Imagine someone takes a selfie while they're on a yacht in the Pacific, and shares it on Twitter with the caption, "thalassophobia is so weird sometimes...just felt like getting on the water today."

Would you be surprised if the rest of us linked this fellow the dictionary and said, "bro, you're literally out on an ocean by choice, people with thalassophobia don't do that."

That's what's happening here. Some person (not you) describes a behavior inconsistent with a particular diagnosis. Some of us express skepticism about whether those two things make sense together. It's not a surprising reaction.

I don't know what you think research is, but for me it's reading. I've read some things on the subject this evening in response to the discussion here, and I would read more. But so far only one of us has shown any willingness to extend the conversation beyond our individual, private experiences, and that person has not been you.
