I have a lot of trouble accepting that I’m an incel.

I don’t really think of myself as an incel. I did have a gf, almost 15 years ago, but we broke up. For the last 10 years I’ve been single. I’m a normal looking guy. I don’t have a lot of trouble making friends. I know a lot of people in all sorts of social groups, so it’s not like I’m a complete loser. It’s just that with women I have a lot of trouble.<br><br>Nothing ever seems to go right. There was one time when I almost felt like things were moving in the right direction, but as soon as I mentioned the word “dating” the girl seemed to get pissed off. Another girl recently got really mad with me when I brought up the topic of dating other people. I don’t get it. I feel like I’ve been standing still for years in terms of getting a second girlfriend. There’s one girl I kind of know who I think about a lot, but we never speak.<br><br>I feel like if I’m an incel my social life should be almost non-existent. I should have only one friend and I should have extreme social anxiety, but none of that applies to me. I find it hard to say whether or not I’m an incel.<br><br>One thing I want to say is that when I was about 24 I did suffer from social anxiety, but it just disappeared one day, and I’ve never been more socially confident. I’m just not good with women.
