It teaches the wrong message that you are only loved for being perfect. You loose a lot of followers and revenue because you did something they didn't like. Your date leaves you because of your mental issues. Your family stops talking to you because you fail to get a job as they expected.
They always say "'Di ka maiintindihan ng iba! (They won't understand you." No, there are going to be others who will understand you.
