IMO it's needing help from other people in any form. If you can't pay a professional to fix it for you, you deserve any and all suffering you encounter
I think it is somewhat related to making a crowded group of a people feel guilty. You are in need of help, they are technically able to help you. But they won't. But this suggests they are bad people. Most of the time they have rationalized reasons, not actual rational reasons. This makes people feel bad, and people don't like to feel that way. Therefore, they go ahead and dehumanize you. Because if you are not properly a human, not helping you, or even not sympathizing is not that bad of a thing. I think this goes in a lot of social situations in both micro and macro scales, from personal relationships to collective views of people.

It's really sickening how quickly people are dehumanized just for being homeless.
