Topic | Normalizing anxiety, awkwardness, and general anti-social behavior is wrong. |
Corrupt_Power 05/11/18 1:40:32 PM #6: | Normalization is the best term I can come up with to describe what's happening here, but it isn't perfect and I can't think of what else to call it. It's almost like it's the new smoking - you're part of a special in-crowd if you do it, and everyone who's part of that group are weirdly proud of it. It isn't something to be proud of. It is a defect on some level, and needs to be addressed so these people can live more fulfilling lives. Again, I can't stress enough that I harbor zero ill will to people who genuinely have anxiety issues, as like I said, I deal with it myself. But... I want to say normalizing it, but I've already gone over that I dislike that term here... popularizing it, I guess, both undermines the seriousness of it, and undermines the idea that it can be addressed. tremain07 posted... He's basically saying the weak die the strong survive, fuck the non-normies Bro, I've been on Prozac for probably going on 10 years now, Adderall for a little over a year (although my new insurance is a piece of shit and has been fighting me since I was forced to switch, so I've been basically forced off of it for several months now), had a stint in a psych ward when I was in high school, and am plagued by a whole host of aggressively unwanted and intrusive thoughts, every single day. So you can fuck off with that shit. --- On Android? Check out GameRaven: http://tinyurl.com/GameRaven http://i.imgur.com/ZAEZQUQ.png -mcpwnia ... Copied to Clipboard! |
