Thinking about relationships. All kinds.

There's no such thing as "benign neglect."

"Oh, they're not actively hurting me, they're just not really emotionally engaged with me. It's not physically or verbally abusive, maybe not even mentally abusive, I can live with this. I'll just change me & my perceptions, and I'll feel better about it all."

No.

That is what we generally label "benign" neglect -- except that IT DOES CAUSE DAMAGE and results in depression & acquired lack of self-worth.
