This needs to stop. It is so infuriating…
I am just really upset because I see this content everywhere. especially that godforsaken tiktok. I am fed up with attention seeking kids quite literally fake being mentally ill. Gen Z has this idea that having problems makes you unique and interesting. jokes and trends are constantly being made off of painful fucking mental disorders. I feel like no one thinks about how harmful this is to people who are truly struggling? Like people who actually deal with the rawness and pain of these disorders (not the romanticized tiktok version) won’t get taken seriously soon because of these dense ass idiots who have never experienced shit in their lives. And I feel like no one thinks about how posting explicit details about your ED may effect impressionable young girls? People don’t care, they just want attention, they just want to be admired for their “uniqueness.” It’s like everyone is bipolar now , has BPD or depression you name it. It’s wrong and I just am wondering if anyone else has some fucking common sense? I admit I am somewhat of a cynical person but atleast I see through peoples self absorbed BS? Social media these days is like a “who can be the most different” competition. such bullshit, it’s so cringey how people try so hard to create personalities for themselves because of a lack thereof. Sorry about the angry rant, probably the wrong place to do it. I am genuinely embarrassed of my *actually diagnosed* disorders because of the way they are portrayed on social media. I do not want to ever be grouped with people who lack the brain complexity/ a level of conscious to understand how serious the terms are that they are throwing around and misusing. People who are actually suffering with these conditions need understanding and support, not trivialization. Thank u…
