Is it normal to get crap for dating mental illness and sex workers?
I not sure why but this seems to be a major issue with people. I feel like I am probably less judgmental than most people. Yet, oddly people also have told me I am sick and using people for dating these type of people. Like why is there such a stigma around it? I have dated various people from the "Adult industry". A couple of porn stars and a few strippers. I also am notorious for dating people with mental illness. I tend to have a hard time relating or socializing with any sort of people that one might consider "Well adjusted" so I not sure if that is why this seems to be exclusively who I end up hanging around. I had this one coworker who would always start fights with me because they said by dating a person with mental illness you are simply using them. Which I believe is a disgusting premise as that is basically saying anyone with a mental illness does not deserve affection since they are apparently incapable of being loved. I had also been told before that dating anyone from the adult industry means you have low standards. Like, people act like they are not even people. I personally am extremely reserved and came from a super conservative and strict household.
