Should the mentally ill and the self-loathing stay away from

No, you just need to get help so you can man up and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

mental illness and self loathing are not mutually exclusive with productivity and positive social interactions. yours might be, but plenty of sick, hateful people do just fine.

>Should the mentally ill and the self-loathing stay away from people/society?
No. In fact, for many of us, staying away played a big role in getting us to this state, and even for the others, it never helps.

>Are we just a burden?
To a certain extent we ARE a burden, but to a certain extent everyone is a burden. A person in society is like an engine in a car: it adds a lot of weight that has to be moved around, but if you take it out to save weight, the car won't run. The real question is whether the engine can pull its weight, and most people with mental illnesses are quite capable of that.

But for those of us lucid enough to be having this conversation at all, there is another reason to stay in: reintegrating is a vital step in the healing process. It may not get better even if you reintegrate, but it CANNOT get better if you stay away.

Unless you plan on moving to the edgy of/out of town, making you house to have its own power, water, and crops; then the fact of the matter is that you must live with people to some degree. Try to find some nitch in society that people don't go to often e.i. funeral home asst. corners clerk ect.
