Homeless survival tip number three, spend as much time as you possibly can away from the homeless environment
What exactly is the homeless environment? Its basically wherever the homeless
people gather.
It can be the rescue mission, a day shelter, a soup kitchen whatever
although it is necessary you to spend time around
shelters and soup kitchens and clothing rooms, remember that this environment is
Toxic!
And the more time you spend in the homeless environment the worse your
situation will become and
the harder it will be for you to escape homelessness.
When I say Toxic, what I mean is, being in the homeless environment after a certain amount of time,
it will negatively affect you.
um you can become depressed and lithargic and despondent
and things can get so bad that you
completely lose your desire to leave homelessness. At that point
it happens a lot of homeless people are inclined to commit suicide because
they feel like he's no longer anyway for them out of the homeless environment
and that's only because they've been spending way too much time around it.
Not only does the homeless environment affect you
it can become you.
It can get within you to the point the toxicity
is you. You become "homelessness"
instead of it just being the situation you are in.
And that makes it even harder for you to get out of homelessness because then everything that is "non-homeless"
- the real world - becomes foreign to you.
and you won't know how to deal with it.
So, what I advise is that
go to the places in do the things that "non-homeless" people do.
go to Starbucks, go to the library, go to the park
stay away from home as people may be in those areas and
stay connected to the "non-homeless" people make friends with them, talk to them
keep yourself comfortable in that environment because once
the real world becomes uncomfortable to you
getting out of homelessness is nearly impossible.
So, spend as little time as possible
in the homeless environment.
Do whatever it takes I know it's difficult sometimes because of the way
some shelters and whatnot are organized
but it's really crucial to your well being.
for you actually getting out of homelessness.
Ok, that is survival tip #3. Number 4 should be coming up shortly.
