Do you think you attract a certain type of person that is unhealthy for you? If so why do you think that is?

I am a cheater and creep magnet. I take the blame, because I am the one with bad tastes clearly as this isn't my first rodeo with this type. Just trying to figure out why I keep doing this.

I was horribly abused, and I wanted to be a knight as a boy and save the princess.

So I'm constantly like "which women is horribly broken beyond repair?! I must fix her! I must save her day!"

@Tarxarin childhood trauma really messed with people long into adulthood unfortunately

@SlippingAway you know I was listening to the tim fierriss podcast and this lady was talking about a book about this and why the mind is constantly trying to remake trauma in our dating lives. I'll have to go find it.

@Tarxarin it's a good thing to be aware of the cycle, it's the only way to break out of it I suppose.

@SlippingAway I mean with some self awareness, we can always try to avoid what we know.

I know I have princess syndrome so I rely on friends to balance me out, and point it out. I take everything slow.

@Tarxarin having some good friends to tell it to you straight is priceless 😊

@SlippingAway thank you I appreciate it. Hope your doing ok.

@Tarxarin thank you, I think I will be eventually. Just trying to process some things right now, but I am resilient if nothing else.

@SlippingAway it's never about how hard you get knocked down, it's always about getting back up.

I appreciate your tenacity.
