Why so judgeMENTAL?
why judge someone's behaviour as being a mental health issue? Based on assumptions alone.
Why is it normal for some people, to act crazy when it suits you? But it's a mental health problem when it doesn't suit you.
Just look at the internet. It's every where. It's self expression.
Celebs, athletes all do it
But when people don't like it all of a sudden it's their mental health
Can anyone help me understand this?
Btw I'm not speaking about myself
I've got actual problems but I'm not trying to take away from anyone else's
@imaginativePear6493 My opinion is celebs and athletes surround themselves with supportive people, otherwise they would never have gotten their success in the first place. Those of us who suffer a lot tend to have patronizing self centered people around us.
@tidyPlum2296 in some cases it's the people who surround them, supporting them at first that can be the most judgemental.
At first they see it as no problem when it's directed outward but when it doesn't suit them it's a problem and a mental health issue.
@imaginativePear6493
I may not have understood correctly what you have written, but there seems to be a culture in many places of being the victim and people pretend to have mental health issues. This minimizes the real issues people have.
@determinedShip1191
Example. Someone acts a certain way like loud, you know full of energy says or does stuff that could be offensive to some, which happens a lot and no one arround them really cares for a long time. But as soon as it looks bad for them it's a mental health issue.
It's stigmatising people I think
I'm not saying it's not a possibility but it's only when it's a problem for them or makes them look bad it's a health thing. Regardless of the outside people who may have got their feelings hurt along the way.
If you have an opinion pls share I'm trying to learn what other people who have dealt with anxiety, social anxiety or mental health in general think.
@imaginativePear6493
I think I understand, some people have words, sounds, smells or situations that can trigger an anxiety or other mental health issue. For instance in the past someone may have seen something terrible in the past and associate a sound or smell with that and get ptsd or anxiety.
Or perhaps with political correctness people hear something and have a reaction to it and label their reaction a mental illness/health issue?
@imaginativePear6493
Because most of it is fed by self ego and attention seeking to me. Granted people can be mentally ill and genuinely react in not pleasent ways at times but others use mental health as an excuse to be that way to others as a - do what I want and get away with it badge. I suppose its all down to human nature and getting others to look at them for drama and attention, good or bad because they are reaching out and dont know how to do it in a more positive way through life conditioning.
Just my take on it all. Ego also has a huge part in this to tell others to look at them so they are constantly in the limelight, that alone becomes toxic to others over time.
@An1mal
Hey thanks animal
Honestly I just wanted to bring to attention something I think important and see what people think.
Stigma is real and for people who are vulnerable it can be a trigger.
If we can help each other be better, healthier people it's a good thing
@imaginativePear6493
Absolutely for that but depends if people see it that way
