  • Jesus I thought assumptions about others was more a thing of Reddit, not here. The user you’re talking about simply stated they felt violated heavily by such, not that they’d inflict violence specifically.

    My apartment was burglarized over a decade ago and I’m only just now getting over the trauma of it mostly. I had nightmares for years about coming home and my front door being wide open, and everything being gone. I lost sleep waking up repeatedly from these nightmares.

    It’s easy to point fingers when you haven’t been traumatized by an event yourself. Have an ounce of fucking empathy here. Neither that person nor I want to hurt folks at all, and I absolutely wouldn’t be able to hurt someone who broke into my place even if I was home besides yelling and trying to scare them off by making a loud racket. But that doesn’t mean we weren’t violated in some fashion.

    Like the other commenter in the thread about his wife elbowing a pickpocket, that’s not actually going to hurt or damage anyone but it’ll startle the hell out of them to run off. It’s not like she beat him or made him bleed, at worst he got a bruise for a couple hours.

    Anyway great to know more folks give zero shits about mental health clearly.



  • It explains so much when it’s played up so heavily in talk shows, despite the reality always having been very minor. Honestly I didn’t realize me being gay was that much of a minority either. I kind of wish ADHD had been one in the list; if I remember the reality is like no more than 3-5% of the population but people assume it’s over diagnosed as hell and like…not really. Maybe when there was the initial “rush” of sorts for parents during the 90’s because of it seeming to help “unruly” kids, often just meaning imaginative or creative. In my case my parents didn’t even know until my kindergarten teacher told them I should get evaluated, and yep.
