@ SakuraLi Wow Im sorry that ur experiences with relationships with certain mentally ill ppl were negative. Mental illness works in mysterious ways. Its severity and symptoms vary from person 2 person. Unfortunately, theres no such thing as a perfect relationship. The bad thing is theres no way to tell if a person you might be intrested in is the one youve been lookin 4. The only way to truly know someone is to invest time and gain mutual understanding, Of course theres the process of dealing with the things u may not like about that person, but if u can look past that, it might work out. Ive also had a rough upbringing, and in my teens, Ive lived the lifestyle of a gangster in the streets. At least u gave certain mentally ill dudes a chance and thats sayin A LOT. But use ur past experiences as knowledge to spot potential problems in a relationship to avoid further harm. I wish you luck in your future relationships, and I appreciate ur insight and open mindedness!
