[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 653569, member: 1550"] If somebody will say it out loud, usually it isn't true and is meant just to hurt or to make them let you know they are the "normal" one. Even if we do label people in our heads, and I'm sure I'll still do it too, that doesn't mean our label is correct. Even psychiatrists can make mistakes. It is a very inexact science right now. In my youth, autism was thought to be (at least in the U.S.) a very serious form of schizophrenia caused by (can't forget this little slam at mothers) "refrigerator moms." It was the mother's fault. Of course, we now know that autism isn't a psychiatric issue at all, but a neurological difference. I'm a self-taught scholar of psychology, yet the more I learn, the less I trust that everything won't be way different even in five years. If psychiatrists don't know what people have, we don't either. We can choose to stay away from people who cause drama or trouble or are malicious without giving the person a label. I really don't care what somebody is labeled. If you love drama, cause your own drama, drink too much, or are malicious in intent, and I've known a few, then I just stay away. I really don't understand why people are like that. I heard something interesting on a YouTube Psychiatrists's tape last night. "There is no such thing as true hate Hate is pain and hurt, nothing more." I don't know if everyone agrees, bit as he explained it, I agreed with him. [/QUOTE]
