>>87109679
I mean I guess if you twist it that way that's what low self esteem is. Not so much vanity but the antithesis of it.

>>87109679
that's plausible but its ruling out the fact that some people don't want to bother others.

It's silly, because once you get past the big words, it's just another version of "lol what's the worst that could happen? they'll just ______". The author's implication (and the implication of the tired phrase) is that self-image is the only thing holding them back.

If you put your mind to it, you could *easily* imagine the terrible things that could happen from talking to a stranger. I mean, it's the current year -- not only do you have SJWs who think any man approaching them is sexually harassing them, but we simply live in a bizarre, cuckoo world where any extreme reaction is acceptable to even the smallest of things.

Fuck that.

Maybe they worded it poorly but I think their idea is their ego makes them self conscious because they're worried others will think less of them if they make a fauxpas and looking that way is beneath them. Or maybe it's like the idea where self loathing can become a kind of narcissism but instead of being how great you are it's about how awful you are. Instead of thinking everyone should love you, everyone should hate you. It's self-centeredness but to a different extreme

>Shyness (also called diffidence) is the feeling of apprehension, lack of comfort, or awkwardness especially when a person is around other people. This commonly occurs in new situations or with unfamiliar people. Shyness can be a characteristic of people who have low self-esteem. Stronger forms of shyness are usually referred to as social anxiety or social phobia. The primary defining characteristic of shyness is a largely ego-driven fear of what other people will think of a person's behavior. This results in a person becoming scared of doing or saying what they want to out of fear of negative reactions, being laughed at or humiliated, criticism, and/or rejection. A shy person may simply opt to avoid social situations instead.

What is the point of making a comic where your strawman informs another person about the established and accepted definition of a word, as if it was some amazing epiphany he just had?
Nobody in the world outside of fetishists wants to be ridiculed or rejected, that's basic human nature. So what kind of shitty dickhead sociopath would try to reason that being afraid of these things makes you egotistic and vain?

>>87111218
How is he a cuck? I get that he's a stuck-up asshole, but a cuck? He's the one telling the guy to actually grow a spine and approach a girl. That seems like pretty non-cuck advice.

>>87109679

He's not. Did you even read that shit? He's using the other person's shyness to berate them and accuse them of being a bad person, and in doing to tries to claim superiority over them.

>>87112223
Okay. But how does that make him a cuck?

>>87112189
>>87112033
He didn't "redefine" anything. Shyness is specifically described in the dictionary as a fear of rejection because of the damage the ensuring humiliation can and will do to the ego.

>>87112238
Everyone on 4chan is a cuck. It just rolls off the tongue. Remember that girl that smiled at you 7 years ago? Well she has a husband now. You've been cucked bro

>>87112238
I think
>>87111218
simply reasoned that he must be, since all leftists are cucks per definition, and only a self-righteous leftist would attack the insecure with pseudo-intellectual bullshit to feel better about themselves.

>>87112167
>he's the one telling him to grow a spine
He's not though, he's just berating the guy for being shy which doesn't help at all.

>>87112252
Find me a dictionary that explicitly says that. I guess if you really want to be pedantic, "frame" would be a better word than "redefine".

That sentence is completely meaningless. It's not redefining anything. Shyness is and always has been the fear of ego damage. You can rephrase it any way you like but you're not going to redefine anything when the end argument is the same.

If the original comic had this sort of back and forth discussion, it might have actually been worth reading.

>>87112434
Where is the joke Buckley?

>>87109679

Had trouble expressing myself as a kid because of a speech impediment. Talking with people made me get anxious to the point I could feel it; I'd feel nauseous and sometimes lightheaded. Over time, I learned that shyness was a good way to just avoid it. If I keep to myself I don't have to talk and nobody makes fun of me. I eventually learned how to speak properly, but the shyness has been lingering for a long, long time. I still lapse into a sort of apathy if I don't pay attention.

But no, bruh, ego.

>>87112593
what

>>87112523
I don't really think so because Vanity is an excess of pride. You're not being vain by being timid or anxious around people.

The shy kid being shaped like a tampon while his friend who's being a bitch has near-human proportions doesn't factor in here?
He's clearly deformed even by whatever standards are seen as "normal" in that universe, so he clearly has really good reason to be shy.

>>87112670
This feels more poignant, congrats anon.

>>87112604
vanity is not an excess of pride
hubris is an excess of pride

vanity puts more focus on superficial appearances.

the stutter got crippling anxiety because he has this picture of himself that doesn't stutter and a picture of him when he does stutter. Most likely due to conditioning from how his parents treated his "disabililty" and others did he learned that stuttering is something people aren't supposed to do.
If nobody cared if he stuttered then his anxiety/ panic attacks would have definitely been lower to non existent.

or

the stuttering was a symptom of an anxiety disorder. which when you are anxious you do tend to stutter. The cause of the anxiety could be biological but gets environmentally triggered.


being shy was just a coping mechanism that he used to deal with anxiety.

which makes sense becuase "auto-pilot" mode for the anxious person is in a constant "flight or freeze" state.
