Same. I had a friendship with someone who had almost nothing and who I cared very very much about. I (naively) tried to find solutions to their problems but everything required them already having e.g. money, a car, several stable friends. Unless someone came in and literally sponsored their life for a year, they just had no way out of the bullshit. In the end I couldn’t do anything and ended up feeling suicidal for my effort.
Ours is an extremely inhumane society.
ETA: And the most frustrating thing is there’s absolutely no reason for it to be. People aren’t naturally this shit. It has been poisoned.
