People like to pathologize ANY sort of behavior that is even a tiny bit off. Sadly, this doesn't happen just in the general public, but in the psych community as well. I have a friend who feels like he can't do anything in front of his treatment team because no matter what his behavior is, they will say it is a symptom of his disorder. He can't be angry because that is "proof" of his diagnosis (which he disputes). He can't get excited, he can't get sad. These are NORMAL human emotions but it seems like anything outside of "perfect" is considered to be a disorder. Its really sad that people don't understand that its not a disorder unless it interferes with normal human functioning. That is, normal people get sad, excited, etc. It does NOT mean you have a disorder!
