  • I see it as unpopular in the sense that each of us individually struggles with our own acceptance from our own interpretation of social relations. It only takes one unpopular opinion in this case for it to be true. In this way, our flaws often become the most dominant parts of who we are in a social domain, the things that we fixate on more than anything else.

    I completely agree about being radically honest with yourself. But even further, we should even question why we see certain traits as flaws and others as strengths. Not to entirely devalue their categorization, but to recognize why those traits, good and bad, and their social implications are important.











  • I dated someone with major depression and PTSD for three years. I’m not going to say it was the easiest experience supporting them, but I loved them very deeply for who they are and we had a nice relationship. Before we met, I hadn’t met anyone I’d related to as much as I had with them. Dating is definitely possible, but as with any dating, it can also be painful and you might not get what you’re looking for. It’s crucial for all of us, not just those majorly depressed, to take care of ourselves through every situation. Be sure to interrogate whether or not the way you’re approaching relationships is exacerbating your depression; if you’re looking for dependencies or not.
