Maybe they’re meant to be together?

I feel hurt after my cousin secretly started talking to a guy I confided in her about then tried to gaslight me about it and really started struggling with my mental health… I haven’t really dated in my 20s and he was my first real emotional connection.. I really wanted to be with him and we did talk and go out.. he ultimately ended up rejecting me and he just treated me like I was nothing.. I felt really depressed and I found out he was also attracted to trans women.. I have a trans cousin I was close with and I talked to her about it and showed her his @ twitter to see if he there were signs I missed… I just knew something was up awhile after and it sent me to pieces.. like just feeling betrayed and rejected.. I feel small.. and I feel like when I try to talk about it I’m dismissed and they’re encouraged..

I talked to my therapist and she says “is it so bad if they were together?” Or other people saying “so, let them fall in love”

So it’s just been a blow to my self worth entirely and right now I just kind of started doing Onlyfans and other stuff to feel somewhat good about myself and not think about never being chosen by any man.. and wanting to get work done.

And to define what 'not treating others well' is:

• No interest in, and little or no time for, the other.
• Asking no questions about the other's life or how they are doing.
• Being entirely self-focused.
• Looking for encouragement and support, but not giving it in return.
• Not showing appreciation for the other.

I'm only giving two multiple choice options, which I know is limiting, but it's purposeful. I'm trying to distill a complex issue down to brass tacks.

Thank you, in advance, for all comments and thoughts on the matter. Feel free to elaborate. I'd love to hear your anecdotal and personal stories of how you felt, from either vantage point, and what you concluded and did about it.

P. S. The main reason I left GAG years ago is because GAG sucks ass now, due primarily to management issues being made.
I wasn't going to mention it, but it's happening right now, as I am trying to post this question.

They have programmed A. I. to take over my title, and is repeatedly changing the wording on it.
Fuck off, GAG, and A. I. I will decide what I want to say, and exactly how to say it.

My title should be: Is depression or chronic stress a valid reason not to treat others well?
