This sounds like it as written by one of those people who glorify being extra empathetic and demonize anybody with lower empathy (ie low empathy autistic ppl and ppl with antisocial personality disorder) and view them as inherent monsters.

Which is a whole bunch of obnoxious bullshit. I am what one might consider a "high empathy" autistic person. Plus I have bipolar type 2. This DOES NOT make me a nicer or even better person. Just one with lots feelings (and unhealthy habits of dealing with them all)

Some very kind and helpful people I've known had antisocial personality disorder. And some of the cruelest fuckers I've ever seen clearly HAD empathy but chose not to extend it to some certain people they deemed immoral or not deserving. And/or they let all their emotions about a certain topic cloud their judgement.

It's made me begin to rethink how i thought of or even talked about some mental illnesses to not treat certain people as lesser.

Whether or not empathy is a thing that comes easy to you or you experience like most people expect does not determine your worth or morality as a person. Its your choices , your actions

We need to quit valorizing certain kinds of mental illness while demonizing others. We need to not treat certain mental illnesses/conditions as more noble than others AS WELL AS talking about people with certain conditions and purely mental illnesses in terms of how they inconvenience others

The Cat is mentally ill. That doesn't make them any better or worse than others. Nor does it make the others better or worse. But the Cat does need HELP for their condition and may need to unlearn some things.

Being the Cat /being a person who used to be like Cat and unlearning some of that shit is fucking EXHAUSTING.

This is a good well thought out comment.

Thanks.
I hate seeing how some mental illnesses get construed like they're a sign of extra inherent goodness while others are a sign of evil . Which from what others are saying id what this has vibes of

Small correction

> We need to not treat certain mental illnesses/conditions as more noble than others AS WELL AS not talking about people with certain conditions and purely mental illnesses in terms of how they inconvenience others

Is what i meant. Basically referring stuff like that anti-autistic ableism where more moderate to severely autistic people are only seen as how they 'burden' their caretakers/how exhausting they are etc and not treated like people. That shit's dehumanizing as fuck and ime a lot of the people who talked like that eventually extended it to any autistic person including those like me who only needed like a handful of support needs and a bit of GODDAMN PATIENCE when i was child

Edited (Added this bc i wanted to just basically address how so much if my feelings on this are about different kinds of ableism. Something that lifts up some mentally ill ppl while demonizing others is just a different kind of ableism.) 2024-10-22 00:20 (UTC)
