Elliot Rodger...

[Mister Obvious]

What a pity, if you could say all of these to him in one of the various places on the Internet he was active in them, I think it would have definitely helped him a lot.

I would like to think that perhaps it might have helped him...

However, the wall of bitterness is a tough wall to get over.

There's a scathing rejection that goes hand in hand with bitterness...

When someone has a lack of experience regarding something that they WANT so badly, and someone else tries to advise them over that situation (from a place of experience)... sometimes that advice can be met with an onslaught of bitter rejection.

It's a vicious cycle... that's life for ya. I've written about how ridiculous it is at length.

I'm also wondering why didn't you become a therapist! You could even end up being such a famous psychologist like Dr. Phil! ;)

Thanks, I appreciate that! I'm an online counselor. I help people on the internet. That's one of the big reasons I love the internet... you don't need a degree, you just make it happen yourself by being an entrepreneur. People can decide if they trust you enough or take you seriously enough to listen to your advice or not. It gives more variety than traditional psychological counseling does. It's the 21st century version of psychology, counseling, etc.

But how come people can't differentiate between shyness and being an asshole? Shy people usually give some clues that they are shy...

It's expecting a lot from people to be able to deal with their own lives... let alone to have to tip toe through somebody else's mine field. People have enough shit to deal with on their own, and this is where clear and honest communication, paired with radical self-acceptance and self-love come into play. This is a trauma based society where people keep everything to themselves where it only gets worse until it boils over. We need to be doing exactly the opposite as a society... we need to be talking about it and letting it out. Other people can't help you or even begin to understand you until you're doing your best in every single way to express yourself and make your story known.
