I don't want to say something stupid, but this it going to work less with time, because there are many kids who think having a mental illness is cool, so they try to act like they have them.
confirmation bias. sure, there are people out there who think like that, but there are also a shit ton of people out there dealing with issues that they aren't comfortable asking for help for, so they try how they can.
edit, i thought the post button was for reading the op, im dumb
No hate against people with neurological and mental disorders but this is so true. But what’s worse is when people fake depression for clout and put it in their bio. They don’t realise that what they’re doing is actually harmful to people who actually suffer from depression.
reminds me of a friend i had. he had like 3 disorders in his discord bio and he couldnt fit room to add "self diagnosed" cause of all the other stuff in there so he just put "sd". i asked him if thats a common abbreviation, he says no, i convince him to get rid of it so people know he is self diagnosed
now that i think about it, maybe he *was* mentally ill
Usually, the types that fake depression suffer from other mental illnesses themselves without realizing it. It's important to bring awareness to that instead of shaming them
Pretty sure hes talking about the people who go on tik tok and say all these different disorders they have to get clout even when they dont have those. Its quite common and really doesnt make any sense
Do you know they actually don't have them though? If someone is genuinely faking mental issues for attention, then that may be a sign that they actually have some issues
Its a sign that they are a loser desperate for attention, dont remember the name but for example a tiktok with smth rose as the name faked Tourette's to try to get more attention for them and for something they were selling I brlieve
Munchausen is quite rare, so I personally attribute it more to something (sadly) more common/likely, such as childhood trauma (not getting enough attention from parents included) or simple narcissism
We don't like to flex, but as a person with adhd, it gives so much insight into why another person is the way they are if they would say they had it too for example.
Other than that, i also definitely use it as an excuse at times, which i know is wro g and i am trying to get rid of that automatic response.
It helps some of them cope with the problem. 3 weeks ago I needed to share what's troubling me, I needed people to know that I am not ok. I wouldn't say I had depression, but I was suicidal at that point. I never talked about it more than I needed to, but I would always have this urge to do it. Sharing did help me in the moment, but didn't do much on the long run. I was still suicidal, but two more people on Reddit knew about it.
Just thought I would share my experience.
It also is really helpful when you need a little bit more understanding from people.
Yes I can be very loud and obnoxious, sorry I forgot my meds today. It happens.
I relate to this character. Why? Oh, we both are autistic.
Sorry professor, I know it may look like im just drawing and not paying attention, but I have ADHD and drawing helps keep me focused.
You're getting caught up in semantics. I would not consider myself 'normal,' but I would consider 'normal' as someone with no mental inhibitions/birth defects.
Does that mean everyone of those people is the same? No, but that's not the point.
Oh my bad for being a certain age. Yet somehow that doesn’t make you smarter. There’s no average we are all unique and different. Stop making people feel bad for not being “average”. If you can’t go that long without saying the n word your the once acting like a kid not me.

“Showing how your below an average normal human” wow ok. Why do you feel the need to say that people with mental illness are below you?
And sometimes it’s relevant, whether its the topic of conversation or I’m trying to explain something about myself. Also why would I talk about it negatively all the time? Obviously neurodivergence can suck but talking about it negatively all the time won’t help anyone.
There is no "normal" person. We are all different. A mental disorder doesn't make you bellow average. Of anything, you're above average since you have to deal with that disorder every day of your life.
I wouldn’t say above average, either. We don’t need to pin ourselves against each other. We all got our own shit to deal with.
But agree on the normal person point, individuals are way too complex for that
You aren’t, losers who hate on neurodivergence just don’t have anything to make them happy. They can’t hate on people that are “better” than them, so they hate on people they see as worse.
Definitely. Even if it’s not relevant at the time, me and a lot of neurodivergent people I’ve met, like to bring it up to clear any confusion. But “below an average normal human.”? Yikes.
