I dont even take self diagnosis with a pinch of salt, I just straight up dont listen anymore.

Depression, Autism and Anxiety are real, common and to be taken seriously when accurately diagnosed.

But sadly I do think there is a tendency for some younger RPers and a couple older ones to just slap a label on themselves because they dont nessecarily fit in with their extremely subjetive and narrowly percieved definition of what the 'mainstream' is.

I mean can anyone really give me an exhustive defination of what a 'normie' is? Or how they think and live their lives?

We are all different and we are all creative. But to varying degrees, some of us have more desrie to express our creativity some have more free time. 


Also just as final note, Mental illness gets thrown around too much, sometimes you just have personality disorder. The level of cringe when everyone at my college started calling themselves 'Sociopaths' when Sherlock and later Hannibal were popular was unbearable.
