"Stalking?" God forbid I'm detail-oriented and curious by nature.
If you’re really a “mental health advocate”, you’ll have to acknowledge people who lack empathy, people who can’t physically care about other people, people who are narcissistic and/or self serving, people who have homicidal thoughts, people who are extreme attention seekers, people who have unstable and erratic emotions, etc etc…
Mental health advocacy doesn’t stop at disorders you “just don’t like”.
more products of my chronic boredom.
edit: since so many of you are completely misconstruing the purpose of this meme, the reason why HPD isn’t mentioned on this post is because this is specifically talking about the personality disorders that i have been diagnosed with and the demonisation i’ve experienced.
people without empathy deserve to be alive
people with morbid thoughts deserve to be alive
people who don't feel guilt or remorse deserve to be alive
people who fantasize about violence deserve to be alive
people who don't care for friendships deserve to be alive
people who don't desire to "contribute to society" deserve to be alive
people who are aloof or callous deserve to be alive
people who don't follow social norms deserve to be alive
none of these types of people are inherently bad, evil, dangerous, or untrustworthy. personality traits and social preferences do not define someone's right to exist or be treated like a human being. and, if it's wanted, people with these traits can be just as good friends as people without these traits.
you're not better than them if you're an empathetic, sensitive, passive, extroverted, etc. plenty of "empaths" or popular members of a community are abusive. your actions are what matter most, not what emotions you feel/don't feel, or how social you are.
it's always sad when I see people with psychological disabilities (most often PDs) say things like "i don't feel attraction but i'm trying to" or "i can't love, how do i fix this?"
genuinely, if you don't feel attraction (of any sort! not just sexual), consider that you're A-spec!! being traumatized does not mean you cannot be A-spec, just like it doesn't mean you can't be gay or trans!
the idea that you need to "fix" your attraction to be "mentally healthy" is an anti-LGBT myth, although one that's unfortunately still common in regards to A-spec folks.
and even if you are actually allosexual/-romantic/-platonic and you'll (re)develop attraction as you recover, there is literally no good in forcing yourself to feel it; forcing intimacy is unhealthy, encourages self-loathing when you inevitably don't enjoy it, and leaves you incredibly vulnerable to abuse.
if you're going to feel attraction one day, it'll happen without pressure. if you're not going to experience attraction, no amount of pressure will make it happen. A-spec or not, you've gotta let yourself be in this regard.
(Absolutely seething with rage) oh yeah no I’m good don’t worry :).
Friendly reminder that your mental illness acceptance is not true acceptance if it ends when someone has
- Narcissistic personality disorder
- Factitious disorder
- Body integrity identity disorder
-Substance abuse disorder
-Antisocial personality disorder
-Schizospec disorders
You can’t pick and choose which mentally ill people are worthy of your acceptance and support. That’s just ableist.
the amount of times i want to tell someone mid conversation 'i genuinely couldnt care any less about what youre telling me' but i cant because thats evil i guess
