If someone is in a place where they are choosing between dating a body pillow and suicide, then they have DEFINITELY made a wrong turn somewhere. They need some kind of assistance, and I hope they can get what they need, no matter what they choose. I think my statement about "a wrong turn in life" is being interpreted too strongly; it wasn't intended to be such a strong and absolute statement of failure. Someone who's taken a wrong turn has simply made a mistake. It could be minor, it could be serious. I'm not saying their life is worthless. I've made a TON of wrong turns myself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] liv@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago (2 children) Trouble is your statement was in answer to @morrowind@lemmy.ml's comment that labeling lonely people as losers is problematic. Also it still looks like you think people can only be lonely as a consequence of their own mistakes? Serious illness, neurodivergence, trauma, refugee status etc can all produce similar effects of loneliness in people who did nothing to "cause" it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) That's an excellent point that I wasn't considering.
