Quote by Jarod Kintz

I define myself and grow as a person through emotional torment, so if you love me, you will inflict as much pain on me as you possibly can.

I define myself and grow as a person through emotional torme

Summary

This quote suggests a rather self-destructive and unhealthy perception of personal growth. The speaker believes that their personal development and self-definition are derived from emotional torment and pain inflicted by others. They expect love to manifest through intentionally causing them pain, as they view it as an essential catalyst for their growth. However, this mindset implies a misguided understanding of personal growth, as true growth should ideally involve healthy and positive experiences that promote self-esteem, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.
