Perna: "can you give an example of how they display this "better than" behavior?"

Tosspot: "I've been struggling at work lately with staff members calling people "bipolar" as an insult."

Thank you,Perna, for asking and i beleive Tosspot gave a perfict one.

i can give another though...
i was talking to one of my roomates the other day and happened to say, "all women are crazy" which is a simple, narrow, statement i hear every so often, mostly by men.
she says, "well, maybe you are, but i know im not.. im a stronger person than that." this was a broad statement not only pertaining to bi-polar but all of my mental set backs.
but it realy tuged at my stoumach, and made me feel sick.
Sick because i know that's how she feels about about alot of things.
...and it made me start to notice that i get alot of comments like that.
so, stupidly, i took it personaly.
untill i realized that it honestly isnt only me.
i am much more aware now that people way to often use mental disibalitys and physical ones as direct insults
...and on a list that grows increacingly every day, i very much dislike it!
