Yes...but so is fanatic right wingers. Both are mentally ill. Just different illness.
There is no 'side' which doesn't imply a mental illness....it literally says you are different and unable to be like the other people because of your mental beliefs....
This is a cop out. The reality is not everyone is living with a mental disorder. Just the people that have them.
To proclaim all do, is simply just ignorant and attempting to downplay the seriousness of wanting someone to control you, or any of the other mental disorders they display.
What you don't realise is that all mental illness is just definitions based on not fitting I with society at large.....
Ergo.....if society is mentally sick itself....you have a mental illness if you are healthy....but if you chose to consider your own values....you have a mental illness unless those values are shared by the majority....
This is just more incorrect belief sets that you have been programmed to accept, it is not anywhere near based on logic or reason and perhaps this alone reveals your preference in believing what you write.
There is the slight chance* you are joking, and if that is the case, it is not funny.
Suggesting you have a mental disorder because you do not agree with the majority is the most asinine shit I have read in a long time, are you a leftist?
It was written under the satirical state of the world as it is defined by the DSM lol.
I think it is retarded myself, but if you look into the DSM...it's pretty much says anything can be a mental illness if you have an inability to corr Carly function with the world at large which implies you need to function according to the society at large to avoid having a disorder...and then if you look at what can be considered a disorder you realise it is a spectrum of pretty much all human flaws ... So unless you are flawless the DSM will find some way to link up a possible 'diagnosis' which happens if you are not able to function in society at large.
So technically it's true. Not that I agree with it. It's just how they process stuff these days....
I haven't met a person without a mental illness.....most are very small and negligible...but everyone has them.
Most people live very simple contained lives and they found ways early on to cope with whatever issues they have....it's only when the coping mechanisms break down that people declare it a 'mental illness' because they are no longer able to fit in with society.
But those underlying coping mechanisms are the only thing keeping the illness at bay.
Well, this is a bit of a stretch. Basically now you would have to proclaim that personality quirks or other such distasteful behavior composes a mental disorder. This is just a twisted way to view things, basically what we do is this.
As a human develops, they can pick from let's say a 'pool' of personalities, there are a finite amount in the pool, you can pick and choose as many as you like and mix and match them to your pleasure. You can return them to the pool or retain them and hone them for use.
At the end of the day a mental disorder should be reserved for cases where the mental processing one uses and the outcomes one obtains are not inline with logic or reason. That is a mental disorder.
Anything else is just making people uncomfortable and frankly, thinking one must completely conform to some specific behavior patterns is in itself a form of mental disorder.
You just made up a bunch of shit...and said that is hould be that way.....no reasons...
Sorry but your assumptions are not accurate...and you cannot assume that so easily.
You assume that only X types of people can. Exist.....so....already I have a problem with your simple assumption
