Mental Illness as well as What You Think of Yourself

Agustus 06, 2017
NOTE:  I wrote this posting inward 2014 too finished it solely today.  Seems relevant.

Crazy addition guns = bad.


Another hateful solar daytime inward America , too some other mass-shooting.  This fourth dimension the loser involved came from a privileged background (most exercise , equally guns are expensive to buy).  His Dad was a moving-picture exhibit manager inward Hollywood , his Mother an actress.  He was going to college inward Southern California too had a brand-new BMW.   Sounds similar a pretty sweetness bargain , no?

No , from his betoken of thought , he was put-upon too his life sucked.   He was criterion his life yesteryear the appearances of others lives.  He idea all the "other guys" had dainty girlfriends too were having corking sexual activity , too for some argue he wasn't getting whatever - too this was an entitlement to him , too it was unfair that he didn't receive got a girl too lots of sex.

He was close equally petulant equally a six-year-old who is denied a novel puppy.  And six-year-olds who throw temper tantrums similar that should live spanked.

Of course of teaching , the guy had mental wellness issues - probable Schizophrenia , which sets inward with immature men inward detail , some historic menstruum 18-25.  The painting palace doofus , the Columbine idiots , the child-killer from Connecticut - all wealthy too well-off suburban white kids , who felt they got a "raw bargain inward life".

But this got me to thinking - what is mental affliction anyway?  And why are these people too thus selfish , petulant , too self-centered?   And why exercise they seem to aid to a greater extent than close what others intend of them , than what they intend of themselves?

I receive got written earlier close mental illness.  Having delineate solid unit of measurement members , friends , boyfriends too girlfriends with pretty severe mental illnesses , I learned a lot over the years.   And the top dog things I learned are (1) mentally sick people are annoying too selfish , (2) they volition latch onto you lot too travail to ruin your life , if you lot allow them , too (3) don't travail to "help" them but move out that to professionals.   You can't set people , too thus don't travail - it is really , really dangerous.

Of course of teaching , the douchebag inward California couldn't acquire set because he was crazy , too girls don't dig crazy.   They dig a guy with a BMW with movie-star parents , fifty-fifty if you lot receive got a somewhat strange looking confront (a novel haircut too a fiddling plastic surgical physical care for too Voila!).  In fact , inward superficial Southern California , it would live difficult not to acquire laid if you lot had that variety of wealthy background.   You'd actually receive got to operate at it.

And hell , fifty-fifty if that didn't operate , for chrissakes , move to Vegas too acquire a hooker.   I hateful , really.   We all want his Dad had done this for him , at this point.

But getting dorsum to crazy people , the mutual denominator was this incredible selfishness too self-centered attitude.   A consummate lack of empathy for others.   One immature lady I knew would bore you lot for hours close "her problems" too "what her therapist said".   Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 man child I knew would move along too on close his "meds" too his troubles too and thus on.  They made mental wellness a hobby , too were too thus concerned close their ain well-being that , ironically , they destroy their ain well-being!

Now , don't acquire me incorrect , it is OK to live "selfish" on occasion too hold off out for your ain interests.  But sometimes this turns into a feedback-loop too becomes self-destructive.   The looney-toons people tend to pass to much fourth dimension on introspection - worrying close every fiddling thing , every emotion , every ache too pain.  They can't allow move of the Id , or is the Ego , I forget which.   They can't but say , "you know , fuck it , I'm non going to worry close that also much" too displace on.

Panic attacks are i aspect of this , too some of the crazy folks I receive got known receive got had those.  They are crippling , equally they Pb the sufferer to believe horrific things are going to happen.   Again , the gist number is caring also much close yourself too also much close life.   You are going to top someday , too it volition live messy.   And every hateful solar daytime , you lot accept risks that absolutely awful things volition laissez passer on - a automobile accident , falling downward the stairs , beingness mugged , making a misfortunate sartorial alternative - whatever.   Somehow these folks can't allow move too accept those risks , which are magnified 1 ,000-fold.

And that is deplorable for them , but in i trial again , it is a pain-in-the-ass for the remainder of us , equally crazy people cease upwardly beingness unsettling , disturbing , annoying , too downright selfish.   And since they cease upwardly beingness shunned equally a effect , the feeback-loop amplifies yesteryear a component of 1 ,000 , too the gain is cranked upwardly until their whole life is but introspection too far also much naval-gazing.

Pretty shortly , you lot foremost to believe crazy things - that you lot got a raw bargain inward life , too that people are laughing at you lot too that it matters what other people are proverb or thinking close you.   The Columbine idiots shot upwardly their schoolhouse only weeks earlier they were to graduate.   It makes no feel at all - you lot are close to leave high schoolhouse too never hold off back , too thus what exercise you lot do?   Ruin your life too that of dozens of others - too examine to the basis that you lot are the loser that "everyone" says you lot are.

Don't similar high school?  Graduate - too leave.   Don't similar college?  Graduate - too leave.   Move on with life too halt obsessing.


UPDATE:  Many on the Right too Left today are trying to construct the declaration that the crazy-guy-with-a-gun who shot members of Congress playing baseball game was motivated yesteryear politics too non but crazy.  Even the New York Times goes out of their agency to say he was but a "normal" variety of guy who lived inward a van.  That's normal , right?   And he was serenity too kept to himself , except for the times he went inward the dorsum yard to burn downward off a few hundred rounds of ammo - until the neighbors complained.   And eventually the neighbors gave upwardly on complaining because he did it too thus much.  And he dragged his immature lady downward the stairs yesteryear the pilus too threatened her fellow with a shotgun.   You know , normal things.

The Right wants to sell this narrative equally , let's confront it , his lead describes a lot of their followers.   And they desire to move far seem similar it is a political narrative.   And oddly plenty , the Left wants to exercise likewise - he was driven crazy yesteryear Trump!   Any normal soul would , right?

Wrong.  Just some other crazy guy with a gun.  Just some other hateful solar daytime inward America - until nosotros create upwardly one's hear that crazy + gun = bullshit.   And that ain't close to laissez passer on anytime soon.
