Mental illnesses are common and affect many people around the world. They can range in severity and duration, from mild depression to severe schizophrenia. If you have a mental illness, you may wonder how it affects your chances of meeting a romantic partner.
First of all, it is important to understand that mental illness does not define you as a person. You are much more than your illness. Secondly, it is important not to be ashamed of your illness. It is important to be honest and transparent with your potential partner, while deciding when is the most appropriate time to do so.
Finally, it’s important to focus on the positive aspects of your personality. You are a unique and interesting person, and there will be people who are attracted to that, mental illness or not. Learning to be comfortable with your illness and talking openly about it can be an important step toward creating healthy, positive relationships.
It is also important to take care of your mental health by working with a mental health professional and getting appropriate treatment. Mental health is essential to building healthy and fulfilling relationships.
In short, mental illness doesn’t have to be an obstacle to finding love. Being honest, working on yourself, and taking care of your mental health are the keys to successfully flirting despite a mental illness.
Are you suffering from a mental illness and wondering if you too have the right to adventures, sex or love? Well yes. Everyone has the right to that, and even if you have an illness, there is no reason why you should be deprived of all these things that everyone has the right to.
Everyone has their own differences that can make them feel disconnected or excluded from a certain reality. Sure, a mental illness is more cumbersome than an intrusive mother or an ingrown toenail, but what we mean is that you first have to stop seeing yourself as deficient and instead consider the other skills you have developed above and beyond to compensate for your illness.
Seduction is above all a matter of self-confidence. We’ve told you this enough times. Some men are physically disadvantaged, for example, but are real heartbreakers. Others are not particularly brilliant but also seduce with great dexterity. Conversely, some men who are really glamorous on paper are not really successful. Why? Because they don’t have confidence in themselves or are too self-centered to succeed in seducing a woman.
Seduction is all about attitude and your illness doesn’t make it a handicap to have the right attitude. Will it work on all women? NO, that’s clear, but no man has power over all women. So let’s forget the traumatic rejections and disappointments and move on to the positive.
First of all, don’t try to hide your illness. It will become visible at some point anyway, so you might as well accept it as a part of your personality, like everything else. Yes, it is sometimes a handicap, but if you convey the image of someone who lives well with it, the person opposite will also be able to project themselves onto the fact that living with this difference is possible. If you seem to hide it, you will seem deceitful and will give the woman opposite you the feeling that she will have to juggle it in everyday life and hide it. Which is not very… engaging.
Secondly, don’t brandish your illness either. Yes, here we are offering you a happy medium. If you only talk about it all the time, it will be difficult to envisage a normal relationship, because your target will think that your illness is the center of your life and will not really want it to become the center of his.
Brandishing your illness, both in the negative and the positive. Let’s explain: constantly complaining about your disability, your difficulties is not attractive, nor attractive at all. A little lightness, you are not recruiting a nurse. But constantly making jokes about your illness will send the message that you are uncomfortable with it and that you are distracting. You are not recruited for a one-man show.
Be light as much as possible to find that happy medium.
Next, highlight the qualities that make you who you are with this disease. Even if it sometimes gets in the way, you have surely developed valuable qualities. Are you a particularly good listener? Are you more sensitive than average to certain things? Don’t hesitate to turn all of this into a showcase. Because they are real treasures!
As you will have understood, your illness does not prevent you from moving forward in life, so listen to yourself to seduce the person of your dreams… or of your nights!
