it is so tiring to continue to watch people that conform religiously to societal norms demonize people that don’t and that criticize these norms then play victim after the fact. “let people do what they want” all of society has been structured to encourage you to and reward you for doing exactly what you are doing right now. and you can’t even just do it and be done with it. no, you need universal validation. more accurately, you need assimilation.

the more women push back on sexualized violence in the bedroom and in relationships, the more aware those that don’t are that they’re is a problem. the more women wear their natural hair and natural faces and natural nails, the more aware those that don’t are that they cannot. self-reflection is crucial. it’s a sign of maturity and intelligence. the refusal to self-reflect in the face of critical information is a massive character flaw. you are faced with people that hold an uncomfortable mirror to the restrictive and hegemonic influenced on your own life and preferences and you’re too childish to do anything but throw a tantrum at people you know are right anyway

Abstract

Mental health problems, especially among youth, have exploded together with major expansions in mental health awareness efforts. The theory of concept creep, or when harm-related concepts broaden their meanings over time, describes this phenomenon but is agnostic about the mechanisms behind the harms. We suggest that this lack of clarity is due to a fragmented literature with proposed mechanisms spread across adjacent fields. Across theories and explanatory frameworks of concept creep, nocebo effects, prevalence inflation, and illness self-labeling, we identify three common mechanisms through which mental health awareness may unintentionally cause harm. These include (a) lowering the threshold for what counts as a mental disorder, (b) increasing attention to internal states and pathologizing ambiguous experiences, and (c) reinforcing negative expectations and identities over time. We describe these shared mechanisms, propose a path forward for research priorities, broaden the evidence for harms from mental health awareness, and offer options for effective multifaceted interventions to reduce them

my boss uses frankly kind of bad grammar when she messages me at work and it makes me respect her authority less. and she's younger than me which doesn't help either
