anecdotally most people irl seem to have some kind of mental illness. especially if you stretch it to "anxiety" "self esteem issues"

My biggest issue is the demand that mental illness and physical illness be treated as exactly the same. They are not. At least to some degree a mental illness actually IS part of the personality of the person who suffers from it. You can't just splint up a BPD.
-
careful, if we went down that road then we might start noticing how chronic physical illness becomes part of the personality of the person who suffers from it as far as everybody else is concerned, leading us to issue them all the punishments of a bad personality

It's like body positivity. We shouldn't stigmatize overweight and obese. But we shouldn't be glorifying them as "healthy" either.

there's an unfortunate tendency in our culture to want to construct social identities out of traits. consequences of atomization, basically. best not to feed that beast. my take on it is that people should just acknowledge that everyone has their own configuration of traits.
-
stigmatizing or valorizing a configuration of traits is just a social judgment. deeply super-egoic type of thinking. but individuals are the ones who _have_ the traits and have to deal with them one way or another. constantly litigating the social status of traits is weird.
