someone on tiktok mentioned they’re 24 and they’ve yet to be intimate with anyone romantically and someone commented and said that’s an awful situation to be in… like they were deadass serious lol y’all have got to stop shaming people for not having had the same experiences as you at a certain age. and that goes for everything in life. we all have different timelines. be respectful and understanding of that. and speak to people with love. help them if they don’t understand something that may come simple to you. answer their questions without making them feel less than. kindness goes such a long way.

the expectation of needing intimacy by the time of adulthood and subsequent shaming for not having it is what leads to incels existing
