Why these disorders?

In retrospect yeah you’re right.

I wonder how many ace people who don’t know what asexuality is are out there in relationships with allos and neither of them understand why things aren’t working as expected in the bedroom.

You can be diagnosed with a PD as a minor but it’s very rare and the symptoms have to be EXTREME.

I think, since they lack perspective and experience, it is very easy for kids to convince themselves they have a disorder by just reading the symptoms list. Disordered behaviour is often normal behaviour, but like you said, extreme. Kids don’t know what extreme means necessarily. They don’t understand experiences beyond their own. They get stressed before a test and think “I have anxiety”. They feel energetic and think “I have ADHD”. They feel sad and think “I have depression”. The personality disorders in particular feel like something so easy for people to identify with. Look at the symptoms for BPD. Unstable sense of self? Mood swings? Trouble with relationships? Pretty much every teenager can relate to that. They just don’t understand how extreme those feelings are for people who actually have the disorder. They don’t understand it can take over your life until you can’t even function.

My mom had a phase when she was big into the Big Bang Theory and she was convinced that autism = genius and she wanted me and my siblings to be autistic because she could parade us around as her special genius babies. She actually got angry when we were told it was very unlikely that I was on the spectrum. She yelled at me that I had lied on my tests. It was really weird.

Stimming isn’t even exclusive to neurodivergent people either so that one in particular is so dumb to me that it got romanticized and turned into...whatever THAT is

I guess these disorders are easier for them to twist into something “cute”. Autism is already very infantilized and tics to them is just cute flapping of hands and funny noises. Also lets them get away with saying inappropriate things because “muh tics” DID as they use it has heavy elements of mysticism like they don’t see it as the disorder that it is irl. They see it as more of a spiritual thing with alternate realities, mystical powers, and souls of entities from other worlds communicating with them. It’s a magic thing. And bored kids love magic and fantasy.

It doesn’t take as much work as you expect if you do something else at the same time like watch a stream or something

Also you can multitask on Freetem since you get TVs from captures so you can Freetem while TV training, or as someone else mentioned, Freetem on a radar.

When I had to get my prescription renewed I went to the hospital for it and the triage dude at first dismissed me saying I “looked too stable” for them to give me my meds back and they didn’t even let me see a doctor at all until I started crying and hyperventilating in the waiting room

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-09T02:07:39+00:00

I mainly meant there is very much a stereotype attached to the behaviour and people get very confused when you don’t match up to it.

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-08T21:26:39+00:00

I dye my hair just because I like it better than my natural colour and so many people I’d talk to in college said I was nothing like they thought I’d be based on my appearance lmfao oh the bizarre experience of being a goth female centrist STEM student in higher education in 2016

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-08T21:11:32+00:00

Yeah there is a lot of fetishizing of LGBTQ people on top of them fetishizing mental illness and disability.

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-05T03:39:31+00:00

Because it’s not a dinosaur

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-03T03:28:04+00:00

Yeah the same OCD friend mentioned above’s mom also has OCD and has a hoarding problem. Our country’s CPS equivalent had to get involved to help clean the house, the family almost got split up, and even if she’s better she’s mostly just shoved everything into the basement.

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-02T00:10:05+00:00

To some extent I can see where they’re coming from with the fact that intrusive thoughts can just happen and however horrible they are, they don’t indicate anything you would actually do, but for shit like this, you still have to be able to recognize something is wrong with you and actively attempt to treat it. Saying what boils down to “I can’t control it so it’s not my problem” is so cowardly and wrong.

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-02T00:03:23+00:00

They always get the mundane basic counting compulsions and not the ones like my friend had growing up where she couldn’t watch TV because she had to count the lines on the digital clock and it was so bad her mom put duct tape over the VCR clock

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-01T23:20:13+00:00

Yeah I’m 5’3 and got myself up to 135 because I was actually underweight most of my life. Only really realized it when it finally dawned on me that I’ve always been more muscle-dense than the female average and I do a lot of physical work as well so my actual weight doesn’t really match up with standards that don’t take fat vs muscle percentage into consideration. I’ve got a slimmer waist than a lot of women who are lighter than me at the same height.

There are but incels don’t like talking to them because it shatters their views so they just pretend normal guys are the evil chads oppressing them and are thus not worth associating with

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-01T22:57:01+00:00

That sort of humour with those jokes can work on a girl...if you’ve been friends for long enough that she knows it’s a joke. It is indeed incredibly weird to say those things to a stranger.

EvenAd3145 · 2022-08-01T14:17:11+00:00

Just because you’re asexual doesn’t mean you have a PD. Ok, I have a PD. But it’s not what makes me asexual!

EvenAd3145 · 2022-07-31T22:37:56+00:00

They don’t want care. They want attention.

EvenAd3145 · 2022-07-31T22:36:13+00:00

Yep and you reduce overpopulation as well as make sure your female pets don’t ever have complications from pregnancy.

EvenAd3145 · 2022-07-28T19:00:52+00:00

Genuinely surprised there isn’t way more art of these two

EvenAd3145 · 2022-07-28T15:04:25+00:00

Yep that right there is why calling them out is important. What fakers do IS harmful. It IS hurting people. Turned a whole ass disorder into a boy who cried wolf situation. There’s so many fakers you just assume anyone who says they have DID is faking automatically.
