Maybe it depends on culture? I feel I am pretty normal, I don't take medication and I am content (though winning a few millions in the lottery would be nice). Most people I work with are perfectly normal too (and I work at a university in the psychology department, go figure... though maybe that's the reason).

The only one in my family who takes medication is my brother and he has epilepsy. None of my friends take any medication for mental health either or go to psychiatrists. Everyone of us is different but not everyone has some trauma in his past or mental health issues. This isn't a crpg where every protagonists parents got killed by the big evil who was also their grandparent.

I do recognize that mental health problems are far more prevalent than assumed by the general population in past times and that many people have traumas from events in their history.

I would give up every positive quality I have in exchange for that.

How is that normal?

Don’t be fooled.

They just don’t give their feelings or conditions the same words like the rest of the world does.

They have a panic attack and it’s not a ‘panic attack’ despite all the symptoms they have that are a panic attack. I’ve known too many of these types that get anxious and then suddenly claim they are fine and never get panic attacks. And everyone close to them are sworn to secrecy to not show they ever had such a weak moment.

They want to be un-relatable to what they associate as ‘unhealthy’ conditions.

I once had explained what a flu is to a vegan who caught a flu a week later only she didn’t call it a flu and she refused to see a doctor. She decided she ate something that had pesticides in it. But oh no she never got the flu or Covid. It could never be called that because the vegan diet is too sanctified to be associated with such ‘unhealthy’ conditions.

Obvious psychopath. I’m curious which glue the friend huffs to be so clueless? They must be so happy!..

He sounds fake. Or like a liar.

His name wouldn't happen to be Patrick Batemen, would it?
