I'm married to an autistic man that is incapable of providing emotional support of any kind. I'm one of those people that really needs it. Even I wouldn't resort to this. This is delusion.

Yeah, but like, I kind of feel that way about prostitution (like I am not going to enjoy myself with someone who's being paid to pretend they're enjoying it) but also, I know a few sex workers who've told me how much of their job is just companionship and listening, holding while people cry, etc. So it's clearly an outlet for some people. We really need to attack the disconnection and loneliness at the root of this, not the symptoms manifested by those suffering.

[โ€“] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

I hope you have a great support group that can be there for you! You deserve it!

My granddaughter has been diagnosed with autism and we're all learning what it means to be a parent and grandparent. You're right it's not the same and some things we just need to learn to live with. And she's wonderful, delightful, and I smile every time I see her.

People are keyed up and do not have emotional regulation skills. This is a failure of society.

We make fun of them for their โ€œfakeโ€ emotional support animals, their public panic attacks and for their attempts at discreet electronic emotional support. This is also a failure of society.

That guy trying to make it through his fight is not the reason the earth or humans are doomed.

[โ€“] Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Nobody said hes the reason. Hes a symptom

[โ€“] DeLancre@piefed.social 1 points 3 hours ago

Hes a syndrom?

Everyone can have mental problem! And when everyone's insane... ...no one will be.

There's nothing more human than treating a symptom in counterproductive ways while avoiding the real cause with ridiculous levels of mental gymnastics, because it obviously cannot be that one thing. If it was then we'd have to actually do something about it, which we clearly don't need to!

Humans, but really all resource constrained things try to do the easiest thing first.

[โ€“] Paddzr@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Most of people here are fine with this person continuing with it because empathy is fucking dead here. Idk how lemmy became more soulless than reddit.

[โ€“] tempest@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Look man im sorry I can't emphasize with a tweet screenshot I'm just trying to get through the day.

And that's exactly the point. We're so fatigued from the state of the world and separated through the anonymity of the internet that we really have lost the ability to empathize.

Our first reaction is anger or ridicule. Not concern or compassion
