"Narcissist" replaced the word "*sshole." In the last thirty years or so the education system started labeling students with mental/emotional disorders, then the kids saw it as something special so they wore their disfunction like a badge of honor. You were not cool or normal unless you had a diagnosed disorder. When my son was a kid his teacher diagnosed him with ADD/ADHD or whatever the hell it's called and said he should be on Ritalin. He did not live with me and his mother was a m*ron. My mother, being part of the education system went along with the teacher said. I said he did not need to be on drugs, he just needs to be told to shut up now and then but everybody told me that was abusive behavior. After hearing about all this I started bringing him to my place on weekends and I worked his ass off all day long with no breaks. He was not disruptive in class afterwards. If I didn't know any better I would say he spent too much time on video games being over stimulated and never being told to shut up at his mother's house, and not having anything more physical to do. What he needed was some discipline and physical work and much less screen time which overstimulated him and made him too chatty. My grandparents had the same thoughts I did on this matter, tell him to shut up when he needs to be told to and he isn't being worked hard enough. I remember years ago when I started hearing younger people talk about the emo crowd. I asked a few younger folks what does emo mean and why do the ones who claim to be emo look just like the ones who say they are goth. The response was that the ones who say they are emo are emotional and the goth kids are not. This made no sense to me at all. Every human has a wide range of emotions unless you have had a frontal lobotomy. Who comes up with this shit anyways....

There's also a lot of anti-stoic videos. They don't seem to know what stoicism is though. It's beyond their comprehension that someone can be genuinely unbothered by something.

Stoicism implies you're facing a hardship with grace and dignity. If you're genuinely unencumbered by something where's the stoicism?

When somebody needs everything clean, neat, or organized because of their "OCD" that's a full stop for me. OCD is scary, and it varies but in general IMO it's based on fear that reality can drastically change when you aren't paying enough attention to it. If you've already washed your hands 50 times today, if you're not comfortable in your kitchen without every cabinet open so you can see that nothing has moved in there, if you accidentally imagined you hurt somebody and now you can't get it out of your head and you're afraid it will come true against your will, then you can talk to me about your OCD. I will be sympathetic and understanding. But if you think it's funny how you gotta have everything in it's place and calling that OCD then f--- off, and I will tell it to your face right then. Thanks for mentioning that. Cheers.

Very true. The DSM 5 is always being updated with new disorders, and big pharma unsurprisingly always has a new drug ready for them. I have seen people throughout my life struggle with their own behaviour for many reasons, diagnosing themselves and seeking medical diagnosis for many different disorders, in order to understand themselves and their behaviours (and justify them as well.) Instead of really looking at themselves and owning their behaviour and making an effort to change. Some people are legitimately unwell, and need medicating for sure. Lots of people suffer from depression during times of hardship or grief, but they don't all need poison stuffed down their throats, as it is a natural human response to a difficult situation, and will pass. Psychiatry has a lot to answer for. A lot of these new 'narcisissists" are just what we would have called Aholes in the past. Not sick, just nasty people. 😊😼

@GenXThinks Ай бұрын

I absolutely agree! Well said 👍

@ozarkrefugee Ай бұрын

Our society has been duped into thinking you should be happy happy happy all the time, this is not the least bit realistic. You have a problem- we have a pill for that says big pharma. Gov't and society create the problem, they also have the pill for it, money in their pockets and not in yours. Some problems just need time to heal/fix, but our society wants everyone to be the ever productive tax paying slave with no time to process one's feelings/thoughts/issues.

In this case it all comes down to liability wealth and power. Those that don't have these luxuries to PAY for the assistance/personal outlet that will truly benefit them and allow them to extricate themselves from these cycles of outside forced abuse and those the have such luxuries who treat the vast majority of the public while using their wealth power and influence to lobby(BUY) laws that protect themselves and take a little more of OUR personal liberties because so many of us are distracted by just trying to make a living in a system that uses us then tosses us to the side when we are deemed no longer useful. It's amazing what people will put up with so long as they have a few modern comfort allowances isn't it. True FREEDOM isn't free and the only way to gain TRUE FREEDOM is learned through history. We get fed BS like violence doesn't solve anything by the very same people/organizations that use violence to control the majority like a rat in a maze. The majority of us have been abused for so many generations that we don't even realize that we have been and still are being abused. Slavery was never abolished slavery just put on a different face the face of wage/debt/addiction slavery! We are many generations with Stockholm Syndrome and some of us are steadily waking up to that cold harsh reality!

I've talked about this with my sons. Why can't people just be who they are without them having some lable? Like autism, I've met some people who appear to be just normal people, but then they announce they have autism. I'm not saying it's not serious when it's real, but I think it's way, way over diagnosed. I think for some, it's that victim mentality. I think they are trying to get everyone to act and think the same, so stick them on some medication. I personally had to be on an antidepressant for some time after having a couple of my boys, but I think there were better ways it could have been dealt with. I probably just needed some hormones or some kale or something. It was hell coming off them. They never even tested my blood to see if anything was out of wack. Now I know better because of the internet and my own personal experiences.

And to make things worse, the younger generations that have been taught to label everybody expect others to go along with being labeled. I cannot help but think this has been in the plans of the globalists as part of their divide and conquer plan. When I have been talking to millennials they automatically start putting labels on me which sort of irks me.

Yeah, now these disorders are on a spectrum, like gender. It's completely ridiculous. I have met many normal people who've told me that they're autistic as well. I know what you're talking about. People want to be special and get treated differently.

If guns were really the issue then there would have been allot of mass shootings when we went to school. Before Reagan signed the Brady bill into law you could have guns in your truck window. Perhaps some of these killings are do to societal decay? It seems strange that these shooters always seem to be on police or Fed radar.

You're certainly not far off the mark with this one, I'll tell you that much. Depression is one of the most common side effects from a lot of different medications, even antidepressants can make your depression worse in the beginning. One of the more serious symptoms of depression is suicidal ideation, combine that with frustration, anger or jealousy and you have the perfect mix for homicidal ideation as well, and homicidal people with depression is just about as dangerous as it gets because they have no feelings of hope. The rise of pseudo intellectualism among people who are affected hard by the Dunning-Kruger effect combined with lost and or ignorant people who lack purpose and meaning in their lives in turn is the perfect storm for mass hysteria, mass hysteria in turn makes things much worse because it spreads like wildfire throughout society. What makes people loose purpose and meaning in life in the first place, well that's a big question but the most common things I can think of from my experience is people not being able to live their lives their way but instead being forced into lifestyles that doesn't suit them either by coercion or societal expectations from the time they were kids, the other thing is loosing their freedoms to do what they enjoy and gives them meaning, the third thing is the lack of good relationships with others, either romantic or true friendships. The combination of all this and more is what is happening and what we see today, not only in the west but the whole world is going through different levels of this and that's really fucking dangerous, add legalized drug stimulus that makes it easier to do bad things on top of that. Yeah, bad mental health is a huge problem, not the potential tool they' use which can be anything, and statistically that choice is hands and feet, also in the US BTW.

There's certainly a line that separates modern society's understanding of cleanliness/sanitation from that of the grime and literal un-hygienic conditions that cause real problems. Anti-bacterial soap had a moment in time where it was useful, but now it's overused and the evolution of "super-bacteria" is a real thing, and over-reliance on that stuff is working against us. No one should live in filth, but a "clean room" isn't the answer either.
