Does anyone feel like...

Anthony

Does anyone feel like they are defective with their diagnosis? It’s a term I use to describe myself a lot and I’m always berated for it by others - mostly professionals - but I am very literal in what I say so my choice of word I believe is correct. I grant a lack of self worth is a factor in how I evaluate myself but I don’t think calling myself defective (or weird is the other label I give myself) is in any way unfair.

Evidentially: I can’t make friends for trying, my outlooks on the world and others are abstract, I can’t cope with some basic things many can - defective right?

  •  the fish that developed the first leg ( strong fins ), where they defective ? well yes a variation in genes did it and because it was an advantage it is seen as progress/good/advantageous to that population of fish.

    no 2 humans are the same ( except for identical twins and clones ) .

    all humans are different from each other and so are you.

    so "different" is not only better for u mentally, ie not negative , it is actual more accurate.
