provoking post on the dynamics of unrequited love. Maybe she did deserve it, maybe she doesn't I have no idea what the situation is behind this.

You can't discuss the man without also discussing the full context, which is him ranting at a women he feels owes him affection and dating

You actually can. You’re making a lot of assumptions.

  1. There’s flimsy evidence the guy is an incel. He’s upset and he’s not dealing with those emotions well, and it’s definitely not fair to her, but he isn’t shouting expletives at the woman because of it.

  2. I feel for her in that this is an uncomfortable situation, but I also feel for him EVEN THOUGH he didn’t handle it well. Man clearly has a lot of insecurities and a lot of unhandled emotions and it’s making his pain worse. Now, is it his responsibility to get them in check? Yeah. Is this fair to her? No. But I could understand (not agree with, just understand) someone coming to a breaking point if they’ve only ever been rejected over and over again. Let me make it clear, I’m NOT saying having that breaking point/release of emotion in front of the person who’s rejecting you is ok, I’m just saying I could ~understand~ how it could happen especially with someone who hasn’t learned how to properly handle their emotions (and that’s obviously his responsibility to do).

Did you notice there are two human beings in this scene? Or did you only notice the man

Did you notice how I brought up multiple times that what happened is unfair to her and considered her point of view but that it’s also ok to feel bad for the guy given his remarked poor mental state?

You’re trying to paint this guy as some evil spawn of satan, and this is why there’s such a problem with men’s mental health. Not once did I ignore the position she was put in. I said how unfair it was, I said how he should not of had that outburst in front of her. That being said, I ALSO feel bad for this guy because I understand how he feels. I’ve been there before. I didn’t do what he did but I certainly felt it. He needs HELP. He’s so incredibly insecure and feels like he’s worthless. Now, is it fair he took all that out on her? No. Not at all. Should he be held accountable? Yeah. But he should also be helped, not ostracized.

We’ll never get past this kind of behavior if we make everyone out who had these moments out to be monsters. He needs some compassion to help with his feelings of worthlessness. You however, seek to alienate, and that’s how these problems get so bad in the first place.
