What gave me this realization was an experience I had the other day. I saw a small gift shop that sold anime stuff like toys, stationary, etc. and I went in since I was interested. Usually these kinds of stores have a certain customer base, so I was expecting to be surrounded by LTN ricecels and white nerds. Apparently, this wasn’t the case here. While there was a small anime section like I had seen, the vast majority of the store was actually devoted to K-Pop. As a result, literally every person in the store except me was female, specifically high school and college girls. Like there was not a single guy in the shop besides me, not even the cashier. And to make matters worse the store was rather cramped so there was little to no room for personal space. My cortisol started spiking and I unironically nearly started shaking in fear and anxiety, like a rabbit trapped in a den of wolves. I had to take out my phone and pretend to be taking a call, and also started chewing on my nail, to be able to calm down. I wanted to leave but another huge group of girls came in behind me and I was trapped. I started aimlessly shuffling in circles while continuing my fake phone call, and started feeling paranoid that my behavior was making the cashier think I may be a shoplifter, even though I wasn’t, which made me even more anxious. Eventually two fat white guys in hoodies that kind of looked like redditors came into the store and I saw my chance; I made my way over and followed behind them silently. When they got close to the door, I slipped out and made my escape. I couldn’t even buy the Bleach figure that I wanted (it was one of Uryu) and I ended up ordering him for a higher price on Amazon instead.
Anyways the point is that being in a supermajority-female environment for even just 10 minutes was extremely trying and difficult for me. I used to think those guys in school that mostly had platonic girl friends and sat with the girls in class/lunch were wimps but after this experience I now understand that they were actually very mentally strong. Being in the “friend zone” may not be a bad thing but a necessary step to eventually ascend as it helps you gain the mental fortitude to not be afraid of talking to or being around girls.
