How to use "Ill-adapted" in context?
The idea of being "ill-adapted" can be a more negative than positive label. It can be seen as a lack of ability to thrive in certain situations, or as unlucky circumstances that have knocked someone down. However, there can be good aspects to being ill-adapted as well. For example, if someone is very strong-willed and able to take advantage of any opportunity, they may be better off being ill-adapted than if they were well-adapted. Ill-adaptation is not always bad - it can be a strength.
