Mental issues should be taken more seriously and not laughed at. Narcissism, depression are called self pity. PTSD, autism confused for deliberately ignoring when a specific noise can be a trigger. Bipolar for unnecessarily lashing out vs them defending themselves.
Physical issues, such as IC, aren't dealt with any better. They are seen as an over exaggeration, but the pain can hurt as much as period cramps in my case. Adult kinks and fetishes get laughed at. Watching childish things as an adult also gets laughed at. Nothing really seems sacred or protected. Not even home addresses or phone numbers. What is then expected of people? To keep working like mindless drones, not allowed any real enjoyment would be my guess. Drinking, smoking, sex can be bad for you (if you enjoy them). What are you left with then? Yourself to work on, including a reason to keep being part of the cog in the machine. How do normal people self motivate anyways?
