I try SO hard, to please people.
Unfortunately.
How can I say this?
FUCK people!
I despise apathy. However. I think it’s important that we NEVER let ANYONE define us.
I personally believe that pretty much ALL people display “symptoms” that fit into one “mental disorder/illness, or the other occasionally.
I used to work with a great woman who had a child who was diagnosed with asberger syndrome. As most great people afflicted by something negative, she had made it her business to learn about it and teach others.
She often spoke of traits considered that of someone with AS. Admittedly. I occasionally fit. Because she brought up, almost everything.
Doctors working with autistic people, have a “spectrum” now. Not a diagnosis. That’s how they identify autism.
Traits listed are “normal” or at least highly represented by most people.
Calling someone insane for instance, indicates an abnormality(ies.)
However. If a “perfectly adjusted” person is in reality the anomaly, then “sane,” is an exception.
And what is often mislabeled as otherwise, is actually more typical of our species than some care to admit.
It is my opinion that currently, there is an internal struggle in the mental health field about over, or misdiagnosis.
Either we’re ALL broken, or our perception is broken.
