It’s like if I posted thread “I want to warn you against horrid awful people out there with (insert diagnosis)”, I’d probably be warned that this is wrong. If the person wants to discuss stalkers it’s fine, but why mass-diagnosing them?
Yes, I did not notice someone inserting a specific diagnosis. I did comment on how things a poster struggled with can be the result of being exposed to some very dysfunctional individuals, I struggle with that myself tbh. so I am very sympathetic about it. I know Artchic began by just trying to post a warning and is probably recovering from a recent bad experience and is most likely still triggered. Well, I know what that's like because I was also badly triggered when I experienced it myself. Truth is, it can happen to anyone and with that it's always nice to know we are not alone and others can step up and say in a supportive way, "yeah, I hear you me too".
