It’s beyond me why someone who I have not known for a long time at all, who seems relatively well adjusted, still really seems to like and want to pursue an intimate relationship with me despite learning about (and witnessing first hand) the very very craziest and most unhealthy part of me.

I’m extremely emotional, unhealthy and borderline psychotic right now, in very obvious ways, and he knows everything. We aren’t really in a relationship yet and since learning the worst about me he still seems equally if not more intent on connecting with me. I haven’t even treated him very well, avoiding and hiding from him. I really don’t get it! I have raised every red flag in the book. I feel like there has to be some ulterior motive. Why would anyone want *that*?

Do any of you ever feel that way? Do you understand it? Is there sometimes an ulterior motive?
