Mental disorders are a common way of people dismissing a topic they don't understand. It's basically a defense mechanism, so something about you threatens their ideas or beliefs and they don't want to risk damaging the credibility of their views

Maybe the thing that threatens them could be a legitimate mental health problem, but more often than not it's just close-minded rubbish
@TinyViolins or ----or --- maybe he is just being an asshole.....

@MarmeeMarch I'm putting that under "close minded rubbish"
@TinyViolins my reply to you ?

@MarmeeMarch No, no. The asshole part. I'm aware a lot of people enjoy tormenting others, but it's often rooted in a deeply held insecurity
@TinyViolins well you never know what the other guy has to deal with at home -🤷‍♂️
