Idk why you're focussing on that shit and twisting it. I thought it would be pretty obvious to anyone that that wasn't what I was trying to convey, but it seems like there's something personal here for you and that's why you're keeping on escalating and moving far from what I actually said. I'm sorry to hear that, but the projecting isn't necessary.
"Danger to self or others" is a very specific legal phrase. When you go around accusing people of being a "danger to self or others", you're communicating that someone's mental illness has reached the point where you think that doctors and police should be intervening even if the person themself wants to be left alone. This can mean getting them committed in a psychiatric facility against their will, having them put in jail, or having authorities attempt to do one of these things and having the whole deal go south, usually to the detriment of the person dealing with mental illness. Police are not well-trained in how to deal with these kinds of calls and 60% of people wrongly killed by police are mentally ill; many of these are a result of "wellness checks" called in by friends or family.
If that's not what you want, you shouldn't be using the phrase. It's a very dangerous phrase that you should use if and only if you really mean it. It's the nuclear bomb of talking about people with mental illness and it can literally get them killed.
"He should see someone before he hurts himself or others."
This is what you said. This is not something remotely acceptable to say unless you're ready to let that person get sectioned, arrested, or killed. I don't care about whether you acknowledge this today, but I do care that you accept it before someone in your life gets hurt. This is not an okay thing to randomly toss out about people because you think they're acting a bit weird.
