I never said they weren’t nor did I clarify they actually had mental illness. My original comment said to top using it as an excuse. You also shouldn’t assume things about people you don’t know just because the have a different opinion than you
You may not be excusing the behavior nor may have you experienced people who have. Clearly, I have come in contact with a few people who have—a bunch of people actually. There’s a whole bunch of people who glorify and romanticize mental illness and those people tend to excuse and justify their unacceptable actions. There is no step to recovery because they view it as being nothing wrong with them. Edited: for clarity
THANK YOU. I’m so tired of people using mental health as an EXCUSE for bad actions and treating people poorly. It is not an excuse nor is it a get a jail free card to act however the fuck you want. Edited: spelling
