"normalize this, normalize that" normalize emotional lability? psuedobulbar affect?
it's great that we're normalizing the widespread things but I didn't realize what was wrong with me until a few years ago. I had no friends because of it. and then I was so depressed and mastered hiding emotions that it didn't even show up, and people finally wanted to be friends with me. they only liked me when I stopped feeling emotive at all.
I don't expect y'all to know and research every condition possible, but at least treat people kindly if you don't know what's going on. that kid at school who has trouble expressing emotions in a normal way? they're not a "crybaby" or "too emotional." that coworker who struggles with regulating their feelings, and either shows too much or too little? there's a reason.
I don't ask for reblogs but for the love of god just be kind to people so they don't have fucked up lives and think that they're the problem.
