    Terrible personal hygiene, lacking social skills, zero aspiration or interest in improving themselves.

    IMO

    The first thing that came to mind reading this was someone who doesn’t keep their word

    If they lie, cheat, steal or bully those weaker than them.

    Being terminally online and not being able to form social relationships with people IRL. So they form parasocial relationships

    I’ve never really called someone a loser except as a joke.
    To me, everyone’s either a cunt or a chill guy

    If they manipulate someone for their gain

    If they don’t live by a code

    If they aren’t a better man today than they were yesterday

    If they don’t have realistic goals

    If they don’t care for their fellow human beings

    If they aren’t willing to defend the people they love

    If they don’t take the initiative

    If they manipulate younger women and are pedophiles in denial

    If they are pedophiles

    If they don’t question what they are told

    If they don’t have control over their basic emotions

    If they make their parents and siblings lives harder than should be

    If they are deadbeats

    Cant keep their word. Does zero towards improving themselves whilst complaining the whole time.

    Zero goals plans or ambition.

    A leech on all their friends and family and freinds.

    Zero accountability for their bad decisions and how their shovel/spoon/excavator contributed to the hole they found themselves in.

    Refuses any and all help and just lashes out toward anyone trying.

    Failure to grasp their emotions and understand them whilst working out solutions.

    “Problem” mentality rather then “solution” mentality.

    A absolutely zilch attempt to become even mildly independent or to look inward.

    Unresourceful. Even when surrounded with resources.

    Cant control themselves.

    Shall i go on?

    Nothing, itself just you comparing yourself with an idea.

    People who don’t keep their word is an excellent example someone made, but I’d also say just refusing to step up for yourself in life. I’ve got a buddy who hasn’t done anything with himself since high school. He’s a miserable loser. Works a shit part time job and plays video games all night. Never goes outside unless he has work or wants to go through a drive thru. Still lives at home

    Assuming it’s everyone else’s fault, and you have no power over your current state. In general… If everyone else seems like a problem — you’re probably the problem.

    No job in your 30s. Still living off other people. Texting me in the middle of the day about how high you are, but you are still mysteriously too good for working at the local warehouse or gas station even though you have barely any work history in the last 15 years

    I think the first qualification should be they had something, but lost it. So someone starting off with a good family and education, but ends up with a bad job and bad relationships.

    Someone who blames others for his own shortcomings, who refuses to be corrected when confronted with contrary evidence, who tends towards confirmation bias, who doesn’t carry the weight of his own load.. and most of all… Anyone who enjoys pickling as a hobby.
