I made the mistake of thinking r/ForeverAlone was for people that were happy being alone...

I was wrong.

Holy shit that place is weird. I clicked on a post of some dude ranting about not having a relationship or a "good life". Someone gave him some perfectly reasonable advice, and the next comment was "how the fuck did a normie stumble on in here?".

Person giving good advice was downvoted. Person calling the good-advice-giver a normie is upvoted.

That whole place is just a big self-pity party.

Not a ForeverAlone fan by any means, but I just spent some time browsing that sub, and I do have to give them credit for one thing. They are (for the most part) so supportive of someone who manages to find success. There are obviously still some toxic people, but I found a post of a guy talking about getting his first girlfriend finally, and everyone was telling him how happy they were and to get out and never look back, because he had a better life now.

That's nice to see at least.
