I notice here on these boards and in other places too that so many behaviours seem to be being pathologised, to the point where I wonder if there's any meaning to it anymore? It seems to me that its lazy thinking to class something as a pathology when its actually perfectly normal. I mean do I have patholgical fire avoidance because I dont' want to get burnt?
Yes.
I'm quite tired. But these are good conversations to have. Along with behaviours which are expected and 'typical', which should be pathologies but aren't.
what'ho whovian in good stead! Good to see you back! I think the line is "does it interfere in quality of life?" that's the only question I would use. I can't answer for others. they will have to figure themselves out.
It's interfered with many aspects of my life, oh yes.
But what doesn't break you, makes you stronger.
And when it has "broken me" well bones heal stronger don't they?
I think your mind can be the same.
to be fair, what doesnt kill you often makes your crippled or traumatised instead of making your stronger lol
So it goes, brother. So it goes.