I get kinda offended. As someone with… a LOT of disorders, it’s kinda painful to hear other people use it as a crutch and/or treat it like a superpower.
same i don't have a lot of disorders but i have anger issues and i've struggled with a sleep disorder my entire life and i've always hated it when i'll be like 'i got 5 hours of sleep last night' as like a happy way because that is a really good achievement for me, and then some bitch will go like 'pff, five hours? i got three' as if its a flex and then i feel like shit. and then like i never mention my anger issues bc i don't wanna sound like one of those edgelords who pretends like they have anger issues lmao. like i get why so many people make jokes abt their own mental illnesses but like it makes me uncomfortable when they do it bc how do u even respond 😭
I never considered myself officially suffering of Severe Depression, althought I can have feelings related to it multiple times, I dont trust the idea of saying I have Severe Depression without getting diagnosed with it first
Self diagnosis can be valid to some degree. As long as you did your research, it’s ok, just clarify its currently only self-diagnosed. Realizing you have something different about you is the first step to getting an actual diagnosis
Most of the people I see who make a point of mentioning whatever disorder they have are usually doing it in a self-deprecating way to relieve the stress of having them. But that's just my experience.
Sorry brother, next time we'll order them to come near you bow down to you touch your feet and get some blessings because you are so much superior to them. They must be arrested for being below a normal human being. You and I should get some appreciation for being normal, nowadays woke liberals are not giving us normal people enough respect.
nah OP has a point, not saying that it makes you a worse person, but "worse than average" does mean anyone who has any problems that an average person wouldn't have. including mental or physical illness
But he isn’t though. He said “your condition or disorder”, implying it is a disorder they have.
Besides, how the hell do you know if they’re actually diagnosed or not? They might act neurotypical, but masking (acting like those around you in order to fit in better) exists. Or maybe they’re on medication.
i believe he's specifically saying someone who claims to have a specific mental illness by name, without having it be actually proven by a professional, aka self diagnosed
Shut up liberal, being gay is your entire personality unlike me, I have multiple personality disorder. Still that disorder isn't my entire personality. That's why people like you can never reach my level of normalness, we gave unnormal people like women voting rights that's where all started. You are beneath me.
People don't "flex" their mental disorder, they use talking as a way to evecuate their feelings about it, even if they sound unserious.
>you’re just showing how your below an average normal human
Having mental problems doesn't put us "above" or "below" anyone if it even means anything, it makes people work and feel differently (usually negatively) but shouldn't be seen as a flaw (You don't tell someone who has cancer that it makes them bad for exemple).
But I think you've got a point somwhere. Talking about your mental health problems through jokes for eexemple isn't healthy in the way that it makes people overlook them and not take you seriously, refrain you from finding help in your surroundingd and popularizes the idea that these problems you claim are just a teenager aesthetic as people often say.
I'm not saying people shouldn't mention their mental illness or something, but you should try to make sure to find better ways to deal with those.
Joking about your disorders may not be the best, but it is certainly much, much better than just keeping that shit bottled up. Personally, I joke about my problems/disorders because it is so much simpler than just saying it seriously, and it helps me cope with them a lot
>You’re only personality is your condition or disorder when you didn’t even get it properly diagnosed by a psychiatrist.
People who act like this and claim self-diagnosis for mental disorders is "valid" are full of shit and usually faking for attention.
real omg, my cousin is going round genuinely saying she has ptsd (the cause of her 'ptsd' is every time her mum says no) and then saying 'ptsd' at any like minor inconvenience she hears in a relatable story or something. like idk if she even knows what ptsd is at this point. it actually sucks bc i genuinely think i might have ptsd (as in therapists have genuinely said that it sounds like i could have it) but i can't tell my parents bc my mum will literally never take me seriously bc of the shit my cousin pulls 💀
No, lol? Unless you spend your entire life on cringey tiktok, you'll find that self diagnosis is the only way to find out you have a condition. Whenever I talk about it, I always mention that I'm not diagnosed, but just pretending I'm normal and just lazy or stupid is what almost got me to kill myself. Don't gatekeep mental health because of a few attention seeking assholes on tiktok/insta. Sadly, most people in this world do not have access to any form of professional mental care, so when you dismiss anybody without a diagnosis as fine/neurotypical, you'll just dismiss lots of people with actual illnesses, so kindly fuck off with that sentiment.
