Not everything has to be written off to some mental ailment. (sopuli.xyz)

I see a worrisome tendency to "diagnose" anything in this space as symptoms of any mental or psychological ailment.

Self diagnose is dangerous, diagnosing others is even more dangerous.

I do not doubt many are well intended but someone can be aloof, forgetful, be tired, messy or lazy without that implying one suffers from some undiagnosed issue.

I try to see these "ailments" not as a property of a person, but as a mode of operation of a brain.

Everyone has some stuff going on that's not "ideal" or "perfect". For some it's at a level that it hinders day-to-day life. For others it's unbearable.

I think (self-)reflecting upon that behaviour is helpfull for almost everyone, up to a level. For some it's a necessity.

And completely agree that ideally one has professional help when doing so!
