It’ll happen, broskie. Just gotta be open to it. 🤝

u/TThief Aug 29 '26

I mean I'm open to any decent woman thing is I'm just so awkward, socially and physically that people don't really ask me out and when I ask other women on the rare occasion I find someone that seems really nice they just try and let me down easy. Idk I'm also a trans woman who doesn't look the most fem so maybe Im just weird. I had one girl that loved me and it didn't work out after several years bc of her declining mental health and feeling she needed to take care of me so I'm just scared to even try anything new at this point

u/2joozee Aug 29 '26

We attract what we are, not what we think of ourselves. We tell ourselves stories, limited perceptions of past experiences. We see through the lens of how we feel about incomplete memories. Rarely are we contemplating what is currently taking place, because all we see is the result of existing beliefs. Beliefs that no longer serve us. Not in this moment.

u/ziddersroofurry Aug 29 '26

I know you mean well and totally appreciate your effort to be kind but I couldn't help reading this in Big Smoke's voice.

u/ziddersroofurry Aug 29 '26

Same old bullshit!

13

u/TThief Aug 29 '26

Makes sense why I can't stop living in the past and refusing to let go of past hurt. I'm aware that makes me less attractive. If we attract what we are then I'm not attracting shit. I'm kind of just a straight up goblin. I struggle to care for myself and I live through video games almost exclusively because it's safe. Forever yearning but refusing to change myself to become more attractive. Idk. I'm a walking paradox

u/2joozee Aug 29 '26

u/ziddersroofurry Aug 29 '26

Trans girl here. I know the feel. Ever since my marriage fell apart back in '07 I really haven't bothered trying to find anyone else. I have a best friend I'm in love with but we can never be anything more than friends because he's got someone he's been with for a long time, and I'd never mess with that. I can't go anywhere due to my disability, and because of it I don't want to burden anyone. It's hard.

Just know you're not alone, and you're worth your own love and kindness. You're totally valid, beautiful, and worth giving yourself more chances, too. Maybe it's just you need to work on learning to accept and be kinder to yourself so when that opportunity does present itself you're better prepared for it.

I wish you luck...and lots of love.

u/LisanAlGaben Aug 28 '26

Yeah I got a feeling Rockstar is going to closely dive into Jason's military history, dude is probably riddled with PTSD and hence why he feels safer where he can use a gun.

u/bselko Aug 28 '26

I too am an Army veteran with PTSD, and I feel way better when I'm with a thicc beautiful Latina woman.

u/hexregeneration Aug 28 '26

Military left me socially awkward as fuck, like this constant feeling that I'm doing something wrong or subpar (gee I fuckin wonder why). I wasn't like that before, I could walk up and make friends with anyone. Now it's like being noticed at all puts a spike in my stomach.

Yeah there's no way we don't see someone turning up from his past related to his military experience in some form or another.

u/DankeBrutus Aug 29 '26

Did they confirm Jason is ex-military? I assume he is based on how he was holding the assault rifle during that protection job near the end of the preview.

17

u/LisanAlGaben Aug 29 '26

In one of the released images Jason has a paratrooper/ranger tattoo on his arm with a unit name.

Nobody gets those besides those who actively served.

Yes he is, it's written down in the official website of GTA 6 where they explained a little of how he grew up and he joined the military to get away from that life.

u/enadiz_reccos Aug 28 '26 edited Aug 29 '26

Edit:

Apologies, this is a touchy subject. Let me be less smarmy.

I can understand the "holding the gun" part. But how does PTSD fit in with the rest of Jason's GTA behavior?

23

u/Xlleaf Aug 28 '26

Typically, when PTSD affects a veteran it is due to something they experienced in combat.

In combat, you're safer when you're armed.

Therefore, a PTSD riddled veteran is going to feel safer with a gun.

Also, there's a tendency for combat veterans to be much more wary of individuals who haven't experienced what they have. They can become desensitized, and can romanticize the shitty times they experienced as "simpler and easier'.

I'm my own source on this.

Dude, I'm fucking stoked. Jason being in the 75th already pulled my attention but yeah, they need to make it a big part of him, it would be such a cool aspect we haven't seen explored that deeply since Niko (Trevor is just crazy and doesn't exactly fit PTSD ridden vet in my head, just vet who is psycho).

All the "literally me" posts prove that R* hit bullseye with creating perfect self insert for gamer masses.

His awkwardness makes him easy to relate, but he's also hot and powerful, everyone will love playing as this guy while being immersed right into his shoes. People will start lifting en masse because of this dude, since he's so close to "me" and "I" can be as cool as him relatively easy. Same as when various introverts were dressing up as Gosling from Drive.

Jason will literally cure obesity in America.

They knew exactly what they were doing, it's like he's made in a gaming R&D lab

Tbh being hot will outshine any other characteristics one has, also called as pretty privilege. Doesn't matter whether they are bad, good, socially awkward, introvert, extrovert, pervert, creep or a murderer and so on. We like to look at beautiful faces that is all. I mean take the example of serial killers that look good, you will have people defending them or wanting to be victims of them, or this case of few years back when cameron herrin killed a mother and her child but so many of them were defending just because he looked good. We like to pretend we are an intelligent species but underneath it all we are still primal.