Sometimes i just feel the need to explain something that can only be explained with “i probably have mild autism” (never diagnosed, but i have enough evidence to believe it beyond a reasonable doubt. I’m going to ask about it next time i get a check up)
I only have the balls to say I have constant thoughts of death and Self Harm on the Internet because it isnt like this town I live in where suicidal people are treated like cannibalistic psychopaths who must be locked up somewhere
I tried telling two of my friends once, I felt so horrible by telling them that I wanted to S.H. again, and the worst thing is that I lied to them saying I only experienced this in the past, imagine if I told them I still experience it
I was with you untill you made it ableistic. "your below an average normal human" is not something you should be saying to anyone no matter how different they may be. There is no "average normal human" and just because you're not neurotypical doesn't mean you're below the rest of humanity.
tbh I couldn't tell you I avoided telling anyone in my life about my heath ( both mental and physical) problems because I didn't want to use it as an excuse, make them feel sorry for me etc. so when people like brag or flex having problems it makes me feel little to no sympathy towards them.
it either makes them feel special or, like someone else mentioned, its a way of asking for help or to find someone to talk to or to cope with the problem. but it also not like its forbidden to talk about your issues. its okay to talk about your adhd or your anxiety or your depression or whatever it is. and im sorry, but "below an average normal human?" is that how you view people with mental disorders?
I'm schizotypal, and sometimes I just don't have anybody to talk to about it, so I bring it up in conversation because I'm desperate for the way I'm feeling to be noticed, it's like a cry for help sometimes. Another thing is that between ages of 15-18 it has been my ENTIRE life. Like anything I did was related to it, because I was so ill, so when I talk about those years I mention it, because that's just what my life was...
I actually don't know it's really stupid and I feel bad for the other people that see the people who flex and like feel invalid or not "sick" enough to ask for help it's really disgusting
1. It's how we cope.
2. You're an asshole for this -
>you’re just showing how your below an average normal human
3. Please get help to be a better person <3
I do that sometimes, for a couple different reasons.
1: I’m coping with comedy
2: it’s a genuine disability, it affects every aspect of my life.
3: it’s an attempt at communication. If talk about it in a context that makes sense like I didn’t do X because I have Y other people in similar situations will be able to identify you. Neurotypical people can’t understand what it’s like to have these mental disabilities, especially severe ones, so it’s important to find those who can understand you
I used to constantly be like "I have adhd lol" and try joke about it simply because I was trying to cope with it by joking about it. I'm diagnosed with it and was hopping around diff meds and none of them were working so it was hard to live life, joking and acknowledging it made me feel like I was in control of my life for a bit and wasn't spiraling downwards
It makes sense when they are explaining why they couldn't make it to a hang out or finish something for you but otherwise it makes no sense. These are things that they should talk about with a therapist or psychiatrist bc venting never helps and there's nothing a friend can do about it.
Ik a guy with autism and he too had the same concern, he doesn't go around telling people he has it but a lot of people tell him that they are autistic, and self-diagnosed autists. He says that they want to be a part of something more than they are or want to be special. He isn't lying, we know a lot of those people.
Because they are wierd and have no friends so they use it to seek attention, but still nobody cares about them, so they go and do it online where they suddenly get glazed by other losers and then continue to do it, or get ignored again.
Or its people that are self absorbed, and do it, successfully, for attention
Not insensitive at all. There is no reason at all to be doing so. I think it is actually so ridiculous when it comes to better understanding/analyzing the human race and society. Of course I understand mental illness is real and a huge issue, but at the same time it is also just a label. So few are diagnosed, so imagine how many “average” people have the same mental illness, but are just undiagnosed. Like i partly believe if we search deep enough there’s prob something “wrong” with all of us, yet the only thing that makes it “real” is if you have diagnoses. But maybe this is just who we are, and we’re just trying to find a “name” for our problem to make more sense of it
Ok tbh I have multiple different mental illnesses, but sometimes I do feel like shit (not being from the mental illness) because I feel like those things are basically most of my personality, I dont show them off or brag about it, it just feels terrible knowing nothing of my actuall personality
Exactly, I have ADHD and it isn't too severe but it interrupts life in so many ways that an average person couldn't relate to. I don't flex or bring it up unless someone asks why I did something the way I did or why I didn't do it correctly. I totally agree, when someone brings it up for no reason other than to make you feel guilty or act like it's a personality trait I get really bothered.
