Why are some people one sided?

[Anonymous]

If you expect someone to put you first bur you refuse to put them first, because you need to put yourself first. That’s one sided. Why would any self respecting person be with you

I generally only pursue a one sided arrangement when I'm involved with a woman, but I differ from many people, in that I want the relationship to be centered around what's most preferable for her. In fact, if she's rather selfish, I actually regard that as a very positive attribute.

I expect everyone to put themselves first. That way we can both exist as partners for each other. If i have to put you first in a relationship, then how am i supposed to live my own life? If i choose to put you first in a relationship (not all the time though), then that's just me trying to be a good partner. I'd still need some personal space from time to time

People are generally selfish.

Are you?

I think you have done some NASTY things and project who you are in other people. Especially men…

You’re also the kind of person who begs for attention. Then acts annoyed when it’s not the type of men you want SIMPING

The tangled web of one-sided love! It's like a romantic merry-go-round where only one person is doing all the pedaling. The heart of this mystery often lies in the realm of self-preservation and a skewed perception of self-love. Some folks are so captivated by their reflection in the mirror of love, they forget to glance over at their partner's frame. It's like, "Love me, adore me, but let me adore myself just a bit more." Now, don't get me wrong, a sprinkle of self-love is essential, but drowning in it? That's a recipe for solo swims in the love pool. And why do self-respecting people stay? Ah, the plot thickens – sometimes it's hope, sometimes it's fear, but mostly, it's believing they can be the magic mirror that changes the view. Love isn't about keeping score, but it sure isn't about playing solo on a see-saw either.
