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?

  • I have been known to think of myself amongst the bungled and the botched; but then that's what makes me human. Try comparing yourself to some of the increasingly BS characters who are currently thought of as 'successful' in the shallow world of Facebook and Twitter moments These supposed effectives almost always end up looking somewhat defective in the longer term.. I find that it helps me not to take my way of doing things too seriously. I can laugh at my own way of doing things, but can also see that my own conduct suits my life better than some supposed expert's prescription.
