But those are the visible scars, the scars on the mind.

@Happy Humble Hermit I see, if anyone knows when to get the fuck out of that it's you...

Just gotta learn to pick better bro! /s

Ironbard, I don't mean to intrude, but I've been thinking of setting up a MGTOW channel for a long time now, and I've been considering it again over the last few days.
Could I read your story the way people read creepypasta's? Or possibly talk to you on a livestream with you about it?

I'd also be interested in hearing any other stories you have.

If not then it's absolutely fine.

MGTOW horror stories?

now thats a good idea

I was thinking of calling it that.

Sure, though I'd prefer to keep it to text. I'm not comfortable with having my voice on the net as I live in a tiny community.

@Misanthropic Imperial I think you’d have a lot of contributors if you did that.

damn, that moniker is perfect

That's alright.

Yeah.

I remember a series Computing Forever did back in 2016 about men who were attending colleges and universities, they talked about their experiences with misandric feminists and shit.

I intended to continue that series after he abruptly stopped making them several years ago.

when i listen to other youtubers read creepy/scary stories, they put in too much effort into the voice and end up being cringy

I just never did it.

I'm listening to sandman rn and I think I want to copy his format for some videos

The robotic tone?

This cool delivery guy gave me a shit load of mints and I **almost** gave him my mgtow card as a thank you

@Misanthropic Imperial no where he reads people's stories and responds

got an example vid? I love Sandman's vids, but the monotonous tonality destroys my mind xD

Haha, he would copy the robotic tone

@Ironbard I just read your story about the goth chick. That hit really close to home.

Made the mistake of having a casual relationship with a goth chick who had a heroine problem when I was younger. Learned about the drugs and dropped her instantly. She broke into my apartment several times over a couple months, stealing random shit; never caught her in the act, police kept shrugging, had 2 roommates at the time and we were all turning into ultra-light sleepers. I woke up one night to her getting into bed with me.

Last I heard, she was committed to an institution (not the only girl I’ve fucked that’s true for...), but I still obsessively check my locks, keep the blinds and curtains closed after dark, always have a bit of light on in each room.

: / yeah, that doesn't seem to go away.

The fear and emotionality of it all is gone, but yeah, those habits are etched in stone.

Not even something I consciously do, at this point (though she wasn’t exactly the only chick to reinforce them).

Jesus...

Thank ***fuck*** I've never had a girlfriend.

God damn.

Aye, I guess it makes it worse, that this happened during my development as a teenager.

@Misanthropic Imperial It doesn’t always take them being your girlfriend. Stay vigilant.

Good point.

I know two chicks at my college, I wouldn't be surprised if they turned out to be crazy.

One of them is pregnant.

It's like, the society I live in is extremely safe. But I learned that there are monsters when I was just getting rid of my fear of the dark.

Her and the partner aren't even 23 iirc.

@Ironbard It does, because you’ve likely picked up behaviors that you’re not going to realize you’re committed to. Might not feel terror in a dark room, but you’ll always flip a light on before you step into the room. Things like that.

hmmmm

you're probably right
