Why do we miss people who are bad for us?

SW-User
Good experiences condition us to become complacent.

Bad experiences encourage us to change and reevaluate ourselves, our values and what we deem safe.

In my opinion, this is why the latter tends to be more relevant.

This is a really good question, because I miss somebody who treated me really badly...Sometimes I forget just how cruel he really was, and gaze upon that gorgeous smile of his.
Yeah, perhaps it's just remembering the good times

🤔 I've never missed anyone who was bad for me... Pretty sure I become highly vocal over how much those people suck.. 😶
Wow, that's awesome man, cuz it sucks.

I think the closest thing I got to that is missing Emma I guess.. 🤔 But it's really just the relationship that was toxic, not her herself.. So I'm not sure if that counts..
@OpenArmPolicy: It's close enough.

I miss some old friends who were kinda jerks and I miss an abusive ex.