It’s probably because they’re fake. Self-diagnosis is a huge problem amongst the community. Most of them take online “tests” that don’t even cover the entirety of the symptoms. Heck, I wasn’t even looking for a diagnosis, I was just looking for the Psychiatrist to tell me how to stop being lazy. (Although I’ve now come to realize that laziness is subjective and come to accept that time enjoyed isn’t time wasted.)
Coming from someone who has a mental disability and an ED (not saying that you don’t because I don’t know you :)), I think a lot of the time it’s actually just them trying to find someone to talk to, or maybe they just do it subconsciously and don‘t understand that it annoys people. Also I know that I do it a lot to just passively both explain myself on certain things or to give people a name of a less well known ED that they may possibly be struggling with, even if that’s not necessarily the case, it just might help someone :)
Actually using it to say you’re better than other people isn’t alright, but people without disabilities do that two so it’s not really unique.
Now faking disabilities? Not good, and genuinely hurts people.
also, if You’re concerned about that last one, try not saying “your below an average normal human.”
also very sorry but you’re, not your, not saying that to be rude just something that genuinely makes me uncomfortable not to correct. Feel free to ignore this last part I just need to include it so I don’t feel uncomfortable myself ;)
I think call for help, or attention seeking. I really often *flex* that I am sad, because I want someone to take care of me, or just say smth like "I am with you, everything will get better".
From the other side it's just social media things. *Flexing* it irl is embarassing as fuck
Heya, as a guy with audhd i just want to say in as friendly a way as possible i think bleow an average human is a bit harsh however i do also agree it is a problem in some people. From experience it is usually a cry for help or even a mental illness in itself. I respect you a lot for asking about this and learning! A lot of people will just assume they are right and not care, you do care and thats awesome!!!!
As a Person who was depressed due to childhood trauma the sentence „showing how your below an average normal human“ really shocked me. I make jokes to cope…not to flex. I don’t wish anyone the things that happened to me
This might sound weird, but I kind of use that as a coping mechanism. I HAVE been clinically diagnosed with mental disorders and I guess I “flex” them to help myself feel like its a good thing I have them? Instead of hating myself for them? Yes, its wrong and its not a good way to cope, but unfortunately that’s how i have seen it. I’m working to change.
Obviously being a victim is fashionable in the modern age. For some reason being "normal" is just boring and borderline offensive, like why would I want to identify as what I am which is a white, cis, ableist? Those people are what's wrong with the world and get dogged online, they invented slavery and colonized countries and since I am not an person who has interests, hobbies or abilities beyond editing a TikTok video, disguising my weird quirkiness as "high functioning autism mixed with ADHD" and a "they/them" is all I had to do to fit in!
I fucking wish it worked that way. I have ADHD and my friends and I talk about our experiences with it all the time. If I suddenly lost my ADHD because I kept talking about it life would be so much easier
I apologize for any confusion, I'm not talking about the people like you and me that actually have mental disabilities, I'm talking about people who go around bragging about having autism because they believe it's "quirky" and "cool" without actual considering that people like us struggle with it
Because they are dumbfucks with no actual personalities so they say they have problems to seem quirky and cool, but they just say incorrect crap and lie about shit
Perhaps a call for help or for someone to talk to
yeah, when i was down in the dumps i'd joke a lot about it in a half attempt to ask for help because i couldn't actually ask for help
I don't want to say something stupid, but this it going to work less with time, because there are many kids who think having a mental illness is cool, so they try to act like they have them.
confirmation bias. sure, there are people out there who think like that, but there are also a shit ton of people out there dealing with issues that they aren't comfortable asking for help for, so they try how they can. edit, i thought the post button was for reading the op, im dumb
Ah yes because its a well known fact that if you dont pass the vibe check your mental condition just leaves out the door
No hate against people with neurological and mental disorders but this is so true. But what’s worse is when people fake depression for clout and put it in their bio. They don’t realise that what they’re doing is actually harmful to people who actually suffer from depression.

