When I see this posted about certain people , it angers me so much

"THEY WERE ALWAYS NICE/KIND TO ME"


It does not vindicate the person and you're belittling the experience or trauma that others may have experienced, you're high and mighty opinions are traumatising to others, so maybe hold up and think before you go around spouting how such and such a person was always lovely/kind or whatever, or how their illness excuses their behaviour.

I have worked in psych lockdown. In a psychiatric setting if a patient does something illegal like attacks someone, Attacks someone with a weapon, or even tries to kill someone that patient is not held accountable for breaking the law

So why do we sit there and expect mentally ill people to behave normally when in a real world scenario they wouldn’t even be held accountable for their actions?

I never said to excuse such and such for being kind or nice I said to understand the fact that there are mentally ill people and to not take their behavior personally

Mentally ill people do not deliberately engage in these unwanted behaviors if anything they desperately want to not engage in those behaviors

If you have the power to block someone and to remove them from causing harm to you Through social verbal interaction why wouldn’t you do that? Why choose to shift the blame onto the mentally ill person that cannot help their behavior?

It genuinely doesn’t make sense to me and then lash out at me because I said something group majority doesn’t agree with 🤦‍♀️
@DeluxedEdition It's how groups work right? It reinforces group identity to support the current "group think"...

@DeluxedEdition I have mental health issues and I don’t think we can assume someone has no control over sexually predatory behaviour just because they have a mental illness

Not speaking to this particular case, but I’m uncomfortable with this premise
