They ONLY situation you should self-diagnose is when you are planning to visit a highly trained professional regarding your issues and to get help. Even then you should know that you are more than likely at least 80% wrong about it.
It should go down like this:
Patient: I have been experiencing this, this, and this lately. I looked it up on the internet and got some scary results. Depression and blah blah blah being the most concerning. Can you help?
Doctor: Yes.
So my unpopular opinion:
Self-diagnosis for mental illnesses is okay in some circumstances.
So no. Not okay. I wouldn't use it as an excuse for poor behavior either.
As the doctor I shadowed said, "Don't listen to Dr. Google. He will without fail tell you the worst possible scenario."
Lol I love that

Super important. Share it and spread it
^Not to be rude, but could you please stop posting that everywhere? Not that that isn't an important thread, but what you're doing is spam, and also really inconsiderate. The general forum is by far the most active one on this site so people are still pretty likely to see it without you posting it in other threads. If you want more people to see it, why don't you share it on social media? Or show it to some of your irl friends/family?
I'm going to repost @"The Grammar Queen"'s post since it got buried, and I think it's an interesting topic

Iβm sorry I just want everyone to see and spread it. Continue with your debating.
Yeah. Some dogs suck.
^ A very compelling argument.
Anyways, as far as aggressive dogs go, I feel like the problem almost always lies with irresponsible owners, which means a couple different things:
*My dog was attacked by another dog on my street while I was walking him one day. The owner claimed that he was "usually super friendly" and "has never done anything like this before." However, when I went home and told my mom, she knew exactly which dog it was because she's seen this owner having troubles controlling the dog and has also seen the dog barking and growling at other dogs. Doesn't strike me as a super friendly dog :/ And that made me really mad because that's both ignorant and irresponsible on the owners part. How can you claim your dog is friendly if he's constantly growling at other dogs?
There's so many things that this owner could have done to have prevented that from happening, but the biggest problem to me is that she seemed to be in denial of her dog's behaviour problems. We all love our pets, but it's important to recognize these kinds of issues.
TLDR; Irresponsible owners are actually the ones that suck.
v Thanks :)
Very well put!
I always blame the owner when it comes to unruly pets. Honestly, If you are willing to take on the responsibility of having a pet then you should have the time and energy and will to make sure that it is well behaved.
This goes for children as well.
Salty much?
I despise poorly behaved children.
Well, to be fair, sometimes the child might have a mental disorder or something that could cause them to act up even if the parent was doing all they could to keep them under control⦠But yeah most of the time parents just suck at caring for their children
More often than not, that is not the case. My brother is the most well behaved, even with the troubles he has.
I recommend whacking them more tbh. Americans are too soft on their children.

Violence isn't the way to discipline children.
Sometimes, sometimes not. I was speaking in a rather casual manner. Eris wrote something rather good on the subject earlier.
Canβt find it. Must have been on a different thread.
I think that debate was in the Rudeness chat
But violence incites fear, and therefore using it to discipline children causes not only fear to mess up but also fear of the parent.
I disagree with hitting kids. I don't think it's necessary. At the VERY most, a small slap on the wrist if a very tiny child does something urgently terrible. Otherwise, kid knows reason, kid doesn't need to be beaten.
What I said before:
I grew up with spanking as well, but it did not have a poor impact on my life. Not one that I am aware of anyway. It's pretty normal to get smacked in a hispanic family, you know that your family member isn't trying to hurt you, you were just acting like an ass. Nor am I afraid of my mother because of it, that's just nonsense.
I think that jumping straight to physical punishment is wrong. There should be respect even between a young child and their parent. Children should be taught reasonably how to properly behave and the difference between right and wrong, before being subjected to punishment. They should have the chance to learn/ test boundaries/ express themselves just like anyone else.
Generally speaking, in a normally functioning family, a child knows when they are being naughty and expect some kind of 'event' in direct causation to what they have done. So fear isn't particularly a good word to use in this scenario.
If most children are like me they kinda got off on the high of maybe getting in trouble for shit.
Well whatever the case, a lot of kids (especially in white suburban American families) behave badly as well as not getting spanked. I see a correlation.
Iβm not saying always whack your kids, but if youβve done any raising of kids, you probably know they need it sometimes.
Now for something a little more controversial; drag. Iβm against it, though up until this year I was pretty chill with it. What do you think?
Drag as in racing?
or
Drag as in Drag Queen?
Drag queens.
