But this is the thing. Many people don't, or have some other real or imagined barrier preventing them from it. Many people are really extraordinarily isolated.
While I relate to the heart of the poem, there is an aspect of it that's essentially criticizing people for their suffering. There's a "just stop drinking" vibe.
- customguy 4mo ago> Many people are really extraordinarily isolated. Then let's talk about that, and encourage them to speak up and reach out, rather than entombing them and throwing away the key. I can stand someone who is lonely, and awkward, or sad. I have been all those things. I cannot stand someone who is so hospitalized by talking to LLM constantly that they treat me like a jukebox, too. That they're not even stupid or bad with words, but cannot think at all, and do it in a high volume, high confidence manner, with lots of big words and things that seem to make sense until you put weight on them. So unless someone more patient than me comes along, as far as I'm concerned, they are now lonely for good, unless I can avoid it. And that's not a state of things I want for myself or others.
- jimbokun 4mo agoYou're right. It's much better to forever wallow in your loneliness and lack of friends, instead of working on how to develop better friendships and relationships.
- 1shooner 4mo agoI just don't think moralistic condescending poetry really helps any of that.
