Suffice it to say, 99% of what you posted is based on faulty assumptions and delusions of grandeur. You aren't the only one with professional experience and opinions in this thread.
I called you an idiot for the same reason you're going on a tangent about arrogance and usernames right now. You think it applies. I sometimes read your posts and wonder if you're in the same discussion that everyone else is.

The who, what, where, what, and why of discussions of mental health are components of the aforementioned myths, fears, cultural competencies, ignorances, etc. I never said this stuff was in isolation. For the purposes of this discussion, I was simply talking about the discussion of such matters and the different ways it can impact seeking treatment. I am not sure where you were going with that because you had a few ideas that steered from my point--and that's how dialogue between you and me often goes. |
@the bolded. Those are trigger words and phrases. Who can effectively communicate when you are calling people names and putting them people down? Why would I want to defend myself against those comments? So what? Will people think of me any differently or like me more (or less)? No. So, you are entitled to YOUR opinion, but that is a wholly inaccurate description of me. You can disagree with my opinions, that is fine... But belittling because you choose not to understand them, is your choice. I can be crystal clear as water from the tap, you will still use trigger words and phrases against me belittling me publicly--for what reason, IDK? I guess you get your rocks off about it, I guess I make you day to triumph over me... IDK? But I don't have to belittle others when I want to feel better about myself... I guess that is the difference between you and me?
Now I can use all kinds of profane language with epithets... But, what's the point? That is why it is better to avoid each other, because I cannot see the helping or healing here? People will do whatever they want to do, ultimately, even after pointing out the error of their ways...
@the underlined. Yes, I knew that was your point. You assume that I missed that. I did not. I thought my posts reflected what you were saying. Apparently, you did not think so. You would know that if you did not try so hard to dismiss and discredit me. But, that's fine... I understand you have to find someone to scapegoat...