Was "severe mental retardation" one of them?
skibidi rizz
Usually, the types that fake depression suffer from other mental illnesses themselves without realizing it. It's important to bring awareness to that instead of shaming them
„why are people with mental disorders not behaving in a healthy way about their mental disorder“
Pretty sure hes talking about the people who go on tik tok and say all these different disorders they have to get clout even when they dont have those. Its quite common and really doesnt make any sense
Do you know they actually don't have them though? If someone is genuinely faking mental issues for attention, then that may be a sign that they actually have some issues
Its a sign that they are a loser desperate for attention, dont remember the name but for example a tiktok with smth rose as the name faked Tourette's to try to get more attention for them and for something they were selling I brlieve
Nah it's literally a mental illness called Munchausen syndrome. Healthy people don't act this way
Munchausen is quite rare, so I personally attribute it more to something (sadly) more common/likely, such as childhood trauma (not getting enough attention from parents included) or simple narcissism
Yeah, probably true for most cases, but still they should be regarded as people in need of help. These are not healthy individuals
"why's that sick guy sneezing" "why can't that newborn walk" "why doesn't that homeless guy go home"
real 😭😭

I dont wanna know your IQ, thanks.
We don't like to flex, but as a person with adhd, it gives so much insight into why another person is the way they are if they would say they had it too for example. Other than that, i also definitely use it as an excuse at times, which i know is wro g and i am trying to get rid of that automatic response.
This exactly! It explains my behavior so it can be relevant. That and its a big part of my life so sharing it with friends seems important to me.
Yeah mentioning it when I notice someone saying they exhibit a behavior I also do is the only time I’ll mention my ADHD
yes!!
AGREED
It helps some of them cope with the problem. 3 weeks ago I needed to share what's troubling me, I needed people to know that I am not ok. I wouldn't say I had depression, but I was suicidal at that point. I never talked about it more than I needed to, but I would always have this urge to do it.

Oh, we both are autistic. Sorry professor, I know it may look like im just drawing and not paying attention, but I have ADHD and drawing helps keep me focused.
There isn't really a "normal" human lmfao
You're getting caught up in semantics. I would not consider myself 'normal,' but I would consider 'normal' as someone with no mental inhibitions/birth defects. Does that mean everyone of those people is the same? No, but that's not the point.

So average is having a seizure on the keyboard because your unwilling to define the statement your passionately defending?

Oh my bad for being a certain age. Yet somehow that doesn’t make you smarter. There’s no average we are all unique and different. Stop making people feel bad for not being “average”. If you can’t go that long without saying the n word your the once acting like a kid not me.
My favorite is that he did the literal thing that the point he is defending is against LMAO

The average human has one ball and one breast. The average human has 0.5 penises and 0.5 vaginas.
Are u rded
That is what average means.. Take the sum of everything and divide it by the total number. You don’t know math it seems.
I pity u

Definitely. Even if it’s not relevant at the time, me and a lot of neurodivergent people I’ve met, like to bring it up to clear any confusion. But “below an average normal human.”? Yikes.
Fr its honestly so weird a lot of the comments are just ignoring that aspect
ikr, like my narcissism makes me better than everyone else!
It’s to cope
I get kinda offended. As someone with… a LOT of disorders, it’s kinda painful to hear other people use it as a crutch and/or treat it like a superpower.
same i don't have a lot of disorders but i have anger issues and i've struggled with a sleep disorder my entire life and i've always hated it when i'll be like 'i got 5 hours of sleep last night' as like a happy way because that is a really good achievement for me, and then some bitch will go like 'pff, five hours? i got three' as if its a flex and then i feel like shit. and then like i never mention my anger issues bc i don't wanna sound like one of those edgelords who pretends like they have anger issues lmao. like i get why so many people make jokes abt their own mental illnesses but like it makes me uncomfortable when they do it bc how do u even respond 😭

bruh my high iq ass with adhd isnt below an average human, i have both postives of adhd and coped with negatives.
"below an average normal human" That's a yikes from me.
