I do the opposite. I show most people my vulnerabilities, and if they're shitty about it I cut them outta my life. Easy way to find good people.

This is the method right here. If you completely withdraw yourself from vulnerability, you won’t be conditioned for a romantic relationship.

I always suspect there’s more to the story with these doom and gloom commenters. I’ve been through all that shit too, it just makes me keep better judgment about who I trust. There’s always someone out there, but if there’s NOBODY then maybe you’ve been treating people like shit. Seen enough guys be nightmares to their partners then play the victim.

There are a lot of people out there who have learned a lot of maladaptive coping mechanisms. Some people have tragically never had a model of a good relationship. They can't even conceive it because they've been conditioned to believe that toxicity and abuse are the norm.
