Now your advice has the benefit and weight of experience behind it. : )
Is it fukced up? Oh wait you said normal... To a bitter person no it is not normal. To a selfish person it is not normal.
But to an empathic person? Someone who is trying hard to love unconditionally? And...it is HARD to do, since we do not have wings nor play harps, just monkeys with opposable thumbs higher thinking and barely out of the "My bannana!" stage of evolution.
It is not normal either. : )
But it is a good thing to be.
