Have you heard of the saying “beggars can’t be choosers”? Anon writes that they had zero romantic success elsewhere. Theoretically there are more options than Tinder and a psych ward, but this is a 4chan user.
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.
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.
You don’t understand what I have said. The idea that people must partner is nonsense. I am not required to be a beggar. Implying that everyone must pair is nonsense. I do not care where people meet. Being happy with yourself if far more critical when it comes to building a good relationship. I have been in many long term relationships. When I was young, I made the mistake of thinking I had to “find someone” and compromise. That was one of my dumbest moves in life. The idea that this is normal is idiotic and a main reason people get in terrible situations in life. Work on you first, then you will find someone that intersects your life in naturally compatible ways. If not, that is fine too. Going looking only results in finding people that like to go looking. That results in misery unless you want to spend your life looking.
You are also inferring that my preferred sexual orientation as asexual is invalid. That prejudice is offensive to me in its primitive lack of self awareness and depth.
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.

Why does anyone need to have such a desperate mentality? Being alone is far better than being with a terrible person.

Some of us do not have a choice at all.
Are… are you implying you’re envious of people in the psych ward?

Y’all are stupid halfwits. I’m in social isolation from physical disability.
Hey, that makes two of us! That doesn’t change the argument, either.

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