        That was obviously wrong I’m sorry. It’s just that my loneliness obviously doesn’t stem from my lack of status or from my poverty since even people mich lower on the social ladder have a romantic life which means all my problems are my own fault and I should feel ashamed for having them which is what I meant to write sorry I was having a panic attack

          Not all your problems are your fault, but they are your responsibility to deal with. That’s the first thing I learned when I was in rehab. It’s not my fault I’m an addict, that’s a disease that’s entirely out of my control. It’s not my fault I’m schizophrenic. But it is my responsibility to manage the issues that arise with those conditions.

          In the same vain, it’s not necessarily your fault that you have a hard time socializing with other people, but it is your responsibility to manage those issues.
