  • The idea that people must partner is nonsense.

    True, which is why I never wrote that. But many people really want to be with a partner and suffer if they aren’t, and thus if they have very limited options they are “beggars” in the context of that situation using the language of that saying.

    You are also inferring that my preferred sexual orientation as asexual is invalid.

    No, the issue is that you take your preference/situation as universal. Just because it’s true for you doesn’t mean it’s also true for anon, or that’s it’s not even worth the risk to find out.



  • Because to many people, being alone for their entire lives is already terrible. And it’s not like it’s a foregone conclusion that a relationship with a person you met in psych ward is terrible, it’s also possible that it’s good (or at least better than with a non-psych ward person) because they understand each other’s issues. Conversely, many people who never went to a psych ward also have mental health issues, which often go entirely untreated.
