The point wooshed above your head.

You valued connections and networks, so you made a CHOICE.

Nobody is forcing people to make choices. If you don't have money, you can move and have food and shelter or you can stay in a place you like living at except you have to struggle.

Choose one way or another. Does not matter. But you made the choice based on your priorities.

After you choose, you don't get to complain about how the choices you made led to consequences you don't like so much.

Point is, it doesn't matter how you make your decisions, but strangers do not have a moral obligation to bail you out of bad consequences.
