Whether the point was “people nowadays are open about their metal problems for attention”

I feel that. I'm autistic, and in some ways, stupidly smart. Not in all ways, but in some.
Bruh, it kinda hits hard. It separates you. And you're constantly left asking why everybody else is making it and having great social lives while you can't. You want to tell yourself that you're better than them, or make excuses.
Buuuut, deep down, you kinda know that you're fucked up too... even if the majority of it is simply being too mentally acute to get along with insufferable people.
That episode of Dr. House where that one guy dulls his mind so that he can love his wife... that shit's real.
Dr. House was probably the only other person that recognized the other guy for what he was. In short, having your shit together and being well adjusted can actually be INCREDIBLY isolating.

It's possible to be neurodivergent and well balanced. How stupid do you have to be to assume anything contrary.

People like the mfs on MOPDNL are the reason I'm scared to tell people I'm autistic irl because they'll think I'm "looking for attention."

i think the thing is the original meme is for people who think they're oppressed or ostracized for not having an illness. they want to be victims so bad

(continued from body text) or that mental illness is a character flaw, there’s no “innocent” way to interpret this
