Help Intentionally getting into a toxic relationship...

[cookiencream]

I've been wondering if I should get into a relationship with a guy I know is a crappy partner. I recently got out of a relationship too so the relationship wouldn't be good for me mentally at all. I'm wondering if I should do this to push myself over the edge fully. And by dating this guy everyone around me would either hate me or be disgusted by me, so they wouldn't even miss me andddd I'll feel even worse. What do you think?

I would firstly say no... being in a toxic relationship would have to be far worse than being alone.

But... I also have to say... if you think it is that easy to get into a toxic relationship "just because"... then you are light-years ahead of me because I've been unable to get into any relationship, good or bad, my entire life. I in no way want a toxic relationship... I'd rather suffer alone than suffer being tormented by someone else... but that some people find it so easy to even get into bad relationships baffles and depresses me in a different way.

Surely there's easier ways...this just feels like a disaster waiting to happen...
