Why do I exclusively like broken/damaged guys?

[Anonymous]

For the longest time I've literally only ever felt attraction to men with mental disorders like severe depression, borderline, addiction (though) to only some extent and all those things. Just men who are very sad and broken I guess (this sounds so stupid I know)

I was diagnosed with depression myself eight years ago if that matters and I'm 20. I feel like I want to help those men somehow by giving them love but I don't understand how I could do that when I can't even help myself? I call it I can fix him disease lol. Why do I feel this way

I can suggest that there may be several reasons why you may be attracted to men who are struggling with mental health issues. One possibility is that you may be drawn to people who share similar experiences or struggles as yourself, and feel a sense of empathy or understanding towards them. Additionally, you may feel a sense of purpose or fulfillment in helping others, and feel that by being with someone who is struggling, you can make a positive impact in their life.

However, it's important to remember that relationships should be based on mutual respect, trust, and support, and not on the idea that you can "fix" or change someone. It's important to prioritize your own well-being and to seek support from trusted friends, family, or professionals if you are struggling with your own mental health or relationships.

It may be helpful to explore these feelings further with a therapist or counselor, who can help you understand your motivations and patterns in relationships, and develop healthy coping strategies and boundaries. Remember, you deserve to be in a healthy and fulfilling relationship based on mutual respect and understanding.

Because you hate yourself and you don't feel like you deserve anything good in your life.

I feel the same way, but you are a woman. You can get better things in your life. Men can only pray. But you have the ability to. Date a good man and stop wasting your time on lesser men like us.

Because many women like guys they can mould and fix. And two, maybe because you can relate to them better. I struggle with those issues myself sometimes but it's all good. That side is better off hidden lol.
