Dear Artists,
stop making oc who have this combo of traits if you don't have a good reason to do that:
> over-emotional
> depressive (everyone can have it, but most of over-emotional people just want to have it. I have many examples from real life, they really need someone rational to help them. But I am f#cking sick of it and it won't be me anymore, unless I know that even if a person is over-emotional, they does not want to have this mental health problem, then I could help. It's a serious problem, treat it seriously. You're not a kid anymore.)
> unnecessary attention seeker (always a bad trait, no excuses)
> bonus: egoistical (makes it more toxic)
There is a difference between
"oh nooo I am sooo not fine, I have [self diagnosed or real, don't romanticize this] depression aww it hurts my ego when you not give me 24/7 attention,,,,,,, ahhh ohh I can't do any simple thing in my life because I will cry because your not looking at me,,,,"
and
"I don't have a depression. [not true] I'm fine. [lies] Better focus on your stuff because longer you are sticking your nose into other people's business, faster you could get a punch from me. [true]"
I HAVE MET TOO MANY PEOPLE LIKE IN THE FIRST EXAMPLE, JUST. DON'T. DO. THAT.
Have a reason to give your character such traits. Don't do that "for fun" because it's not fun, it's joking from serious health problems bruh. Want to make your oc toxic? You have a plenty of ways to do that, no need to choose this shit. Re-think it. You are a source of creativity, change that.
Plus about people like that: they are not aware that this toxic combo is worse than the depression itself. Romanticizing depression is just awful and disgusting. Generally romanticizing health problems is horrible. Yes, unnecessary attention seeking is also on list of mental health problems, this is something that is treated. DO NOT ROMANTICIZE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
this post is inspired by @gamemerz69's rant posts about bad stuff that artists do.
