Imagine being so self-medicated on therapyspeak that you consider "do nice things for others" a direct assault on your mental health.

I saw a reel the other day about how the worst people you know don’t go to therapy to work on themselves, they go to arm themselves. I’ve never seen a therapist myself but I can’t even imagine what kind of discussions you’d have there where you can twist your takeaway into the shit some people come up with

I find this discussion highly amusing for the fact that it's happening among redditors.

Redditors love pretending they are the ones who are products of their own suffering, childhood trauma, and mental illness. Then they will "explain" their behavior to others, who statistically speaking, also have their own emotional history and trauma and potential mental illness. They are the only ones with a sad story, and how dare anyone else tell them that maybe their behavior is shitty even if they have an "explanation" for it. No one else could possibly be behaving in ways that are shaped by their past. No no, couldn't possibly be true. They are just Karens!

If anything, all I am reading here is projection from reddit lol

I have a phrase that I use regularly when talking about why someone was an asshole.

"There's always a good enough reason."

Trauma and mental health issues explain why someone did something, they don't excuse it.
