I just wanna say

@SW-User not necessarily. The reasons i dislike myself could be out of my control. Myself as an example. Your own problems should not keep you from loving and being loved.

@Ohbabe I don't make any judgments about dysfunctional relationships. Most people have them. But to say there are no adverse consequences is not an accurate representation of reality. I grappled with severe depression and anxiety in my younger years and still managed long term relationships. But reality is that mental illness does affect your ability to have a healthy relationship with others.

@SW-User Mental illness definitely affects relationships but those affects aren’t necessarily bad. Im not saying that this idea doesn’t have some truth to it. Sure. A person that’s detrimental to themselves can definitely do the same to others. My only point here is that this isn’t necessarily true for many people.

@Ohbabe I completely disagree with that assessment. It doesn't speak true from experience nor from what I see others experience.

@SW-User and I completely disagree with yours. Considering what I see others experience. Its fine. lol. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me
