    In college my friends said “never date a girl that’s a psychology major. She’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with herself”.

      At least they’re are trying. That’s more than can be said for a lot of people. Is it better to be with someone who’s got an understanding of their issues and wants to resolve them, or be with someone who doesn’t acknowledge their issues and/or who leans into maladaptive behaviors because of them?

      I’ve dated people in both camps. I’ll take the psych major any day. By a long shot.

        Well said. I’m married to a clinical psychologist and she’s the most emotionally intelligent person I know. It’s the best. She’s the best.
