Yes, I've conflated the idea of "needing" something with the idea of "deserving" something.
For example, some people need food, but they don't deserve it just because they're alive. We call that hunger.
Other people need housing, but they don't deserve it just because they're alive. We call that homelessness.
Some need sex, but they don't deserve it just because they're alive. We call those people incels.
