Why do people tell others to work on themselves before or instead of a relationship?

You've had some really good responses Ava could I just add something small and simple.
I believe if you enter into a relationship in a good place (happy with/without a relationship) it's more likely to work.
Your relationship with yourself is the most important one you'll ever have.
I've only discovered this in the last few years.
For example learning your attachment style can be a revelation.
Learning I had a disorganized attachment style sucked but it made sense. I'm learning i can give myself comfort and reassurance, while also learning what a steady relationship actually looks like with my therapist.
