It's not a black-pill! It's just a statement against entitlement. You do are not entitled to the love of other people. It is a free and undeserved gift, so you should be all the more grateful for it.
When I was a kid, my Middle Eastern family's love for me felt a bit suffocating. I sort of felt like it was the natural order of things, and maybe even resented a little. But now that I am a bit older, I realize just what it is, and how much you have to be thankful for.
Here we're talking about a different kind of love. But the same principle applies.
"Judge a man by his deserts and who will escape a whipping?"
All kidding aside, this resentful meme does not sound like "the ideal situation would be where someone would love me".
And there are many, many people who think that they are entitled to others because they are "nice guys" or "nice girls" or whatever.
I wish people would stop dropping the "self" when using the word entitled. That's what you actually mean.
You're entitled to a lot of shit, you're entitled to compensation for your labor, you're entitled to your property, you're entitled to your rights. Doesn't matter if those rights are trampled, you're just losing something you're entitled to.
People mean "self-entitled" which means you demand something you have no actual right to.
Perfect example of language "evolving" in confusing ways that hurt communication. This always happens every generation but now with social media words are changing definitions every few years.
IIRC the word "literally" is another example of a word that completely flipped meaning at least twice in history.
