There's a misconception about people who are mentally ill

This post is a response to another post and user that made the mistake of generalizing that all mentally ill people are just mean assholes or that we shouldn't go out of our way to help our peers or friends from the goodness of our heart because they think we are too sick to actually care about others.

I can't speak for everyone but usually we are just overwhelmed and want to be left along everyone has that one asshole in the group but that doesn't mean we all are that way. It really pissed me off because there were times when I made the mistake of being vulnerable towards people I thought I could trust and they ended up using it against me.

It's disgusting how they try to make is look like we're barely human.
