      One way you can determine whether you’re physically attractive or not is to talk to random old ladies in public (I used to work customer service so it happened almost daily for me). Elderly women have no more fucks to give, so if they’re saying things like “I would date you if I was younger”, believe them. If they never bring up your appearance… well, you have your answer.

      I got that once too and I remember it so vividly. I was in the 5th grade. I was already shy and that really pushed me over the top. I was so devastated. I wish I had had a crush on a more empathetic girl lol.

        Sometimes you don’t even have to ask, a small group of girls in primary school would often say “eww, Jimbo” when they saw me. I literally didn’t do anything.

        Jokes on them, I got much more handsome as I grew up and was apparently desired by the girls and didn’t notice because I was so not interested.

        Yes. They can simply ignore you, as if you’re not even there, even if you insist. Then, after several contact attempts, with different people, you realize you’re dead and condemned to roam around that same house for eternity, without being able to ever interact with anyone or anything.

          They could react in horror, as if the sounds made by your voice box are the signs that doom has come upon the world, that they had not known true horror until hearing your voice. They could scream in terror, their screams so shrill, so loud that it caused their throats to open and bleed, so that they sprayed droplets of blood in their screams. These screams would cause everyone nearby to look, and to realize what was happening, causing them to also scream in horror and terror, causing a domino effect where each new screamer caused the people near them to turn and scream, until the whole world was screaming in horror and terror.

          And when the screaming was done, they could also say “no”.

          only the people sensing the supernatural could contact you, but they’re busy working their day job instead of roaming around and experiencing stuff

          “Even if you insist”

          What in the incel shit is that? You don’t insist on what another person should feel about you.

            What? Someone acts as if you’re not present in the room. You try to attract their attention and nothing, so you try again a few times. This is insisting.
