There's a good saying, "People become homeless not when they run out of money, but when they run out of relationships."
This post reads to me like someone suffering from mental illness and/or personality disorder.
- mettamage 9mo agoThis is the first time I'm seeing that phrase. And I think it hits the nail on the head.
- znpy 9mo ago> This post reads to me like someone suffering from mental illness and/or personality disorder. Sometimes people are just assholes, eh. I don't have the data to say this is the case, but "just being an asshole" is a circumstance that is often under-considered.
- hn_throwaway_99 9mo agoThat's the problem with personality disorders - we call them "disorders", but they're also fundamentally a part of someone's "personality", i.e. relatively unchangeable behavioral characteristics. It's hard to draw a clear line between "insufferable asshole" and "borderline/narcissistic/histrionic personality disorder".
- dd8601fn 9mo agoThe blog and the contents of the post both indicate it’s someone writing about a time they were homeless and suffering from psychosis.
