Why do people keep throwing around mental issues/diagnoses and claiming them as if they're some great thing to have? Do you think they make you "special" or what? Because that's not true. They certainly don't make you special, considering you're like all the other kids (yes, you're a child legally) doing the same thing for this "trend". Is it because of the shows you guys are watching or what? Hopefully it's not to fit in, because yet again, you're not special for pretending to have something you don't have. You do realize people actually have these issues (and struggle on a daily basis with them) and that it's not right to make light of their issues or struggles,
right?
Not to mention that most of your definitions of these diagnoses are completely wrong. Sociopaths and psychopaths don't feel any emotion at all. They can fake human emotion, but they can't feel it. Many can't cry either; I know you do or at least you've said you have before. So if you were lying about the crying, you're either a compulsive liar or you're just attention seeking. Either way, a sociopath or psychopath wouldn't do either of those things, not to mention that they wouldn't gloat about being one. I've seen you express human emotion on many occasions (usually attention seeking behaviors), so I know that you're neither of these. Do some actual research. Read the DSM-V. That way you'll learn about the actual diagnostic criteria for these diagnoses. Then again, I don't really understand why anyone would want to claim such a serious issue. That's like claiming schizophrenia...
Pretending to be depressed, cutting, or having other issues related to that is no better either. Seriously people, grow up. You have no idea what you're asking for. Go to a local psych ward... take Abnormal Psychology... then you'll learn. You'll see how idiotic you're being. Maybe it's because you're young, I don't know. Maybe you'll out grow it; again, I don't really know the answer to that.
But people, please... either look up definitions of disorders/illnesses before you try to claim them or realize that having an actual mental diagnosis
does not make you special or set you apart from other people around your age.
No sane person wants to have mental issues. I swear, all of you people claiming to have all these diagnoses is the exact reason I'm working on ways to dispel misconceptions about them right now. Honestly, it's getting ridiculous and it's not "cute" or "funny" either.
