I'm all for a complete range of human emotions and believe integrating what Jung called the shadow (the things we feel, but suppress due to a belief that we shouldn't feel that way - whether through societal expectations or otherwise). Is a positive thing; one that gives us awareness, immediacy and control over our behaviours. People who have that quality tend to take responsibility for their feelings and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships - in my experience.
However, if an aspect predominates someone's persona to such a degree that there is no space for anything else, that can become a problem and perpetual bitterness can be draining to be around. In fairness so can perpetual happiness or optimism.
So for me, occasional bitterness is just being human and I would want any partner or friend to be able to express how they feel around me.
Authenticity is probably the most attractive personality trait for me. Everything else is meaningful, because it is authentic. |
