I know that many of us feel 'broken,' god knows I do sometimes, but objectively, I don't believe that those with mental illness are broken people; just struggling, often mightily.
Yea I don’t know if bipolar can co-occur with it either. I’m not sure. I shouldn’t of said I attract broken people. I do feel broken a lot I think it’s my emotions or bipolar talking. The guy I’m in a relationship with has called himself broken many times and I guess it kinda stuck in my mind. But every time he tells me that he is broken I tell him that’s not true. Bc I don’t want him to believe he is a broken person. I have read that until we have really good self love and love for ourselves and heal From some kind of trauma that we will keep attracting people who are kinda the same way. I also heard that empathic people typically attract psychopaths and narcissist because empathic people like to help other people and narcissists like to be use people without empathy. Empathic people help and love to give and narcissists love to take. Just some stuff I read.
