i dont have like a degree or anything but i think assigning diagnoses to every behavior is probably not good for us in the long run

every few days i see some tweet or something saying “i just found out that ___ is a symptom of trauma” and it’ll be like getting shivers or rewatching movies or enjoying hot showers. even if it was all true i can’t imagine what seeing that stuff all the time would make me think if i was a teenager. at an age when you’re clamoring so much for identity it seems like we’re encouraging young people to identify with suffering just a little too much
