But that doesn't stop the throwing around of "dissociation" & self-dx-ing from rustling my jimmies, however. It could be construed as, dare I say, ableist?
Y'know, growing up, kids around me would
-- falsely boast about having skills they didn't have,
-- Claim accomplishments that were incapable of accomplishing
-- claimed to know famous people they had no chance of actually knowing.
If you took everyone's word for it, everyone at school was a secret ninja who knew David Lee Roth before he was famous and whose dad was in the CIA.
Soooooo, in other words, they were boastful assholes; but you could defeat them by actually accomplishing IRL all those things they only claimed to have accomplished, learned the skills they claimed to already have, etc.
Today, everyone claims to have diseases and disabilities and weaknesses that they DON'T have.
Instead of trying to portray themselves as nearly superhuman demigods worthy of awe and emulation; they pretend to be crippled, ignorant losers worthy of scorn and objects of pity.
This mindset is inexplicable and alien to me.
It was getting so bad that Stryker the Stoner Muhreen and his GI Joe fantasies filled me with hope and nostalgia.
The Tumblr crowd makes me long to put the entire Homo Sapiens species out of its misery.
