the lefty cringe posted in /politics confirms it

Yes, so conservatives are reporting themselves healthy, but that means that liberals are also self-reporting bad mental health. In a way it's more meaningful than having imperial data because it captures self-image, too

Consider what kind of scenario an alternative would be.

Conservatives just lack self-awareness

Acknowledging mental health issues isn't a bad thing...

Other side of that coin is the self imposed victim / burden mentality where the more things wrong that demand accomodations, the more special you are.

That's how you get eight-spirit no-gluten vegan multiple personality seasonally depressed pyrsyns who don't know where to pee... They crave the attention. The intersectional attention defines them.

I prefer people who work their problems and seek solving them and returning to healthy.

Being "special" is deemed by the people around that person, not them. If someone is purposely doing things to gain attention, the people who treat them differently are the issue. Either way, you are not the person eligible to confirm whether someone is faking an illness. A patient's well-being should be confirmed by a doctor.

Your post is extremely ironic. You posted statistics about mental health and are acting as if it's "cool" or "better" to be unaware of health issues. You're just another attention seeker.
