It took me a few days but I actually read through this entire thread....

My perspective on baggage has always been this... a strictly negative term. Baggage is something that either inhibits or has the potential to inhibit an individual from having healthy relationships. Some people have steamer trunks and some have merely a small personal carry-on.

Let's say you dated a very controlling person before. I realize some might view this same person as a "take charge" individual. However, in your eyes, it was an unhealthy relationship for you. You recognized it, learned from it, and it has allowed you to more easily recognize those types of people/relationships and avoid them. You have grown, it is not "baggage". To me, baggage would be if you NEVER learned from it and always fell into the same type of relationship. OR, if it made you an extremist, seeing every action of a date/SO as "controlling".

Everyone has a different baggage list, what I consider baggage might not be so for someone else. What some of you see as D's baggage he sees as merely a filter. He has learned that this system weeds out the personalities he wants nothing to do with.
