I feel like this is an unpopular opinion,but

if you dont take care of yourself (mentally/physically), dont focus on growing as a person, dont put time and effort into your education, your career, your hobbies, your appearance , your relationships , how do you expect others to be romantically attracted attracted to you? As harsh as this sounds I imagine it to be true for most people that they would not want to date or be with someone who neglects themselves ,who needs others to take care of them , who drags you down one way or another. I just dont understand, how do you expect others to just want you when you dont want to spend time on yourself to begin with?

@SW-User Funny thing is, I used to be as well but since I've become healthier in myself and my life I'm attracted to confident people with strong personalities now. I think like really does attract like.

@Ryannnnnn Oh. People can definitely be confident and strong on the outside but vulnerable & broken on the inside. Not everyone can see it. Actually only a selective few.

@SW-User I think everyone has something going on, nobodies happy 24/7. The last girl I connected with I think had a drinking problem and likely more stuff going on actually. I like her but in reality I don't know if I'd of dated her. Gotta protect your own mental health as well. Problems a lot of the time are what make us relatable when it comes to relationships as it's quite a personal thing.

@Ryannnnnn To me that's what makes someone "the special one" who's worthy of one's heart. Their sacrifices. When they genuinely & selflessly care. It's not always healthy but nothing is perfect and especially not love. Otherwise they're just like the other people.

@SW-User ugh that's so unhealthy ...that whole codependency is not good
