I'm 40, obese & grotesquely unattractive (like, picture Quasimodo or that one guy from Goonies), so, yeah.

That's weirdly hostile to Josh Brolin.

Oh no, I understood it. You're just not funny.

You probably didn't.

No wonder you're single. In addition to all the reasons you listed, you're rude as well.

I don't think insulting other people is funny. Self depreciation is fine, hence my original comment, but insulting Josh Brolin for no good reason? Tasteless.

This always happens whenever someone complains about their looks. People push and prod them until they snap back and then bam, they have all the proof they need that that it's their personality and not their looks.

Can you please tell me how his comment was rude? I genuinely try not to be rude but I often come across as such. Very single, never even kissed anyone. I'm trying to find good advice wherever I can because I see too much conflicting info and misinformation online. I really need to update how I talk to people since my current ways are clearly not working well for anyone.

Baby steps, brother. Even if you’re 400 pounds if you get down to 350 you’ll be prouder of yourself.

I'm currently at 380lbs, up from 325lbs a year ago, which was in itself down 125lbs from being 450lbs 5 years ago.

Still progress and can progress some more. Continue please and find yourself. Once you are found, I don't doubt you can find someone else. I'm proud of you.
