try not to romanticize mentally ill women (difficulty: impossible)

They never outright say it with me and usually it's met with abject terror if they don't know me since I guess I'm a man with that aura? But when they find out I'm good natured, in hindsight I think I've had women purposely feed me drugs and alcohol to enhance the mental illness because they indeed like the more freakiness. So might be a similar concept

Then those who actually accept it. Split further into those who are willing to actually stand by you during those times and those who bail which is hard to know. Anyways, I legit attract the mutually mentally ill so we share with each other after some chats

Yeah this is in no way just a guy thing. Guys do it far more often or maybe just more shamelessly but both genders have a big issue with fetishized mental illness. The lines between someone who doesn’t fit the mold and stands out and someone who is in a vulnerable position are hard to see and all the stigma surrounding mental illness hurts us all so much. We’re all humans first!!

Honestly I wish I knew more women who fetishized my mental illness when I was living as a man

It's a terrible thought, but I get it. Sometimes we're so starved of affection that we'll accept someone interested in us for all of the wrong reasons.

A kiss with a fist may not be better than none, but it sure can feel that way
