I guess I think of someone who is intentionally, severely damaging their body due to mental issues, like cutting. But I don't like the term "damaged goods" applied to people and have never used it before this thread. It reminds me of some boxed product that was damaged in shipping. People are not boxed products.
It's an expression. Perhaps somewhat cruel if you take it to its literal meaning, but to me it is synonymous with baggage or "having issues".
I could go on for a while, but I'm almost certain several would take offense to it.
A young woman with too many kids (3+), or a hot woman that has an ex that is just disgustingly overweight and & unnattractive. I cant help but look at those situations and be like "ewww, she let that fat MotherF..... lay on top of her" Thats like a house in Beverly hills is being rented to section 8e folks. That property is now damaged goods

I don't care much about a person's past baggage, just the person they have ultimately become. If the person has current "issues" (which may be subjective) then it should be addressed and/or accepted, rather than labeling the person as "damaged goods" IMO.

Damaged goods are often capable of being repaired. You have to decide whether or not it is worth the time and effort to do so and there are no guarantees. I'm okay with accepting the label. I embrace the fact that I'm in need of a little TLC, but deep down, I know that there's a diamond that glistens with the light of 1,000 stars. Just waiting to feel inspired again.
The only people who don't have baggage are babies. Even then some are born with genetic baggage. As we grow up we all have sad and/or bad things happen to us, we are all contaminated by the world in some way, shape or form. Yet all of us have redeeming qualities and almost anyone can be reformed and be whole people again.
There are no damaged goods, there are simply fallible humans.

Nope, redemption comes from within. It's a conscious decision we make to be a better person.
