A relational interlude
Someone commented to me a while ago that every relationship they entered was usually with a 'damaged soul'. The other person was always battling with a sad tale of woe whether it be abuse, a painful break, drugs.. whatever.
"Why does this always happen to me" the person would ask.
I happened across an answer (in a Korean fitness magazine of all places).
The reason that you are in relationship with damaged goods is because by being with someone who needs help, it is easier to avoid addressing your own insecurities or problems. The focus will be on them and not on yourself.
My interpretaion is that this is very similar to the theory that every group of girls has a fat girl in the group so that the others look better/thinner.
Alright, maybe not, but both comments provide good food for thought.