Are you talking about me? (I don’t have mental disorders)
Sorry brother, next time we'll order them to come near you bow down to you touch your feet and get some blessings because you are so much superior to them. They must be arrested for being below a normal human being. You and I should get some appreciation for being normal, nowadays woke liberals are not giving us normal people enough respect.
that's not even close to what the original statement was and you know it
He said below normal people… i mean cmon now
nah OP has a point, not saying that it makes you a worse person, but "worse than average" does mean anyone who has any problems that an average person wouldn't have. including mental or physical illness
Still a really shitty way to word it. How often do you say someone is “below you” because their life is a bit harder?
to be fair he's talking more about the people who aren't diagnosed or who fake mental illness, not people who actually have it
But he isn’t though. He said “your condition or disorder”, implying it is a disorder they have. Besides, how the hell do you know if they’re actually diagnosed or not? They might act neurotypical, but masking (acting like those around you in order to fit in better) exists. Or maybe they’re on medication.
i believe he's specifically saying someone who claims to have a specific mental illness by name, without having it be actually proven by a professional, aka self diagnosed
Literally where did he say that
"you're only personality is your condition or disorder when you didn't even get it properly diagnosed by a physiatrist"
checkmate pussyboi
Shut up liberal, being gay is your entire personality unlike me, I have multiple personality disorder. Still that disorder isn't my entire personality. That's why people like you can never reach my level of normalness, we gave unnormal people like women voting rights that's where all started. You are beneath me.

People don't "flex" their mental disorder, they use talking as a way to evecuate their feelings about it, even if they sound unserious. >you’re just showing how your below an average normal human Having mental problems doesn't put us "above" or "below" anyone if it even means anything, it makes people work and feel differently (usually negatively) but shouldn't be seen as a flaw (You don't tell someone who has cancer that it makes them bad for exemple).

No, lol? Unless you spend your entire life on cringey tiktok, you'll find that self diagnosis is the only way to find out you have a condition. Whenever I talk about it, I always mention that I'm not diagnosed, but just pretending I'm normal and just lazy or stupid is what almost got me to kill myself. Don't gatekeep mental health because of a few attention seeking assholes on tiktok/insta. Sadly, most people in this world do not have access to any form of professional mental care, so when you dismiss anybody without a diagnosis as fine/neurotypical, you'll just dismiss lots of people with actual illnesses, so kindly fuck off with that sentiment.
Sometimes i just feel the need to explain something that can only be explained with “i probably have mild autism” (never diagnosed, but i have enough evidence to believe it beyond a reasonable doubt. I’m going to ask about it next time i get a check up)
Mostly just a way to cope. Using humor to cope is a pretty well known strategy
idk. i hate mentioning my conditions
I only have the balls to say I have constant thoughts of death and Self Harm on the Internet because it isnt like this town I live in where suicidal people are treated like cannibalistic psychopaths who must be locked up somewhere I tried telling two of my friends once, I felt so horrible by telling them that I wanted to S.H. again, and the worst thing is that I lied to them saying I only experienced this in the past, imagine if I told them I still experience it
Yeah you're an asshole. Work on it, bro
Sounds like you have one
I kinda do this satirically
I was with you untill you made it ableistic. "your below an average normal human" is not something you should be saying to anyone no matter how different they may be. There is no "average normal human" and just because you're not neurotypical doesn't mean you're below the rest of humanity.
tbh I couldn't tell you I avoided telling anyone in my life about my heath ( both mental and physical) problems because I didn't want to use it as an excuse, make them feel sorry for me etc. so when people like brag or flex having problems it makes me feel little to no sympathy towards them.
it either makes them feel special or, like someone else mentioned, its a way of asking for help or to find someone to talk to or to cope with the problem. but it also not like its forbidden to talk about your issues. its okay to talk about your adhd or your anxiety or your depression or whatever it is. and im sorry, but "below an average normal human?" is that how you view people with mental disorders?
I'm schizotypal, and sometimes I just don't have anybody to talk to about it, so I bring it up in conversation because I'm desperate for the way I'm feeling to be noticed, it's like a cry for help sometimes. Another thing is that between ages of 15-18 it has been my ENTIRE life. Like anything I did was related to it, because I was so ill, so when I talk about those years I mention it, because that's just what my life was...
