Comment on Why should I have to feel sympathy for junkies?

Because they’re people.
You seem to have some sort of specific situation in mind other than just any and all drug addicts. Would you care to go into more detail?

My boyfriend’s grandma allowed one to stay in their house while waiting on disability until she stole her pain meds, they originally didn’t call the cops because they didn’t want them to be involved, but this bitch calls the cops and claims that because she gave them some money, she’s technically a tenant, so they’re stuck with the selfish bitch until they go through an eviction process

So, really, your problem isn’t with addicts, it’s with selfish assholes that take advantage of others.

Yeah, the difference in this case is that I’m expected to feel sorry for them just because they have an addiction, and that’s probably what infuriates me most tbh

Why do you feel that you have that expectation?
