    I can see why it’s listed though. I tend to try to improve myself ad infinitum, and never start living and making mistakes. I’ve heard this so much that I’m pretty sure it’s one of the big reasons I haven’t been dating for a long time, even though I should. Funnily enough, my therapist told me to stop thinking and improving and just try it out. And she was right.

    So it’s not a wrong thing generally to say, but sometimes people have a hard time wrapping up the healing process and just trying things. And that’s when it gets bad.
