Why does this comic still cause so much butthurt more than a decade later?

The kid is telling him the truth.

Well you can’t just break someone down like that and not tell them what to do next. All that’s been done is the shy guy’s now even more ego-driven in his self-loathing, because now he’s not just shy, he’s a coward.

Because being nervous over rejection is normal human behavior? It reminds me of the don't say hello shit artists do where you bitch at somebody for acting like a normal human because you arent communicating efficiently?

I think the artist identifies with the kid on the right and is also self-loathing

This is the kid who's at the back of the class thinking he's smarter than everyone else.

Being nervous over rejection is normal, completely shutting yourself off because you think people care enough to remember your specific little mistakes because youre a special little snowflake which has the world revolving around it is egotistical. The only way your fuck ups will be remembered is if you strip down naked in the streets and start shouting HEIL HITLER!

comics like ''my self insert charactor literally just says my opinion and btfos a dumbass in my head'' are pretty cringe no matter what it says

fpbp

its just another wordy pseudo-psychologist webcomic.

butthurt

you keep posting a shitty comic

Thank you, Reddit.

End up becoming shy and reclusive due to years of bullying.

"You're shy and reclusive? Wow, you must be a real narcissist asshole with a massive ego. Get off your high horse buddy."

You can't win with normalfaggots.

shutting yourself off because you think people care enough to remember your specific little mistakes

That's indicative of a social anxiety disorder, not necessarily that the person is narcissistic or egotistic. Again I think the author himself probably struggled with this, and out of self-loathing he's trying to rationalize it as him being a bad person somehow

how do people even get bullied you shouldve just punched them in the face in grade school (you are immune to the law until double digit age)

You can get suspended for that
Plus most people probably have a sense of morality

I'd make that face too if someone projected their trauma on to me out of nowhere like that.

b-b-but i wouldve gotten free 3 day vacation from skewlllll!!!

shouldve just punch them man, little kid bullies have 0 morality and only learn from pavlovian conditioning: if make fun of anon -> pain

Or maybe the person is just poorly socialized, and has poor understanding of how much weight the average person puts into these things, and their only understanding is from hyperbolized media tropes and/or overbearing parents.

my entire life would have been drastically different if i wasn't fat and ugly as a kid. i lost the weight as an adult but you are mentally a depressed fat kid your entire life now. it never goes away.

9 times out of 10 you'll just get ganged up on and get the snot beaten out of you.

wtf did you guys grow up in ghetto jumping central? grade schoolers are massive pussies who have never been punched in their life, all it takes is a SINGULAR punch and they will leave you alone forever

person with bad self esteem is afraid of scenarios that will further trash their self esteem

mind blown

ignorant dipshit asshole plebbitor

Black kids aren't human man. They're genuine animals.

NTA but yeah you essentially cannot win a fight in a black school unless you have more friends. If the unfavored person starts winning, the audience just gangs up on them to ensure the result they wanted.

Have you considered your social anxiety is just because you're actually a bad person who deserves to be alone?

Yeah duh, that's generally the source of anxiety.

I genuinely remember the black haired kid's point making more sense. Did I read an edit or something?

You answered your own question. The truth creates the most butthurt.
