Remember those people who told you that if or unless you do or don't do or say or seem like or look like or act like this or that, that no one will like you or love you or associate with you or refrain from harming you or pay attention to you or believe you or believe in you?
Those people that told you that said something extremely dehumanizing towards you and you know it.
No one is too wierd to have their people somewhere. Even in some non-human form. But still on this planet as well as off it.
No one is too bad or unpleasant for that either. No one is bad or unpleasant as any part of them. Wrongness and evil and whatever else negative isn't any part of anyone and no part of anyone is any part of it. It's the lack of being anything, the depression everyone gets caught up in and gets forced to let it get caught up in us by making us hold onto it. And furthermore, any bad a person does, including neglecting to do good, is no worse than any bad a lot of other people do by action or omission, and they are never the only person on that planet who has done all the types of "sins" that they have or thinks as they do.
So those who tell you you will live or die lonely and alone are dehumanizing you through what they say itself, and through the isolation that they are trying-- and sometimes succeeding-- to cause you as a result if you don't do as they say or refrain from doing what they don't want you to.
So never let anyone tell you "But they were trying to PROTECT you by telling you that!"
"They dehumanized you to protect you."
That's something one would say to pacify someone they think is an idiot.
Or not all there. I kind of hope in my case that it's the latter. Because in this dumb society, "not all there" is more of a temporary condition whereas "idiot" is a generalization, seen as a lifelong chronic unchanging expression of less-than-ness.
So they're allowed to make the unforgivable mistake of dehumanizing you, in order to protect you from stubbing your toe, or being dehumanized by a third party? But you're not allowed to make the mistake of knowing or expressing who you are and what you need and that your people are out there, for fear you make WHAT mistake? What do they think you'll do? Even if you suffered or died as a result, you would have died faster or in a more agonizing way if the one who tried to "protect" you by telling you you'll die without THEIR particular shallow values kept controlling you. That is the reason you left them in the first place. And if you did do something wrong out there to others, maybe you wouldn't though. And if you did, it would be no more wrong than what that person telling you "no one will love you if" is doing to you now.
The fact that anyone believes that it's EVER excusable, unavoidable, necessary, okay, passable, acceptable, needed, wanted, humane, worth it for anyone, or ever an option to "protect" someone by keeping that person in ignorance of that person's self, their own soul, is unspeakably insulting to the intelligence of all involved.
It's so evil that no words will ever describe how evil it is. No one is evil, but that action they felt they had no choice but to do is evil. And never worth it.
It's never okay to sacrifice some way or trajectory or expression of someone else's in order to save that person. Because what if that something currently IS that person? It's never okay to take away someone's way of saying or doing something either. What if that's all they have to express or explain themself? Either offer them a better way first, or don't try to change them at all. Walk away if you can and must. But don't hurt or harm them.
If it involves any dehumanization at all, it involves too much dehumanization to handle. Because by its very definition and nature, dehumanization is too much to handle... it's being treated like you are less sentient, not sentient, finitely sentient, temporarily sentient, or conditionally sentient.
Dehumanization turns everything it touches into shit until it gets retracted and genuinely redacted.
