Bad Behavior

As I peruse posts regarding gender relations. I have noticed a reoccurring theme, and that theme is bad behavior. Regardless of whether you are male or female, if you are putting up with bad behavior, according to the wisdom of the internet, you are a moron who has no self-respect.

You want to talk about love, get out of here with that nonsense! The important thing in a relationship is how you personally benefit from it and if you are pouring in emotional labor with no payoff, you are being horribly abused. Don't expect anyone to feel sorry for you though, you're the one who is putting up with it.

In an age where we have moved past merely surviving, it's about quality of life and if your partner is emotionally abusing you, that's no life! The internet teaches us that people will do the absolute bare minimum to get what they want and if you let them get away with that, you deserve the hell you have put yourself through. All the red flags where there, you just chose to ignore them because you're projecting your fantasy on someone who only wants to take advantage of you.

In a world where the media sells us fantasies, you need to stop believing the lie that people care about you. You need to stop believing the lie that your "person" is out there waiting for you to find them. The only thing your "person" is interested in is sucking the life out of you and consuming all your resources.

Wow, that went downhill fast. Anyway, maybe you are not reading the same stuff I am but if you are, you are probably looking for a bridge to jump off of. Hopefully there are none close by. Through all the disillusionment there is some truth to be found, but the road to get there is as depressing as hell.
