Re: Fandom and Anxiety
But these aren't exactly mutually exclusive. If I'm leading people, I want to know how best to prepare in the even of shit hitting the fan, including anxiety attacks - same with just about any illness, physical or mental. I want to know if someone who I work with has asthma because not only does this mean I try to make sure they stay away from workplace allergens/airborn toxins, but also so that I know what to do if they do have an asthma attack. If someone has an anxiety disorder, then I would not only know when to proverbially have them on the floor and when to let them work the backshelves, but also know ahead of time how to help them if/when they do have anxiety attacks.
I'm not saying you don't have a point that people have good reasons for keeping these things private - absolutely they can be used to bully people. But it's not as if someone is just a dumbass or naive or a bully for wanting to know these things about the people around them - especially if it's their job to look out for the people around them.
Re: Fandom and Anxiety
They're not but they're also not the same thing in any respect. That's why I said knowledge could only help the anon and why I said that if they choose to be that person that helps then they should learn as much as they can. However, they need that confidence, wherever they get it, or all their knowledge will be useless to them.
I didn't even mention bullying in this last response. However, I don't think someone needs to know about another's mental health unless it will become a problem in the workplace. If it's a problem like asthma is? Maybe if the person chooses to. (You know, as long as it won't cause severe problems for themselves or others. If it does, okay.) But if it won't cause problems and they don't want to tell anyone? It's absolutely none of your business. And really, it's less about bullying and more about getting fired.
