So i was surfing the netz and came across this



I wonder why it is that people get all insulted and offended... by the term "emotional". As if they'd rather have broken brain and nothing than a broken brain...

Yes, I do think most of what we call "mental illness" is indeed to huge degree emotional problems. Inability to handle and express emotions in right and healthy way. Problems with dealing with emotions.

For me it's invalidating to say it's all genetics or that I feel the way I feel because my brain produces little of this chemical and too much of that chemical. Just... no.

I think we have problems with emotions in societal level... many emotions are considered bad (sad is bad, angry is bad, too enthusiastic is bad (because it annoys and confuses boring bland people, I suppose)... we are not taught how to handle emotional problems.

So why is it people feel "emotional problems" is oh-so-offensive? I am not getting it.
