I find it so hard to find anyone compatible. I’m basically slowing down my dating efforts because it just makes me miserable. Are there any success stories out there? Common personality types that pair surprisingly well? Anything?

    The way someone explained this to me was: you probably wouldn’t judge someone else the way you do yourself - certainly not if you knew the context and what they’re dealing with.

      Personally speaking, I feel like I don’t judge someone else the way I judge myself because I don’t know the full extent of what they are going through but I have access to all of my thoughts, memories, and every action I did or didn’t take. This lowers the possibility of there being a hidden, valid reason for actions or thoughts that I judge myself for compared to others.

      This isn’t meant to say that MisterMcBolt is right about their self-judgement. Just wanted to point out another possible reason for judging others differently from yourself.
