Unfortunately, when the people who deserve it are in the majority, it makes me seem like the asshole.
Like the “everybody smells like dogshit” argument, except that I did check and there’s no dogshit on my shoes. It turns out everyone else has been rolling around in it to make their dear leader feel less embarrassed about stepping in some.
It’s the Emperor’s New Clothes…
But still, they say it must be me. Couldn’t possibly be that the majority are in the wrong. Never that!
I agree. Mental health isn’t taken seriously enough. People are still looked down on for seeking help so they don’t go.
You are a very pleasant human to have a discussion with.
I for one believe that walking around with a sword on my hip would be great for my mental health.
Like. “Yeah, that’s a sword. No, I don’t intend to use it. Do you intend to give me a reason to? 🤨”
Most people seem to disagree, but then again I find them unpleasant, so it could be selection bias
Most people suck.
My partner describes himself as an asshole, but isn’t to everyone. Just people that honestly deserve it.

My aunt is one of those people. I don’t talk to her. She probably thinks I’m an asshole. I’m okay with it because at least I’m not like her.
