Some just do it because they think it’s cute or funny (oh I like to clean so I have OCD oh I get upset so I have PTSD). I find it deeply offensive to people who actually have true diagnosis and actual illness or disability.

Yes...and people getting "triggered" by everything, when they don't understand being triggered isn't just feeling an emotion. When you're triggered it's having a real episode that you can't control. It's not just feeling an emotion. Ug.
