I have been going to therapy off and on for years and whenever I bring up my desire to date and my difficulties with it I have gotten back to just work on myself and online I have seen “if you aren’t happy alone you won’t be happy in a relationship”. I have major depression and have had it for years. Am I supposed to just hope it goes away? Wait until my entire life has passed?
Gross question. I get what you’re asking, but some of us never get better or even good enough to ‘deserve’ a partner. It’s still our right to pursue love and companionship.
Is that really fair. I’ve definitely had periods of my life where it’s seemed selfish
