Often when you reveal you have a mental health challenge, people don't really know how to respond to that and more often than not they tend to be dismissive. They are saying something when they do that about themselves more than about you. Often what they are REALLY showing is their lack of knowledge and understanding and often they can form a resentment not so much to you, but for their own discomfort about their lack of understanding and knowledge and ability to relate.
Thanks for this!
