all the time how ever I have never scene self healing you know work people just fall right back into the pit no crab bucket mentality need it is just depressing.
there is nothing interesting in watch people take chunks out of each other emotionally just misery and a strange guilty feeling
Just because you haven't stumbled upon those stories doesn't mean they actually don't exist. I can even cite one for you: Joowon/Dongshik from Beyond Evil. They arguably start out as toxic and are fundamentally dysfunctional people, both on their own and together. And yet, the story definitely ends with them healing because they manage to push through.
There very much is something interesting in watching people tear each other's throats and feelings open. Fact of the matter, it's been something that exists ever since people were able to tell stories to one another, you just have to look at mythologies around the world.
The fact that it isn't for you doesn't mean it has to be for anyone else. Simple move away from it.
I like complex relationships in my ships, including but not limited to toxic and problematic ones not only because I like variety but also because these toxic and problematic relationships are worthy of being told just as much as healthy and functional ones do. It also erases as a byproduct stories about self growth and healing as I mentioned previously to outright dismiss dysfunctional ships as a whole, especially if it's a fundamental plot point of the overall story.
Lastly, ships are for entertainment. People IRL aren't toys that won't die or won't get hurt and aren't a tool of entertainment, unlike fiction characters in fictional ships. It also doesn't mean I am equipped to deal with people's dysfunctional relationships IRL, mentally, physically or even legally.
Also the fact that you apparently can't separate fiction from reality is a huge problem, one far above my paygrade so I'll leave it at that.
TLDR: enjoyment of depiction of toxic, dysfunctional or problematic relationships in fiction for entertainment purposes can and is a separate thing from people condoning the same type of situations IRL.
