How did this start?

I see a lot of people on social media glamorizing personality disorders, especially narcissism and antisocial personality disorder. There are people who actually want to be sociopaths

They think not having emotions is an advantage, but most people who lack emotions usually end up in jail or unemployed because they can’t control their impulses.

It gives them a “personality”

Kanye said it was his superpower and he the most influential that time cover was just confirmation

That Tik Tok thread made me ask myself this

Most of these ppl don't actually have no emotions they just don't know how to deal with them so they act like they don't exist

the first step of recovery is admitting your faults

We all have a personality disorder

really?

Dr. James Masterson, M.D., the first to develop a successful treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder, said “No one escapes childhood unscathed,” and followed that by saying everyone has some degree of personality disorder, and the question is not personality disorder yes, or no, but to what degree.

I have no idea why suffering seems cool to some

what's fun about disorders? being a zombie on meds? feeling like a cog in the wheel of life? suicide? self-harm?

I have no idea what normal feels like so I'd like to know what makes disorders ''cool''

bee-you-LL-shit

i dont like it when people do it, but i kinda get it. I have personality disorders (i even have two lol) and while i would never openly talk about it (only a couple of my friends know about it), its a part of me and it does make me special in a way. Its who i am idk.

Niggas watch too much anime and wanna be a brooding trouble character

It’s a stupid trend now.

Everyone posts s*** like “it’s ok to feel like x”

Or “if you have x it’s completely valid to feel and do y”

This is coming from people who took one intro to psych course and think they are experts

So cringey

Look up

Gen Z teenagers think its cool to be "qUirKy"

I'm certain it didn't start with this but my earliest recollection of the mental disorder romancing started when Drake dropped Trust Issues. He had half my high school going around saying they had trust issues and acting moody out of nowhere, it was the cringiest thing Id ever seen.

Or if you wanted to take it way back you could argue it started with goths in the late 90s to early 2000's? Although that strikes me as more of a phase or "lifestyle" than anything, they weren't all necessarily depressed satanists.

Do you feel like Generation Z has to have more of it? And if so why?

I blame Troy Ave stans TBFH

Weirdo ^

Repeated psychological studies have shown there was a significant increase in this after Naruto chapter 3 "Enter Sasuke!" on October 18th 1999. The first catalyst of the "Sasuke-Vegeta Paradigm" being the latter character's first appearance in Dragon Ball Chapter 204 "The Needs of the Many" on the 7th November 1988.

Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial ...

F*** social media also.

I'm sooo over it bro, it's peak narcissism in 21st century.

People born in the 2000's were exposed to alot more anxiety driven things during their youth, opposed to us in the 90's where we were growing up in a time before there wasn't a constant fear and worry about the world.
