#but I can't actively claim it without a proper diagnosis

How you get me to adore your and follow you around like a lost puppy

It makes me happy when they listen

rant anon here. i wasn’t talking about people being upset because they’re being fakeclaimed, i was referring to the attention-seeking fakers who claim to have ASPD without a formal diagnosis. i couldn’t care less if someone gets fakeclaimed, if they can’t prove their dx then that’s their problem. and i mask because a majority of the active accounts on here see themselves as the ethics police and it’s so cringe. if i was myself they’d actually hunt me down. lastly, sure doctors make mistakes. but you cannot seriously tell me that you think an uneducated teenager is better equipped to diagnose than a professional with years of experience and education.

i'm not interested in discussing this, as i stated i'm pro self-dx and see no point in what u r saying. obviously not all teenagers are uneducated, not all doctors aren't. however, as u may notice i have some problems with authority figures so that may play a role in it lol

and idk i've seen antisocials talk about all kinds of things here and on other platforms, even downright immoral like hurting animals or others, so you'll most likely find people who'll stick up with you and i also don't think it's good to want to avoid criticism that much because you still need to be held accountable for your actions no matter if they stem from a disorder

just my thoughts tho ofc, feel free to disagree but don't bring up the self-dx argument bc u won't change my mind, i believe with proper research you can rightfully understand yourself and maybe better than a psychiatrist, many of whom rely on outdated standards for assessment which will only fit a specific and reduced group and leave out cases where symptoms manifest differently

also, in my experience professionals often get their ego hurt when you show up informed about their field, i've had a psychiatrist laugh at me because i knew the accurate definition to multiple disorders and then say i couldn't be autistic because i can leave my house and have friends

and there are tons of stories like mine and tons of people who can't afford a diagnosis, and then there are tons of wrong diagnosis and, sure, tons of right ones too, but why would we rely on this percentage to decide if a person's worthy of being listened to?
