I’m not a doctor, but this sounds a lot like the start of schizophrenia. You need someone competent to evaluate this possibility, because in case it was that, you need antipsychotics immediately - early medication can save you from lasting brain damage, every week counts!
I feel like no stupid questions includes no weird questions as well. Please don’t attack people for posting here.
No, it’s not.
That’s the problem, people are very diverse. Look around yourself for examples of couples (in real-life, not online), and I’m sure you’ll find many examples of “ugly” people of all genders being in happy relationships. I know a guy with a facial deformation in relationship with a beautiful woman, I know a seriously fat couple. The forever single people I know mostly have severe mental or personality issues.
Stopping dating because of looks sounds misogynistic. It implies all women are superficial, which is simply not true. I know several cases of men that could be seen as ugly for different reasons, who had no problem to find a partner thanks to their personality.
I agree fully. If you were not allowed to eat other life, you would be left with licking salt. But that’s not what I meant. What I meant was people use the “thing” label to make it easier to drop empathy - to do shitty things to both humans and other animals.
I think recognizing what is alive and what is not is a question of basic science education. I agree animals shouldn’t be treated as smartphones.
By treating animals like people, do you mean respecting them and not killing them or letting them work as senators?
IMO treating animals like things is definitely wrong, in the same way treating people like things is. Neither of them is a thing, all us animals are alive.
Only some people are something - like Jews during WW2. We call living creatures including people “things”, because then it feels more ok to kill them. It lowers the empathy.
She needs therapy and not just to keep the relationship. She’s not well. If she’s unwilling to work on herself though, I don’t see a bright future.
So it’s more like you’re into someone younger and you want to ask if it’s ok to date them? That depends on other circumstances, not just the age.
