I know that mental health is becoming more common which is a good thing and more people are getting diagnosed. But I also have this gut feeling that a lot of people are just claiming they are on the spectrum or have some sort of neurodivergency to not take responsibility for their actions and I do kinda find it annoying that some people are so open about their mental disorders that it seems more like a personality trait that they think is cute or quirky than an actual life altering things

Politically extreme people make looking normal or not being heavily invested in a political party seem taboo and I don’t like it.

Im 15 and freshmen in highschool and go to k-12 and I see kindergarteners talking about politics… and even though I wasn’t alive in the past I feel like that wouldn’t have been the norm. I even see cliques and friend groups at school divided by politics. Has this always been here and I’m going crazy or have people made politics their entire personality???

I watched some today for the first time for shock value like I do from gore and horror movies but this is actually starting to get to me.

My last post was removed and I got a lot of hate from people saying I’m sick and weird.

I’ve been in the mental hospital a few times and have depression ocd and anxiety. Hate on me all you want I just want genuine advice to know if I’m a bad person or not without be unnecessary rude

people from the last post seemed a little misguided claiming I enjoyed watching that stuff but no I only watched it once today and I don’t plan on watching it again I’m just shell shocked

As a black 15 year old myself I find this new trend of white people not being allowed to wear braids and to say “nigga” quite annoying. To me it seems overly obsessive and nosy. I think this new social norm became a thing maybe in 2020 while social media was booming and people were in quarantine and everyone was stuck in their houses. This is also when the Black Lives Matter movement and media about black oppression started taking place and becoming more vocal,
and I think this fueled the fire for this social norm.

Even though I was born in 2011 it seemed like in the past people weren’t as sensitive for other people to where their cultures. And people were less stressed and chill about it.

But now (mostly on social media) you will be verbally attacked or deemed as “racist” or “offensive” to those who don’t want you wearing “their” culture.

I think this uncanny obsession with what people where or say is quite authoritarianistic and rude

And making an already sensitive word like nigga MORE sensitive will make people use it as an advantage to offend more and more people.

I completely understand when it comes to the actual hard R. But other than that I don’t think we should really care all that much.

I’m a 15 year old girl still a freshman in highschool and I watched CP for the first time and feel absolutely disgusting and like a pedophile. I used to think gore was really bad and I kind of became numb and desensitized to it but watching that makes me feel ultra icky. Am I a bad person for letting my curiosity take me this far??… :(
