so much of the problem with psychology and diagnostic labels to me is the fact that symptoms are often defined through outsiders and what they see from you, not what you experience internally. sure, NPD has symptoms that are like "you're entitled" and "you exploit people," but these are things that would be hard to be introspective about if you have a disorder that is literally known for making that difficult. all these symptoms come from what a doctor would potentially see from you, which makes it even more subject to personal bias and interpretation of what you must be feeling rather than what you actually are. hence why a woman might be more likely to get diagnosed with BPD or HPD but the man right next to her gets diagnosed with NPD or ASPD, despite both often having the same symptoms. or white people are more likely to be diagnosed with major depression or GAD, where a black person with the same symptoms will get diagnosed with OCD or bipolar. because it's all subject to bias and assumption from the outside, not internal experience from the actual person with the disorder

not to mention, the fact we even have disorders like NPD, ASPD, ODD, HPD, and the way that we describe the symptoms of them, etc... is pretty fucked up. histrionic comes from female hysteria. narcissism is self-obsession and vanity when NPD is a lot more complex than that. "anti-social" basically just means antagonistic and unacceptable behavior. ODD is "we're going to label you as a psychopath: child edition." like. while i do understand wanting to rehabilitate these labels and to some degree i support it (if this is the label that the system is going to put onto you, ie NPD etc, then we should be accurate and informative about what it actually is instead of letting people treat it like Evil Demon Disorder), at the same time i can't help but hope that people really do understand that the perception of these disorders as Bad Person Disorder goes all the way back to its diagnostic label and the people who gave it that name and those symptoms to begin with. its not just that people are mean about it when it's applied. the entire system and categorization of these terms is fucked up. why did we name a disorder after narcissism. why did we name a disorder after female hysteria. why did we name a disorder "oppositional defiant disorder" and start applying it to children, especially black children. simply accepting the labels and making them not have a terrible meaning in our own spaces is one thing, but on its own it is not enough. we need to change the whole fabric of how this type of shit even works and is defined in the first place.

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

this makes more sense if you assume both are the same body of water but the time between the statements is about 50 million years

you’re right, that’s significantly less weird

i bless the bonnie over africa

The bonnie is in geosychronous orbit, thus over all the Earth’s bodies of water

the bonnie is merely moving very fast, perhaps at hypersonic velocity, relative to the singer

I’d die on the hill that “stranger danger” is a deeply unhelpful mentality to have. “Ooooh everyone is out to get me they’re all gonna perpetrate harm that’s actually more likely to come from someone I already know. I better never talk to anyone in my community who I don’t already know, just to be safe. I’m sure there are no other biases interwoven with this mentality” like oh my god human traffickers do not just randomly spawn in every parking lot. You don’t have to go solo hitchhiking across the country but you also don’t have to live in fear that every guy on the street is the knife man who’s gonna get you. Like have situational awareness, yeah. But most of the time the guy on the street is not knife man he’s actually just a guy on the street and he’s probably pretty chill, and you’re driving yourself crazy by living in a constant state of unnecessary fear.

Like always safety comes first, especially if you’re in a marginalized group more likely to be targeted by random people around you. But that’s different from stranger danger. I might even say that stranger danger is something that contributes to marginalized groups getting targeted by random people. Which strangers do you find distrust worthy? Why? Does vague distrust justify harmful actions in the name of self defense? Stranger danger draws everyone away from more important issues of safety (underlying bigotries, systemic injustices, abuse in the home, etc) and towards an amorphous boogeyman that has no solution, because it’s not the real cause or culprit.

Damn forgive me for americentrism. Thank you for documenting this

I mean thinking about this again this absolutely happened in Germany too. People absolutely lost their manners and sense of community good.

Someone I loved with all my heart said one day while driving on the crammed freeway, “I like to let people over - it’s a mini way of making their day better.” And I, a naturally “lead foot” too speedy for her own good, needlessly chaotic at the time driver, absorbed this into my being and to this day enjoy the simple act of letting people merge- oh hey human, I see you, we all gotta get places. <3

growing up as an unaware lesbian trans girl you'll have cis dudes asking you things like "wait if you're a guy who likes girls... why do you act like such a faggot?" and by acting like a faggot they'll just mean having emotions and respecting women. and you'll just shrug

if you see hardware on yhe ground like a washer or a hex nut you have to pick it up because it’s lonely and scared. if you see any metal on the ground you have to pick it up because it’s alone and scared and lonely.

Everyone go look up the song nasa banned from space