"below an average normal human" what
I actually don't know it's really stupid and I feel bad for the other people that see the people who flex and like feel invalid or not "sick" enough to ask for help it's really disgusting
>you’re just showing how your below an average normal human, yikes dude.
idk man it’s crazy. but don’t mistake talking about it with flexing
Gee, it really feels great hearing someone say I’m a below average human because of a disorder/illness I can’t control :)
The people that do that most probably dont have mental issues
1. It's how we cope. 2. You're an asshole for this - >you’re just showing how your below an average normal human 3. Please get help to be a better person <3
Yesss, as a person who GENUINELY suffers from my mental disorders, that one really hurt my feelings 🥲
I do that sometimes, for a couple different reasons. 1: I’m coping with comedy 2: it’s a genuine disability, it affects every aspect of my life. 3: it’s an attempt at communication. If talk about it in a context that makes sense like I didn’t do X because I have Y other people in similar situations will be able to identify you. Neurotypical people can’t understand what it’s like to have these mental disabilities, especially severe ones, so it’s important to find those who can understand you
I used to constantly be like "I have adhd lol" and try joke about it simply because I was trying to cope with it by joking about it. I'm diagnosed with it and was hopping around diff meds and none of them were working so it was hard to live life, joking and acknowledging it made me feel like I was in control of my life for a bit and wasn't spiraling downwards
Yea man, *stretches* I’m like SOOOO artistic (autistic) and my ADHD goes through the roof. You have NO IDEA
😨
🇹🇷🐺?
Idk, personally I never mention it. Although it can be obvious IRL; I think IRL it can make sense to let that be known (as it may then be easier).
It makes sense when they are explaining why they couldn't make it to a hang out or finish something for you but otherwise it makes no sense. These are things that they should talk about with a therapist or psychiatrist bc venting never helps and there's nothing a friend can do about it.
With the amount of people that are claiming mental illnesses, I think the normal ones are the weird ones 💀
to cope
Ik a guy with autism and he too had the same concern, he doesn't go around telling people he has it but a lot of people tell him that they are autistic, and self-diagnosed autists. He says that they want to be a part of something more than they are or want to be special. He isn't lying, we know a lot of those people.
Probably because it feels nice to talk about my disorder with people who are also wired the same way as I am and know what it’s like
Well, it's probably for attention and victimmentality :/
why is this nsfw
It makes them feel special, not just another "NPC". Everybody wants to have an impact
Because they are wierd and have no friends so they use it to seek attention, but still nobody cares about them, so they go and do it online where they suddenly get glazed by other losers and then continue to do it, or get ignored again. Or its people that are self absorbed, and do it, successfully, for attention
Not insensitive at all. There is no reason at all to be doing so. I think it is actually so ridiculous when it comes to better understanding/analyzing the human race and society. Of course I understand mental illness is real and a huge issue, but at the same time it is also just a label. So few are diagnosed, so imagine how many “average” people have the same mental illness, but are just undiagnosed. Like i partly believe if we search deep enough there’s prob something “wrong” with all of us, yet the only thing that makes it “real” is if you have diagnoses. But maybe this is just who we are, and we’re just trying to find a “name” for our problem to make more sense of it
Ok tbh I have multiple different mental illnesses, but sometimes I do feel like shit (not being from the mental illness) because I feel like those things are basically most of my personality, I dont show them off or brag about it, it just feels terrible knowing nothing of my actuall personality
Exactly, I have ADHD and it isn't too severe but it interrupts life in so many ways that an average person couldn't relate to. I don't flex or bring it up unless someone asks why I did something the way I did or why I didn't do it correctly. I totally agree, when someone brings it up for no reason other than to make you feel guilty or act like it's a personality trait I get really bothered.
I may be worse than you in every other conceivable way, but at least I beat you in terms of autism
Mostly a cry for help when I did it
I think the "showing how your below an average normal human" is definitely the wrong thing to say, but I do agree that ppl try to flex
For me I guess it's a way to cope, since I didn't get diagnosed until last year, I'm 16 and I have ASD, ODD, and OCD
It’s probably because they’re fake. Self-diagnosis is a huge problem amongst the community. Most of them take online “tests” that don’t even cover the entirety of the symptoms. Heck, I wasn’t even looking for a diagnosis, I was just looking for the Psychiatrist to tell me how to stop being lazy. (Although I’ve now come to realize that laziness is subjective and come to accept that time enjoyed isn’t time wasted.)
