When a mentally ill person is trying to comfort you and your own family doesn't it means humanity is in the toilet?

No, you can be mentally unwell and still be a nice person, a good friend, and a support to someone in need

@riseofthemachine you’re a special kind of stupid aren’t you? Who needs psychiatrists when we have churches? Stfu

@SW-User I agree

@riseofthemachine prayers don't fix everything and it's rich coming from you not to judge others when you generalize a population of people you don't know.

Don’t blame your shitty family on humanity! And at least that person went out of his or her crazy batshit world to comfort you. You should be grateful anyone cares about you at this point !

'Mentally ill' covers a huge spectrum of people that can be and actually are sound in judgement and character so no, not quite

Often the people who try to comfort others are the ones who have known suffering..

The opposite - that they can show compassion despite having their own difficulties - you should be grateful and remember to reciprocate...

@fun4us2b what he said

It just means your family might be shitty. Why even say “mentally ill”….why not say hey this person outside of my own family was trying to cheer me up while my own family cared less…Lots of people have mental illness. That’s a pretty broad spectrum. Doesn’t mean they can’t try to cheer someone up or care about people. You made yourself look a bit foolish while trying to garner sympathy . 🤷🏻‍♀️ Choose your words and wisely next time.

some mentally ill people are much more sensitive to other people's feelings

@SW-User i don't need psychiatrists in the 1st place or any of there help . Being up there for 15 mins out of 6 weeks , given a great speech by a psychiatrist and hopefully get me through the next 5 and half weeks . Thats some fucking illusion .
Thats why i believe in God , not churches .

@riseofthemachine crack on petal
No, it means that someone who is suffering has still maintained enough of [b]their[/b] humanity to reach out.
I see that as a [b]good[/b] thing.

No!

Why should it?

In any case "mental illness" covers such a broad range of conditions that most mentally ill people are just as likely to be empathetic or sympathetic as anyone else.

(By the mentally ill person).
Example please 😊😊😊

@riseofthemachine like trying to cheer you up when you're feeling depressed.

@LuckyHoe my favourite movie of all time is Bennie & Joanne.
Its the best warmth feeling you wver get from too disabled people that have the best way of shown love .
You should watch it .
Im dealing with people with mental disabilities for the last 24 years . They can be hurtful and i can see why there hurtful so it don't take much out of me know more cause after dealing with for so long .
Some have split personalities disorder.

Mentally ill by who's standards and diagnosis?
LuckyHoe · 36-40, M
@SW-User they told me they've been diagnosed by a psychiatrist that said they have a mental illness that causes them to see things that aren't there plus they killed a rabbit for no reason and admitted it.
Or it means everyone has capacity for empathy
Indy74 · 46-50, F

Chickie · F
No, it means they went out of their way to help a piece of shit excuse of a human like you.
