They met in the psych ward. Your question kinda answers itself.

j4k3@piefed.world 20 hours agoWhy does anyone need to have such a desperate mentality? Being alone is far better than being with a terrible person.

Regrettably, for some of us, our own thoughts are the most terrible thing we can be with. Besides all the most terrible people I know have never been committed.

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.

Some of us do not have a choice at all.

Are… are you implying you’re envious of people in the psych ward?

They’ve both said it’s better to be alone than with a terrible person and that they don’t have a choice to be with anyone, so I don’t think they’re really thinking this stuff through.
