Wow I'm relieved someone noticed this. I've seen so many people self diagnose themselves and label themselves autistic, ADHD and bipolar often. It's also fairly obvious many are incorrect with their self diagnosis. I've seen people even say their doctor is wrong they have autism, ADHD, bipolar etc when it's obvious they just want a label.
Never did I ever think this would happen. Years ago when someone said they had ADHD, autism or bipolar etc people would avoid them like the plague and call them weird (which it's great that they don't do that anymore) but today it's the opposite, the more labels someone has the "cooler" they are. It doesn't make much sense to me. People need to just accept who they are and not feel the need to add so many labels to seem appealing to others. It's most apparent on social media where people will put their self diagnosis labels in their bios thinking it makes them cooler.
Yeah though i've started being open with my diagnosis on social media to find others who have it easier because its an isolating life. I never entertain anyone who calls themselves self diagnosed.
IIN not being normal or mentally well is trendy now
