Replying to @ellieelh people remain lonely because of shame

I've got quite a lot to say about the preconceived ideas that some people have about the men or the clients that book people like me, but I just want to focus in on this particular comment specifically because when you stigmatize men in this way, it's not an isolated targeting. You're actually shaming the experience of loneliness, and I think that's a little bit problematic, particularly because it's an epidemic among older generations, but also correlations between shame and then unhealthy harmful behaviors. Just stigmatizing a very common human experience doesn't do any gender, any good. Human beings typically aren't the best at all, we're sharing about how they're feeling, and feeling lonely, may carry feelings of embarrassment or humiliation and shame, and so I think it's important we do our best not to perpetuate that. But also I think we shouldn't point and mock people who are seeking companionship, not going to be the first person to jump to defend the behaviour of men. I think the way that we talk about each other is important, and frankly I believe that if more men sort out the things that they needed, if they identified that they needed companionship, if they identified that they were feeling lonely, and then did things to support themselves and to connect with people. I think the word would be better place, and so perhaps the stigma actually is attached to the way this person is seeking companionship, and maybe that's the problem here, but I don't want to assume.
