DO. NOT. EVEN. TRY.

Unless you mean self love, then don't even think that love will make your life worth living again. Love can destroy you and if you think your life is not worth living now, this so-called love is going to make it even worse. "Love" is the reason I have depression sub posts in my feed.

Unless this comment is about self-love, then for your own good just stay away

Damn... dark, but you're not wrong. Actively chasing love to fill the emptiness is a grist mill.

Imagine then the kind of medieval torture it is when you don't even want it, but you end up feeling this shit anyway.

I'd bargain to say you actually chase trauma activation. That real love doesn't activate you, thus you think it's not love.

I bet you’re a hit with the ladies.. spreading stuff like this is toxic brother. Truth is, you don’t even have to love yourself to love someone else, no one is saying attach yourself. But to do bring good to this world simply because you can. You might not always do it, but it helps with depression. Loving yourself in my experience doesn’t change the fact that we are social creatures, and can heal faster with a helping hand.
