Is it normal to not value any other type of relationships other than romantic? Like, what if someone has friends but doesn’t value them or like them at all? They don’t dislike them, but they’re apathetic toward everyone who isn’t their boyfriend or girlfriend and don’t care whether they live or die. They don’t care about their children or their well-being. Is there anything wrong with this?
That is very not normal. Sounds like possible sociopathy with a fixation on the portrayal of love, but not the actual function of it. Or maybe some flavor of bpd, with the whole favorite person fixation thing. Either way, anyone who sees the world this way should probably talk to a professional about it because, if I’m being honest, this person sounds like they may be liable to do some heinous shit if things dont go their way. I can understand ones kids not being the most important thing in their life (depending on context ofc), but to outright not care about them? Something’s way off.
I’d be careful throwing diagnostics around. Last thing you want is the individual doing some internet doctoring. Could lead to them excusing their behaviors due to self diagnosed nonsense or self medicating based on an uneducated hunch. Not saying you sound wrong necessarily, just dont wanna add fuel to the fire. The person in question should ABSOLUTELY seek professional help and ask these questions as soon as possible.
