As a man, how are you not afraid of being replaced? How can you look at the world that treats you as worthless and confidently say "you won't replace me"?
You can only be you, yet you'll be abandoned at the first chance of failure. And if you're here, you've failed more than just a few times already.
How are you still so hopeful that the people you chase after won't abandon you the moment something 'better' comes along?
How do you keep going carrying the sin of being yourself?

>how are you not afraid of being replaced?
I don't think there is anyone who can replace me. My friends like me for who I am, my family wouldn't want anyone else, and my job hired me for my idiosyncratic skillset.

>How can you look at the world that treats you as worthless?
I don't think the world treats me as worthless. I don't know why you should either.

>you'll be abandoned at the first chance of failure
I have encountered numerous failures in my life and I have never been abandoned.

>how are you still so hopeful that the people you chase after won't abandon you the moment something 'better' comes along?
It's not hope, it's knowledge. I had a depressed friend a few years ago (she's still my friend, just not depressed) who asked the same question actually. The answer is that relationships with other people are not formed around transactions, and that as you spend more time with someone, the shared time itself becomes valuable.

> How do you keep going carrying the sin of being yourself?
I read No More Mr Nice Guy, and When I Say No I Feel Guilty, and the feelings of shame I felt for being myself evaporated.

Because being replaceable means I'll never be broken, never be in danger. I don't matter enough to matter, and whatever replaces me will free a part of my soul.

I don't know if anyone ever implied otherwise. Just have the discipline to not get emotionally invested and think of your relationship as a product with a shelf life.

Because other people can't do what I can, otherwise they would.

The satanic globalism and open borders have made it clear that we already have been replaced by cheaper slaves.
Fuck apps and social media created the boom of male inceldom, which is forever getting worse.
As we are already doomed to NEETdom and inceldom, all I fucking want is a UBI, so I can stay the fuck home and avoid all the vermin out there.

In a capitalist society, everyone can and will be replaced. Everyone is interchangeable and the grind continues ever on.
