    Cause I know what I’m talking about, unlike some who just want to shit on a person from some article they don’t personally know. Also the particular comment you are answering is chill enough.

      So the bar for you is generally knowing a non-zero amount of things about mental disorders but for others in this thread it’s having to know the person from the article?

      Setting yourself up for an easy win by default there, smart. What’s not smart is apparently assuming you’re the only one in this thread that is even faintly familiar with mental disorders and therefore others must bow to your subjective opinion.

      You don’t have to know any particular person to know that having a mental disorder doesn’t magically un-asshole them or shield them from all criticism; origin from disorder is an explanation, not an excuse. I know I’d never expect, or frankly want, anyone to suffer my presence if one of my many oddities caused them some kind of significant distress.

          …so, do you have a mental problem or you’re just being an asshole?

              Not everything has an answer and not everything needs to be answered. Given that you think subjective opinion is either objectively right or wrong, it’s incredibly obvious that the idea that someone would give opinion for consideration rather than argument is lost on you.

              Your idea that mental disorders, and one’s opinion of it, constitutes a personality might have something to do with it.

      Oh, so you know this lady and aren’t presuming and making assumptions in exactly the same way as everyone else?

        Yes, I’m using the information given in the article and choose to not make assumptions outside of that.

        I’m also not making moral judgements about her, only about people in the comments showing themselves.
