LuckyM Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Some of us can love someone (of opposite sex) very much and not overly love yourself. The two are not necessarily correlated. I do not agree that you can love someone only as much as you love yourself. I doubt if there is any evidence, it is merely speculation. Another person might make you very very happy, I think. But if you are very unhappy over the long run, you are probably less likely to make someone else happy. People don't want a relationship with a miserable or unhappy soul--male or female. They are often stuck with it but it is no good. I myself am attracted to happy women--up to a point---too gleeful becomes annoying. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
HiCrunchy Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 No, I'm not happy really. Most days I am usually unhappy but on others content. The last time I remember being truly happy about life was in 2016. Most of my sad feelings I'd say are situational but out of my control. I don't think life itself is worth living or that it's a gift. Sometimes I wish I had a choice to exist lol. I didn't ask for this... It's part of the reason I am not having children but that's a topic for another day. My goal is to live my life without causing myself any unnecessary pain, hardship or discomfort, taking care of my socially required responsibilities, and distracting myself with activities, friends and other vices. I do have my health and for the most part a positive home life, tho it isn't perfect. Link to post Share on other sites
HiCrunchy Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Needing to love urself before somone can love you isn't true. So many people are suffering from depression and self-loathing, but have friends and family who love it despite it. Husband, wives, gfs and bfs that stick with them too, we see it all the time. As long as you love ur SO and they love you back, you can have a relationship. People who don't love themselves are worthy of love too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Lucky Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 wtf is that Benny is a pejorative term used by year-round residents of the Jersey Shore to describe stereotypically rude, flashy, loud tourists from North Jersey and New York. The origin of the term is disputed. One common theory says the term originates from an acronym that was stamped on the beachgoers' train tickets, representing the city in which they boarded the train to the Jersey Shore: Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, and New York. The term "Benny" may also originate from the early 20th century practice of wealthy New Yorkers taking trips to the Jersey Shore as treatment for myriad maladies such as anemia, hemophilia, and hysteria. These therapeutic trips were called "beneficials" by doctors and patients. Often, visitors would claim to be at the Jersey Shore on a "beneficial", hence the term Benny. Another theory is that "Benny" was used to identify New Yorkers who came down the shore flashing wads of $100 bills. "Benny" refers to Ben Franklin, whose picture is on the $100 bill. Still another theory refers to off-shore boat racing during the 1970's sponsored by the restaurant chain "Benihana's". The term 'Shoobie' is used by residents of resort communities in the southern New Jersey Shore, from Long Beach Island to Cape May. The term shoobie was originally used to describe day-trippers who took the train to the shore. The train offered pre-packed lunches that came in shoe boxes; hence the term "shoobie." However, over time the meaning has changed to include tourists who wear sneakers or shoes on the beach, as opposed to most locals who go barefoot on the sand. Google is your friend...
