Eventually you graduate to making the conscious decision to not instead of just being to lazy. Last time I had a job that paid a living wage was 2018. I'll never look at society and the world as a whole the same way again. If I was considered romantically undesirable back then, I would be entirely in the wrong for thinking there's a chance now. It was time to get over it a long time ago. I'm over it. Now I read books and study science so I have a better chance of surviving the impending collapse of western society.
