“Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. They have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. But it is at great cost. Nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either.”

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update
anyone need serotonin?
Like the sunflowers shining up to the sun,
Or a bushfull of roses in bloom.
Like the dandelions dispersed and all done,
Or an open lotus under the moon...
One day I shall also grow and bloom.

“why is this a disorder this is normal it’s just soci-“ girl what do you think the social part of the biopsychosocial model of psychology means….
if it were a social norm to scream to communicate and someone quietly waved instead they’d be disordered in that society.
“doesn’t that mean that disorders are all socially constructed?” no because autism and adhd (i know y’all are only talking about these when you argue this stuff…) have a biological basis AKA you have structural abnormalities in the brain.
“but maybe those structural changes are just a social-“ uh i mean if you want to call an abnormally small hippocampus that results in memory loss just a social construct you can…i guess
next time you’re thinking “it’s just society that makes me disordered” uh yeah that’s literally part of it. psychology is a social science. but also like don’t forget there’s biology behind it and there’s never one reason why you’re disordered, it’s a mix of genetics, cultural influences, nature v. nuture, etc…
