Anytime I meet someone with whom

I might form a romantic relationship, I stop because I know that this would never work out . Almost all of them are not familiar with mental health issues and hardly get me . They were sympathetic and very caring but our worlds never matched . I understand them but I don't relate to them
This made me think that some day I would find a person who would be as depressed as me and we will complete each other. Now as I look at SW and see men women struggling with depression and anxiety, I realise that I relate to them but I don't understand them . Yes they have same problems like mine but I don't understand myself too .
Truth is its very hard to form meaningful relationship unless you are healed . I was thinking that the walls were around them making me unable to see them , understand them or relate to them but
The walls are around me .

We all have walls and filters we use when we look at others. Finding something that could relate to you is one thing. But someone who would care and love you is better because then, even if you don't share similar experiences, they could keep trying because they do it out of love.

Every relationship is a two way street. They could knock but you need to let them in. In truth, we all have issues. Some are just better than others hiding them.
