Facepalm

Redditors (along with 4channers) are convinced that their platform is somehow representative of the real world.

Why are we glorifying mental health like it's Pokémon gym badges? So many people just self diagnosing and claiming it's like an RPG buff rather than bringing proper support and sharing to a conversation. " I feel personally attacked" every time some quirky "oh my osd" meme is posted. If this was real that person seems immature and toxic af. Dude probably keeping as low key as possible so his child brain co workers don't bother him with their so special issues.

Maybe it depends on culture? I feel I am pretty normal, I don't take medication and I am content (though winning a few millions in the lottery would be nice). Most people I work with are perfectly normal too (and I work at a university in the psychology department, go figure... though maybe that's the reason).

The only one in my family who takes medication is my brother and he has epilepsy. None of my friends take any medication for mental health either or go to psychiatrists. Everyone of us is different but not everyone has some trauma in his past or mental health issues. This isn't a crpg where every protagonists parents got killed by the big evil who was also their grandparent.

I do recognize that mental health problems are far more prevalent than assumed by the general population in past times and that many people have traumas from events in their history.

He sounds fake. Or like a liar.

Obvious psychopath. I’m curious which glue the friend huffs to be so clueless? They must be so happy!..

This man is a robot

Destroy. Destroy

(He's totally blowing our cover, wtf?)

I gotta wonder where someone works if everyone there is a physiological or mental disaster. I’ve held plenty of jobs and the people that were a wreck stood out, they weren’t the rule. Even now that I’m older, people do take meds, but they’re all “normal” age-related stuff. Blood pressure, whatever.

He knows, and he does. You’re just too busy talking about yourself to consider he might be a person too

I'm sure the dude has his issues.

He might just be better at masking them, who knows... Or maybe the issues he has aren't with his mental health or physical health.

Staying physically active is a big part of maintaining your mental health, I won't argue that, but it's not the magic bullet some people want you to think it is.

How is that normal?

I've had to explain... basically everything to him because he had never experienced/heard of these before

Oh I see what happened here. You as The Giver must enlighten this sheltered one the experiences that were entrusted to you. He might not forgive you for sharing such knowledge, but it is your duty.

Holy victim mentality

I'm no therapist but I'd say a good chunk of someone's wellbeing is tied to their physical health. Physical health = mental health So even a small walk can give a big improvement. Sauce :I've been less suicidal and mentally fucked since I started doing crossfit.
