Stop using dating sites as therapy!

I think a lot of people are taking this post the wrong way.

I took years off dating because I wasn’t in a good place. If I had strung along women into codependent relationships with me at this time I never would have gotten my shit together.

It was honestly really hard. I wouldn’t expect the vast majority of people to do this because it was hard. Honestly though, if I would have taken shortcuts I would be in the same place in my 40’s or 50’s. It’s not good for anyone to mask solvable problems with codependent relationships.

I still have anxiety and depression. OP isn’t saying that people with those problems shouldn’t date, they are hinting towards having it somewhat managed and avoiding co-dependency.
