A sadboy or a sodftboi (softboy) is a person (usually in their teens 13-19) who cries about their problems instead of fixing them.
You rarely see one, because they lack social interaction and rarely go outside their own homes.
In case you haven't, here's what they look like: They will usually wear informal clothing, like an oversized hoodie, hoodie without hood, hoodie without zipper... Etc. The type of music they listen to is a form of music that is catchy to listen to, but you wouldn't be caught dead doing so; a mix of ukulele and sad singing and more recently, sad rap.
They often times spend their time on the popular messaging app discord, mostly going on socialization and dating servers. They spend their time in the voice rooms the server provides, often times faking panic attacks and speaking with a tired monotone. Strangely enough, they will be in a relationship with somebody, but since they don't socialize very often, 9 times out of 10, it's online (On the aforementioned app Discord).
A more ancient equivalent to the "sadboy" is the emo, and in many ways they're similar, but the "sadboy" is a more modern take.
"Hey call Jacob, he might hang out with us!"
"He says he can't, he is something called a "sadboy" "
A sadboi uses his sadness (feigned or actual) as an excuse to behave like a fuckboy. He's like a fuckboy but he covers it up by being "in touch" with his emotions and by being self-deprecating. Claims he's very aware of his flaws and is "working on them," but (and this is key) never actually fixes them.
Girl: Hey, how are you doing?
Sadboi: I know I have a lot of commitment issues and anxieties I'm actively trying to work on and that's why I cant commit to you right now but I would like to continue fucking and doing mundane relationship things for as long as I see convenient.
Girl: ????
