Teenager behavior. I get it. Some kids (and people) need validation and obsess about it, while the winners (and old people like me) care less and go with the flow.
Some folks, e.g., spoiled, expect their desired group to be attracted to and/or be friendly to them. (Brag alert: Myself and my SO - not models but not fugly.)
Others expect others, e.g., incels, expect others to treat them badly, and have a proverbial chip on their shoulders. This can be a combination of social and physical looks. People who have physical disfigurements or unusual appearances have it rough in the world, that it can either make them stronger from repeated exposure or tear them down to retreat into and hate themselves and maybe others.

- ifyoubuildit 4y agoI don't understand why that would be specifically teenager behavior. Would it be teenager behavior to apply for jobs where you have relevant skills? It seems like the same thing to me. We all have something to offer in the right environment, and are relatively useless in the wrong environment. Is there something juvenile about recognizing that and aiming for the right environment?
