It is profoundly psychologically damaging to be forced to cooperate (work, live, socialize) with such people who tacitly dehumanize those they do not understand with casual and capricious ease, such as the way the top level commenter dismisses the OP with a superficial and borderline bad faith analysis of the link at hand.
No one should ever have to justify their feelings. That’s it’s. That’s my point. Hard stop.
As a society, culture, community we need to get to the point where we respect the feelings of others implicitly. Feelings are not equations, there are no right or wrong answers. By implicitly acknowledging all the feelings of others we are respecting each other and nurturing common ground where we can discuss the differences that underlie perception and create an environment ripe for interpersonal growth. Failure to do so breeds resentment and festers in the homes, workplaces, and communities where the feelings of some are neglected.
"I don't need to see continual Facebook posts about it."
Framing someone's struggle purely in terms of how it annoys you makes you come across as something other than empathetic.
I did. I also read this post.
Saying you are empathetic while also uniformly dismissing those you claim to empathize with doesn't ring too clear. No evidence of empathy, lots of evidence of dismissal.
Just my 2c as someone looking at how the issue has been framed.
Oh, you have the gall to mention how depression or anxiety manifests in your life? You better stop flaunting your psychological frailty!
