You're using them exactly as intended, and that's a good thing. Being on benefits alone does not mean people dislike you. I think the way most people see it is that there are two groups: the people who try and get jobs and use benefits to live in the meantime, and the ones who intentionally coast by and live on the taxpayers money without ever intending to work honestly. You are part of the former group. The good ones. So please don't feel guilty for accepting help. permalink fedilink source parent
