Weird of me, but some of those labels you hate are ones that I'd like to have.

"anorexic" -- I've been struggling with an eating disorder for years, but I am constantly doubting that my ED would qualify as anorexic.

"emo/goth" -- That would have been my preferred crowd when I was a teen, but the emo/goths at my school considered me to be too pathetic for them (and they were right.)

The major label glommed onto me would be "not good enough." I don't make friends easily. I didn't do well in school. I spent much of my life standing there stupidly and not knowing what was going on. If only I were smarter, or more successful, or more graceful, or more in tune with other people, then I'd be accepted.

There could be people looking at you thinking "I wish I could be as smart or as creative or as independent-thinking as she is."

People focus so much more on their own problems that they barely notice other people's problems. Their negative labels are more about what they want to believe about themselves; that their lives are more dependable and secure. They don't want to imagine that there would ever be a time when their minds or bodies betray them, but no one is completely immune to these scary things.
