OCD. I worked with a guy who had to wear black rubber gloves every time he ate food, whether he ate with his hands or with a utensil. He would go all pale and start shaking if he saw someone reach into a bag of chips. Everyone felt like he was judging them for being unclean all the time, because he definitely was. His work area had to be pristine, and he would go off on anyone who misplaced something – even if that thing didn't belong to him, like the office scissors, or a roll of tape. One day I needed a ride after work to pick up my car from the mechanic. When I got into his car, it was piled window to window with moldy unwashed clothes, old black crumpled rubber gloves, cigarette butts literally everywhere, books, trash, shoes, and it reeked. It smelled like death and ancient laundry funk. I didn't say anything, just held my breath as much as possible. Though in retrospect I should have told him his car was fucking disgusting for all the times he recoiled watching me eat a salad.

Germophobes are hilarious to me because they never actually disinfect or sterilize anything properly and even when they do get it partially right all they accomplish is creating a competition free environment for pathogens to reproduce in. Every germophobe I've met is ill at least once a month. They give everyone so much shit about this or that being dirty but they never know what they're talking about. I guess that's what makes their incompetence funny instead of sad.

I hate addicts but mostly I hate the people around them who bend over backwards for them, I hate people who have kids and then go and get addicted to something. You’re a FUCKING RETARD. it just pisses me off so much. They’re so stingy and they never have a job just leech, and then they betray whoever they’re leeching off of and get mad at their host they’ve parasited. Kids of drug addicts get abused and see their parents have sex with a bunch of people, it’s not good for them. Drug addicts are so good at crying and begging for pity and then when you see through it they get mad at you and say “whatever fuck you I don’t need you anyways” while still keeping them in your life, they never actually break up with those people. They have no shame, they will yell at their kids and call them nothing but a setback and scream at them while being a loser druggie who has sex with randoms. It sucks for the kids cause they know they’re not wanted at wherever they’re staying. And being around weirdos, who probably wanna molest the damn kids.

And then you hear the old “She’s sick!” She went and got herself sick and knew she had to come home to her kids, she got addicted to meth while she was out partying at night, which tbh I’d rather have an alkie mom than a decrepit ghoul of a wasting selfish mom

I’m in therapy. But I hate enablers too.

I mean, no shit. It's a mental illness. It doesn't make people behave in a more rational, sensible way and make them function better. You sound retarded.

I was reading up on the previous thread and >>1298152 is fucking spot on about "c-PTSD" being the new favourite thing for BPD-chans to latch on to to dodge the "stigma" on BPD. And specifically this
>>1412269
>it implies greater victimhood which is the most desirable trait in their eyes.
Fucking spot on. I have sympathy for BPD patients who want to get better but as someone who literally developed avPD due to abuse from a BPDfag I can't deal with those who externalize their symptoms and get white rage moments during which they hurt literally everyone around them just to make themselves feel better yet still make the conscious decision not to seek help or even monitor their behavior because they make being the victim their entire identity.

people who have c-ptsd. ive known like 2 people whove had it and all they do is whine and complain ALL DAY LONG. i get that they feel like the world is against them and that theyre all on their own because of traumatic events theyve endured BUT its just draining when youre talking to them and a lot of times they talk, theyre just complaining and using you as a virtual diary. it can get exhausting especially when it feels like they dont even wanna get better. you have to be self aware to a certain extent and realize that theres also good in this world and that everything is not black and white.

Anyone who claims to have C-PTSD instead of just plain ol' PTSD. I've met insufferable PTSD sufferers but most of them seem to want to get past it, while every C-PTSD sufferer I've met make it their entire personality and don't seem to want help.

The ones I know seem weirdly proud of their diagnosis, too

>>1490834
That's the one I really don't get. PTSD still has a stigma attached to it and the public still does not react well when people have panic attacks. I sincerely don't understand why someone would be proud of the diagnosis unless they were proud that they now know what to work on in order to live a better life.

The first part sounded pretty cute ngl

Anorexics. Every anachan I've ever known has been so exhausting to be around, they come across as very self-obsessed and desperate for validation, and sometimes are pretty cruel/judgmental of others as well even if it's not intentional. I feel kind of bad blaming them since I know it's a mental illness (not to mention the brain literally shrinks as a result of starvation so there's a physiological excuse to how retarded they can be), but nowadays I avoid them as much as possible. Also autistic men, even the most high-functioning ones are annoying at best and extremely gross and creepy at worst. This must be a moid thing though since I've never experienced this with autistic women.

'CPTSD' is just a rebranding of BPD

>>1490792
You sound lost.

>'CPTSD' is just a rebranding of BPD
You're wrong but right in a sense, and I wish it weren't like this. The loud ones that want it to be their entire personality are usually living off of their victim mentality and are using the label they prefer because it gets them out of accountability. They're not truly ashamed of their antics or scared of their flashback episodes. BPD has definite symptoms that CPTSD lacks entirely but we get lumped together because of the loud retards and I wish it'd stop.

Eh, not really?
I mean, PTSD (not C in most cases) is the cause of BPD, the difference is that one group of people lives off drama and would make shit up to "feel" something, being abusive because they're bored and want attention and sympathy and most importantly, can't self soothe because they lack the identity they need to figure out what the fuck they want and need so they just project their sorrow to others.
On the other hand, people with ctpsd just really want to be left alone, in fact, people with bpd can actually traumatize people and make them develop ptsd. Hope that makes sense since my english is shit.
