If you sanctimoniously tell someone who suffers from low self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness that they shouldn’t even think about being in a relationship “until you learn to love yourself”
Just know that what you’re saying to them is “your symptoms make you undeserving of love and companionship”
and that makes you super-duper ableist.
Depression, hopelessness, sorrow, anxiety, etc, are not mutually exclusive with healthy happy relationships.
