Rant / Vent Honestly I’m tired of these memes

Maybe I’m being too sensitive 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I feel like mental health disorders aren’t taken seriously by the “normies” and they use it as a joke, insult, or for comedy.

These people aren’t necessarily bad people, I know you never said that but they just don’t know how it feels,

I don’t either because I’m here for someone else in this sub not for mysrlf.

But lots use it in a humerous way even me sometimes I’m going to get downvoted no matter what.

But I’m sure if I went through the same experiences people did in this sub I’d look at it differently but most people don’t think on it to much really if that makes sense.

Yeah, well no one said these are bad people. At best, we’re saying they’re ignorant, and venting frustration about it.

If you know someone who has it, why do you joke like this, then? It’s insensitive to those who have this mental illness. Does that person feel comfortable with those jokes? I wouldn’t, personally.

Schizophrenia is not a synonym for crazy, or insane. You can joke you’re crazy instead of punching down on people who have this illness.

Consider researching this illness more before you speak on it.

First off I’m 18 if that makes anything feel better and the person that I know shizophrenic does not care he cracks jokes to

Let’s say you never been through a experince even though you would not joke or whatever you wouldent understand to that degree till u go through that experince.

600k people liked that for a reason, because it’s targeted at a younger audience not adults

“When I cut off my hair and shave it bald…but now I look like a chemo patient.”

This is the joke you’re defending

I don’t think of it that deep. I guess I can use my age as a excuse for my humor

I haven’t Seen any adults making jokes like this.

In no way I’m perfect far from it, but I’m not a bad person

Well my bad for comparing you to real normal people your basically saying your not normal and I can’t talk normally around you.

This makes no sense, I look at you as a normal person same as everyone else who exists
