When did you guys realize you were incel?

[anti-lookism]

When puberty began

[Ryo Hazuki]

For me it was when I was 19.  When I turned 19 and realized I still had never kissed a girl, I realized that something was wrong and that I wasn't just a "late bloomer".  I had been rejected maybe like 10 times by the day I turned 19 and called ugly by several girls by that point so I was pretty sure it had a lot to do with my looks at that point.  After I turned 19 I started doing online dating and cold approaching women a lot.  This was 2006 so I wasn't familiar with the term "incel" but that was the year it fully hit me that women were disgusted by me and that I was in the bottom 10 percent of looks and LMS in general.  

And now I'm 30 and still KHV.

When I was in high school and every girl either avoided/ignored me or treated me like an infant.

That's really interesting actually, if I'm being honest I'm still pretty new to the community like I literally just learned about what an incel was around a month ago but thankfully I did or I wouldn't have found this awesome forum to actually have people who don't think I'm insane.

I just sort of came to a realization. I've only been rejected twice, but girls literally treat me like I'm not even there. I never got bullied or anything, or even called ugly. Just treated like a fucking background prop

At 18

I knew it was over at 13 tbh. When you're isolated at a young age and know people including middle school teachers don't respect you it's easy to know it's over

[incel]

when i finished high school without ever touching/kissing a girl or even going on a date with one

then doing the same shit first year of college

then doing the same thing second year...

4 years ago while being 15 or so

[Morf12]

When my step mother told me why I don't talk to girls and that I should try hitting on ugly/fat girls. She said this completely uninvitedly/engaged the conversation first. This was while I was a freshman in highschool.

[incelman]

It doesn't even matter. You are just as sad wether you know it or not.

[weservenomsg]

the first day of 5th grade when my best friend was fluently conversing with a hott girl while i was getting bullied by 2 guys in history class

[HS80]

In Puberty when girls started to make fun of me in school.

[incel4life]

I always had hope until 19. "Oh my god im going to turn 20 without ever having experienced teen love"

[BlackPill47]

Making it two years of college without getting laid. Never being approached by an FHO.

Realizing that the final growth spurt would never come and I was doomed to manletism.

Losing my hair at 23.

[Sadasshit]

When people started making fun of my jawline, and when females laughed at me whenever I talked to them.
