Do you think insane people can be loved?

Yes, “insane” people can be loved. There are all kinds of medications made to help control and alleviate some problems that are brought on by mental illness.

However, you should never self-diagnose. Issues, which most people have in varying forms, don’t necessarily equate to mental illness.

As for your questions about why you behave certain ways, no one but a therapist could help you answer those questions. We don’t know you well enough, and there are a multitude of circumstances that might have caused specific behaviors in yourself.

I suggest you talk with a therapist and bring up any concerns you have.

Only if a person is sensitive enough to pick up what is truly below all that and can see the good in you. Without knowing you I sense there is A LOT of anger and disappointment/pain. Work on it, time is passing and you may at some point need companionship as you get older. Get on with the process of helping the anger subside.

Well, from what I’ve seen, there’s ample reason to suspect love itself to be just another form of insanity. I’ve certainly bumped into enough people in relationships that a rational person could only view as insane, to conclude that there are just as many folks “victimized” by love as there are who benefit from the affliction. The libraries of the world just bulge with tomes on stingy men lavishing their fortunes on tramps, men and women tossing life long principles and beliefs aside for dastards and thieves. Brave men betraying their nations for the attentions of bimbos, while pious women sell themselves on the street to support the drug habits of neer-do-wells. Don’t be fooled by all those mushy songs, and that hype designed to pimp greeting cards, flowers and candy. Love is hell’s roulette wheel, and you’re much better off viewing it as the terrifying risk that it is!

Of course.

I’d say anyone can be loved – if they allow themselves to be lovable.
Have you heard of the expression drama queen? Do any of those characteristics fit?
In general, reliable, stable, nice guys avoid such a person.
On the other hand “bad boys” are usually attracted and are willing to date for a short time.
What type of partner do you want?.

Well, apparently Oklahomans love this one. They put him in office.

@LuckyGuy I don’t think so. I just get this way with relationships!

You are only going to attract what you put out there. There are enough people with their own baggage on the planet so that every puzzle piece is likely to have it’s own fit of one or two or three, but will you or they be happy? Some relationships only bring misery. Love or not.

Is it possible that you don’t feel that you’re deserving of love? Is pushing love away your way of testing to see if someone loves you enough? Of seeing if their love is really real? That may not be insane but it is the sign of a troubled individual who needs to love themselves first in order to feel truly loved. I have known a person who was like that and it was very painful to love them. It was hard. My love was true, but they didn’t believe it was, nothing could make them believe it was, because they didn’t love themselves. Sad, very sad…

Anyone worth having won’t put up with that kind of bull shit. If they do, they have enough problems of their own.

Anyone can be loved. It’s what one does with the love one receives that truly tells the tale.

What @Judi says is true.

You get what you give.

Are you testing your partner to see how much they will tolerate? Don’t do that if you are. It’s a horrible practice.

Yes, keep your insane friend close and your Ice pick closer.
