Why do people simp?

[Venom]

People should not idolize someone they don't know personally.

What if they do know the other person personally?

Actually i would say you have to take a chance because how else are you meant to "know" someone.

You can take a chance on a stranger without jumping straight into simping for them.

I'd even take the position and strongly advise that you shouldn't simp for strangers -
even if you want nothing in return - because being kind and generous (within reason of what people were willing to accept) while expecting nothing in return is something I used to do and I was harmed for it.

Other people see someone who is like that as desperate or weak, and can't fathom that someone possibly genuinely just likes being helpful and kind without some ulterior motive.

Toward that end... don't even simp for people that you actually know unless they show themselves to be an appreciative virtuous person who cherishes you and cares about your well-being. Maybe not to the point that they'll protect you but they should at least care what happens to you so that you know that they won't just use you as a fall guy, scapegoat, or otherwise harm or discard you when they get bored of you or it's convenient for them.

It's easy to simp for a scummy girl that sees you as a "resource" rather than an "asset" - there's a very important difference between these two de facto classifications.
(I say "de facto" because it doesn't have to be the word that she uses, but rather I'm referring to the simps' idols / masters behaving in a way that aligns with the definitions of these words.)

A resource is meant to be used up and then thrown away,
but an asset is someone or something valuable that should be cherished and protected.

Never simp for someone who you sees you as a resource rather than an asset.

You need to be confident that they see you as an asset before you do this, and you need to come to this conclusion from how they treat you and others around them, rather than because they simply told you that they think of you as an asset or friend or something
(it's too easy for people to just lie).

Anyone who simps for someone who they have not first determined has upstanding virtues,
is likely innocent to the point of being recklessly naive and putting themselves in harms way.
It's a stupid thing to do.
...not because they're simping... but because they have no standards or sense of self-preservation before choosing to simp.

An anonymous simp donated $500,000 for a chance to speak with Pokimane over a Zoom call.

i have observed this behaviour not in guys that are like shy or unattractive or something like these classics

it was mostly short guys who were kinda "internet troll"-like character wise so:

i believe they have "checked out" long ago and know or thinkg that the only interaction they can ever have is some pathetic, creepy go-about

they do that S through out Life. Stay away from simps; talking roomate or idk...

Low self esteem. People that respects themselves wouldn't lower themselves to the point of simping.

There was already scientific research done about this long ago.
