BigAngryDinosaur comments on Being a "reformed creep" and letting go: "So how do you avoid becoming a part of this very human, very common and very real cycle of subtle abuse? You must have particular standards for your relationships with others. Do not cling to an unhealthy relationship because you think you'll never make any new friends or romantic partners. You must be able to talk about what you want from a relationship and decide with your partner or potential partner if those standards are compatible with them, and you have to be able to decide if someone is good for you as well as being attractive to you. And someone who is good for you, may not always make you comfortable. A good partner tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, and allows you the discomfort of figuring out how to grow from there.
