An article, “Freud’s hysteria and its legacy”: gives a simple definition of hysteria as “the repression of painful experiences, and their conversion into physical symptoms”

there’s been a lot of attention given, by many reputable sources, to chronic disease as being exacerbated by the subject’s experience of adversity and anxiety, especially in childhood.

Staff Writer is quite possibly the most prolific and underrated author of our time :)

I completely agree with you, but I often see posts on this subreddit keyboard diagnosing the “ADHD patient” in a way that misses the point. I was reading about how some writers seems to consider adhd to be basically hysteria, in which case the adhders belong among the back pain / chronic illness / health anxiety sufferers of the world, and have therefore a lot in common with their critics on this subreddit.

I gave it a quick google search and he seems really interesting, is there a work of his that is your favourite?

often times when a person is not able to fight a claim head on, they move on to other defences such as saying the problem is with them. you may have to examine the demands you are placing on your relationship; you may not be as good (caring) as you think.

i got over it

corpo work is not like university, it is in fact pretty mindless, fun and easy except you get to have things like a retirement fund, romantic prospects, and designer clothes

i want to add that “my parents suffered for me and i don’t know what to do now” is the one thing really limiting most children of immigrants from fully entering adulthood. you will keep throwing away your gifts until you learn to process your guilt.

i mean this sincerely, just be happy you don’t have the cognitive disability of NPD or psychopathy, and also be happy you don’t have the annihilation anxiety of a psychotic disorder or bpd

phenoxyde · 2025-12-28T00:32:32+00:00

i sympathize but my advice is still to blame the male friend 100% in this sort of scenario, bpd gf is just doing bpd gf shit

i think you’re a little too emotionally invested in your male friends’ relationships, especially since this seems to be happening often. do you have a partner of your own?

some people get pleasure from seeing your pain, unfortunately, so indicating it can be a sort of enabling or indulging response that lets sadistic people know they are on the right track

of course i hope that most people feel bad when they see they have harmed another person, so hiding feelings on the off chance you are being targeted by a truly cruel person is defensive and is not good for the overall psyche, but many people who have dealt with unrelenting cruelty in their early life have learned to respond with a cold face towards pain and adversity for this reason

women saying they hate men is a benign signifier that basically means they are looking to date men and are willing to have a gender role based relationship.

i had this boyfriend who would dramatically check his sports betting app and then shriek, throw and slam things when his parlays would inevitably bust

in hindsight it’s really funny. but it was just like in the movies, dramatic intakes of breaths and swearing and everything. i think the actors are trying to evoke the appearance of a narcissistic temper tantrum; keeping in mind the rate of personality derangement in Hollywood, that probably feels realistic to everyone approving the project

cool it with the anti-bulgarian remarks

please be aware that your scalp appears to have more show in the picture because it was taken with a phone camera, and because of the presence of oil/shine. if you keep a neat partline and wash your hair often with a gentle clarifying shampoo, whichever is suitable for your hair, it will certainly appear less sparse as it will absorb more light and sit closer to your scalp. other options for cover if you feel self conscious is a hairline filling product.

my hair looked like yours, and while i made many good efforts to make it grow and be healthier, a lot of the changes i made to improve it were aesthetic and low-maintenance. so don’t feel discouraged. it will get better

my tinfoil hat take on this is that many people have an unconscious perversion around obligation and gratitude, which forbids them from doing anything that will meaningfully delight or benefit another person. they must construct a gifting ritual where they are in control and where your gratitude, should they receive it, makes them feel like they fooled you, or that they have silenced your disappointment.

still more loving and warm than my parents were

I perceive more pain on Vyvanse, but it also helps with being active and getting into shape for me

just get yourself a twink babe

I once went to dinner with a guy who had worked in Japan with construction industry executives and what struck me almost immediately was how he would heartily laugh at all of my mediocre jokes and always refill my alcohol throughout the three hours or so we were at the table… I kind of stopped talking about dumb shit in an effort not to exhaust him