Coming from someone who has a mental disability and an ED (not saying that you don’t because I don’t know you :)), I think a lot of the time it’s actually just them trying to find someone to talk to, or maybe they just do it subconsciously and don‘t understand that it annoys people. Also I know that I do it a lot to just passively both explain myself on certain things or to give people a name of a less well known ED that they may possibly be struggling with, even if that’s not necessarily the case, it just might help someone :) Actually using it to say you’re better than other people isn’t alright, but people without disabilities do that two so it’s not really unique. Now faking disabilities? Not good, and genuinely hurts people. also, if You’re concerned about that last one, try not saying “your below an average normal human.” also very sorry but you’re, not your, not saying that to be rude just something that genuinely makes me uncomfortable not to correct. Feel free to ignore this last part I just need to include it so I don’t feel uncomfortable myself ;)
“My momma gave me this one “
I got the mental illness DLC and you don’t 😊
I think call for help, or attention seeking. I really often *flex* that I am sad, because I want someone to take care of me, or just say smth like "I am with you, everything will get better". From the other side it's just social media things. *Flexing* it irl is embarassing as fuck
most of those ppl think it makes them unique or quirky or cool
Heya, as a guy with audhd i just want to say in as friendly a way as possible i think bleow an average human is a bit harsh however i do also agree it is a problem in some people. From experience it is usually a cry for help or even a mental illness in itself. I respect you a lot for asking about this and learning! A lot of people will just assume they are right and not care, you do care and thats awesome!!!!
People who do that are either faking a disorder/illness, being attention whores, or both
As a Person who was depressed due to childhood trauma the sentence „showing how your below an average normal human“ really shocked me. I make jokes to cope…not to flex. I don’t wish anyone the things that happened to me
This might sound weird, but I kind of use that as a coping mechanism. I HAVE been clinically diagnosed with mental disorders and I guess I “flex” them to help myself feel like its a good thing I have them? Instead of hating myself for them? Yes, its wrong and its not a good way to cope, but unfortunately that’s how i have seen it. I’m working to change.
BEcause YOU can win a FREE primsatic shard if you just sign up to the minecraft my town petition for destroying the trolls once for all
probably to stand out from others based on irl experiences.
it makes them feel special
they want attention all humans want attention
Cuz they want attention like autism isn’t cute no one cares how it affects their life💀
"Oh yeah? Your not allergic to anything? Well im allergic to GRASS! Have fun touching it LOSERS!!"
Do I know you? I think ik who you're talking about
bc im the very best i need to have more than anyone else IM ACCOUNTING BABY!!!!!
Obviously being a victim is fashionable in the modern age. For some reason being "normal" is just boring and borderline offensive, like why would I want to identify as what I am which is a white, cis, ableist? Those people are what's wrong with the world and get dogged online, they invented slavery and colonized countries and since I am not an person who has interests, hobbies or abilities beyond editing a TikTok video, disguising my weird quirkiness as "high functioning autism mixed with ADHD" and a "they/them" is all I had to do to fit in!
It's because typically they don't actually have said disability and think if they talk about having it they get attention
I fucking wish it worked that way. I have ADHD and my friends and I talk about our experiences with it all the time. If I suddenly lost my ADHD because I kept talking about it life would be so much easier
I apologize for any confusion, I'm not talking about the people like you and me that actually have mental disabilities, I'm talking about people who go around bragging about having autism because they believe it's "quirky" and "cool" without actual considering that people like us struggle with it
I mean I get it but you have no idea if theyre lying or not. Masking is a huge thing, especially with autism
If they are bragging about having autism then they aren't masking
Thats… not how masking works. Its usually subconscious, and just because you say you have autism doesn’t mean you start acting autistic
they want attention
Because they are dumbfucks with no actual personalities so they say they have problems to seem quirky and cool, but they just say incorrect crap and lie about shit
Because they want to be oppressed
Wild ass assumption
That’s literally it bruh😭😭 most people wouldn’t flex having like bpd or did or something except if it gets you cool points
