You've been attempting to make definitive assertions re: BDD the entire thread bud. At the end of the day we're both just making extrapolations based on the diagnostic criteria. If you're going to claim I'm not qualified, you're right-- but then neither are you. How about applying the standards you've just set for me to yourself too.
The only "assertions" I've made are pointing out the criteria that psychiatrists use to diagnose "BDD" in patients. I'm not making value judgments or giving ultimatums, unlike you:
Even leaving that out, if you are obsessed with your physical appearance to the point that it prevents you from living a normal life and contributing to society, you're sick.
You're not a psychiatrist, and aren't qualified to make this assertion. Neither do you have the right to be judge and jury as to what constitutes being "sick" or not. Hypocrite.
More idealism. "should, should, should". At some point you have to look at the world and accept it for what it really is. Your psychiatry is subsidized by society
My "psychiatry" wasn't "subsidized by society", you presumptuous imbecile. When I did visit a therapist, I paid out of pocket. "Society" didn't have anything to do with it.
because we hope that unstable people like yourself will eventually become less of a danger to the rest of us
LMFAO at trying to portray me as a dangerous villain and "society" (i.e. you) as innocent victims. You're trash.
, & hopefully one day contribute like most people do.
I would rather die than contribute anything to scum like you.
Ending suffering is a very positive side effect, but if that's all we got out of the deal the system would not work.
Right, that deal doesn't work!
But when society discriminates and oppresses short people to the point that they end up in psychiatrist's offices, or on forums like this one, or even committing suicide, and then get shamed for demanding solutions, they're expected to "suck it up" and "contribute to society" - the same society that caused their problem in the first place, and that deal totally works, right?
If society causes people to develop height dysphoria by way of its bigoted and discriminatory standards, then it should pay the price to the people it victimizes. Oppressors do not have the right to demand "something out of the deal".
Society's probably too broad, but if your conscience doesn't tell you that you owe your family some kind of debt for keeping you alive & putting up with all your BS as a kid-- you actually are still a little kid. No wonder you're obsessed with how you look despite supposedly being an adult.
LOL. You moralizing piece of garbage. Who do you think you are to lecture other people on "conscience" when you callously demand that the oppressed pay their oppressors for the privilege of being oppressed by them?
I don't "owe" anyone anything. This post by myloginacct perfectly sums up my thoughts on this matter:
Parents owe a responsibility to their kids for making a conscious decision to put them in this world. Again, I'm guessing you were lucky enough to have had a mostly normal life with caring parents. That's great. That being the case, you'll definitely feel indebted and grateful to them. That's not how anyone who grew up in an abusive household feels.
I didn't ask to be born. Nobody put a gun to my parent's heads and made them have a child. If my "family" didn't want to spend the money to raise or take care of me, they could easily have given me up for adoption, kicked me out of the house, or straight up aborted me.
Saying I "owe my family some kind of debt" for raising me is like saying I should pay a restaurant if one its servers forcibly drags me in, sits me at a table and brings me five thousand dollars' worth of food I didn't order.
The way you talk leads me to believe you view having children as an business venture, as if you're expecting a "return on investment" for going through the trouble of raising a child. It's disgusting. My initial analysis of you was spot on. You're a parasite.
You baby boomers can't die fast enough. Virtue signalling scum.
