one time in high school i was telling a friend how frustrated i felt because the teacher told me off for not following an instruction i hadnt heard, and i said to this friend if it was so important it should have been written on the board.

her response: "Well... it's on you to be able to hear."

so thats kind of what the pathologizing vs humanizing symptoms post reminds me of

#like i get what they mean but boy is it worded badly and is a glaring reflection of their internal biases #yes communicating like that will often be more effective.#no i dont think its appropriate to label one 'pathologizing' and the other 'humanizing'#because guess how else you could phrase it #'i did x because i have y condition. but im sorry i hurt you and i will try not to hurt you like that again'#vs 'i did x because what you did made me feel y.' (end of statement)#isnt it sO mUcH bEtTeR when you use humanizing statements :)#like please. come on. what a charade #'namedropping symptoms' vs 'describing symptoms' is not even a new concept. this is just a worse version with an agenda #this post took 'its not your fault but it is your responsibility'#and turned it into 'actually you SHOULD talk about it like its your fault'#.vxt
