What does this mean in practical terms?

Me too!

I was trying to be a little obtuse because I really didn't want to say his name publicly

Really?

Well, not quite...

I loved this book. I love Salinger. I named my son after this book. I always loved the name.

The story states Vietnamese.

Just awful. I feel so helpless when I read things like this.

I have no idea what "cry bullied" means. I don't think that's a word. But I'm quite certain that's not what I'm doing.

I've disagreed with you, and asked you nicely to please not contribute to the stigma of mental illness with a shallow interpretation of a Google search definition of a diagnosis.

But I already made my point. I have no intention of spending all night getting into a petty debate.

Stigma is harmful, and incorrect media portrayals contribute. What you call "dramatic" is part of that - mentally ill people aren't being "dramatic" - they're ill.

Here is an article about why stigma is harmful. Please take a minute to read it over. It would say a lot if you could step back and just agree that contributing to stigma in general is not a good thing.

Yes, by all means, swing to the most drastic interpretation of what I said. That's helpful.

This is why I'm weary. I even said please.

Obviously I read it or I wouldn't be calling you out.

People are allowed to disagree with you.

Psychological interpretations do not mean just slapping a quick Google armchair diagnosis on something and calling it good without further study into what the diagnosis really is.

And Freud is a quack, if we let every Freudian analysis stand, we'd still think every gun and stick was a representation of penis envy.

It's okay if people disagree with you. You don't have to personally attack me because I disagree with you.

But I am very protective of the stigma that is perpetuated by Internet interpretations of mental and physical illness, and you caught me on a day where I happen to be pretty fed up in particular.

So, please, pretty please with a cherry on top, please be aware of armchair diagnosing. That's all I ask.

I'm honestly just weary of armchair interpretations of serious and complex mental illnesses.

This is really harmful to people with mental illnesses and it adds to the stigma.

Sigh. The DID TikTok trend even infects the books sub. Please stop armchair diagnosing people.

It's a movie. About trans stuff.

What?

Very nearly had to have to this surgery due to severe epilepsy.

Great book

With or without snark?
