Description Stamp by ChikitaWolf

Update 2018: If you're using this stamp as a response to someone calling you out on using your disorder, disability, etc, as a blatant guilt trip or a way to avoid apologizing for your shitty-ass behavior, then you're using it wrong and you're part of the reason why people like us gotta deal with this crap from others. 


I'm tired of seeing people getting all "righteous" towards those complaining or speaking about their problems.

We all have problems. Stop with the "I'm worse than you", "my disease is worse", "you have no idea", "stop using your disease as a crutch" bull crap.

Aren't we allowed to voice our pains? There's always someone worse out there-- I know that. But still. To sit there and bash someone for voicing their pain... it's obnoxious.

I've been called on using my ADD as a crutch. Well, guess what? I DON'T. The only reason I freely talk about it is so I can friggin' accept it. I don't have ADHD-- or at least, I've been diagnosed a little farther off from it-- but does that mean I'm not suffering? Does that mean I shouldn't attempt to accept it through speaking about it or maybe getting some irritations off my chest about it every once in a while?

We all suffer from disorders, diseases, disabilities, or something of the kind. Why must we compare and snap at each other?

I recently read a conversation about someone speaking of their disease -- a rather annoying disease at that -- and most definately sounding upset through their words. And then someone bursts on about how they "have no idea what real suffering is" and to stop using their "disease as a crutch".

WTF?

Seriously?

GET OVER YOURSELVES.

---

Note: Yes, I know there are variations of suffering depending on the disease, disorder, etc. Nah dip, Sherlock. I still don't see how that gives you the right to bash someone when they're speaking of their pain or suffering. And this isn't about pity-partying or pansies either. I'm talking about diseases, disorders, disabilities, and so on; not paper cuts, knee scrapes, etc. So don't make assumptions too quickly and be mature in your comment(s).

-------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: To be frank, I'm tired of getting comments from people. Especially people who completely miss the point of the stamp, or find some way to twist my words to satisfy their need to be offended and chastise someone.
The stamps are old. I don't really make stamps anymore. I just keep my rants to myself now. Hell, some of my opinions have softened up too in regards to actually caring about those topics these days.
But yeah, comments are disabled now. Thanks to those who offered some interesting insight on any subjects on my stamps!

Ironically there is the cold truth that some people do have it genuinely worse off than you and have your disorder or what-have-you and then some, or cancer, or polio, or some stuff that just makes you stare off into space and not want to listen anymore or talk about this line of conversation ever again. It's happened to me.

Yep. But bashing someone when they're venting about what they're going through? I find that inconsiderate :/

Yeah, it gets to the point where it's almost some kind of backwards dick measuring contest to see who can be the most pathetic. They start dragging in stuff like their real life problems to the point you begin to wonder if they're just making nonsense up off the top of their head for attention's sake. It's quite sad really, especially when both of them are into it. I kind of started that way and then I realized what was happening and said, "You know what dude? I'm going to shut up and tough through my problems with a smile knowing there's always going to be some jerk like you who revels in stuff worse than I have it, thusly tying his self worth not to his successes and strengths, but to his weaknesses and failures, and by extension defining himself as being one of the more worthless people in existence with pride." You know?

My brother has ADHD and aspergers but he never uses it as an excuse for anything but I have seen lots of people using it as an excuse to make people feel sorry for them and one of them didn't even have ADHD in the end

Isn't ADD and ADHD, like, one of the most diagnozed disorders? x'D I always meet people saying they have it when they mostly likely don't, lol.

Pity partying-- well, on dA, it rewards you with trolls and some very irritated people, lol

Yes they are, it's also one of the most misdiagnosed as well.

You have a very good point, I agree that people shouldn't bash on other people because they are suffering themselves. We all go through troubled times but lets make the most of the times we have enjoying the fact that we even lived this long. This may sound cheesy but it is true. God Bless You All.

The thing that people -- both people with disabilities and those without -- need to realize about disabilities (and disorders, and other attributes) is that they are not "part" of you in any way. They're just some thing that happened to your body that you had (and have) no control over. Your disabilities are no more a part of you than your hair color or eye color (or skin color, or nationality, or etc etc). You should not feel ashamed to say "I have ADHD" any more than you would be ashamed to say, "I have blond hair."

Those idiots need to grow the hell up. If they wanna brag/belittle other people about suffering and real diseases, they better have been a cancer patient or something huge, cuz there are a whole bunch of different diseases and disabilities that may not be so drastic (poor choice of words here) but that doesn't mean it's any less serious. There are so many things wrong with me, so many pills and whatever I'm supposed to take, and I almost died at birth from a disability I've had multiple surgeries to get over... but if you saw me or talked to me, you wouldn't know that most people with my problem die in their early thirties or that I've been diagnosed with five types of depression. Just because I happen to mention it doesn't mean I'm shoving my problem on the world or anything, so they can just screw off with their superiority complex and ignore me if they've got problems.

*sigh* Rant over. Sorry. Feel free to hide this comment.

It's also aggrivating when they sit there and (excuse the language) bitch about how much worse off they are... when they don't even know you . I'm so tired of that...

I mean, everyone has their way of handling what they have. Me, I like to speak about it freely. Some write about it. Some rant. Some just keep it to themselves. It's the way we do things . And I don't think someone has the right to sit there and judge them without really knowing them, ya know?

Haha, np~ x3

I know EXACTLY what you mean. *sigghhhh* Oh, well. And about that potty mouth of yours (lol jk) - I'm a billion times worse and would show it if people wouldn't be absolutely floored. XDD I have a really funny story to go with that... lol I sound like a grandma when I say that. XD
As for what I do about handling whatever... I don't. XD Kinda lame, but I don't do anything about anything except neglect the pills. XDD

I'd understand this more if I had a disability or disorder, but I don't. It's hard for those that do have disorders/disabilities, so don't bash them for calling out what they have and the pains that brings. It isn't fair to them, it only brings more pain. If you have more pain than the person you're thinking of bashing... then you should truly understand their own pain, so do you think it would be fair to just go up to them and say "stop this crap of using your disability/disorder as a crutch or whatever because you don't know how hard it is for me"? If one knows pain, one should want to help others with it, not help be the cause of it.
Pain is a hard thing to deal with, especially for those sensitive to it such as certain carriers of a specific disease/disorder.
Look at the people who actually make such comments, though. They probably don't even HAVE anything worse... if they do they're just as bad as you are for calling out the pains and suffering.

I enjoy civil conversations over shoving and name-flinging

And I mean, when ya really think about it, everyone has their opinions anyway . I like hearing what people think and their reasons; I find it interesting Better than snapping at every which person who may think a little differently then you *facepalm*

Orbital-Darkness In reply to ChikitaWolf [2011-07-28 19:43:53 +0000 UTC]

I agree.

Much better indeed. I hate when people just snap at you for thinking one point differently. I'm probably one of the very few people who will listen to reasoning and shove aside such arrogant fools. :/ If somebody is just going to be a bitch or bastard about their opinions then I'm not going to listen because it's likely I'll only be bashed for replying. I listen only to those who are more calm and collected about this stuff or if they really need the help with it. Otherwise I hardly care, they probably have more friends anyways.

Orbital-Darkness In reply to ChikitaWolf [2011-07-28 20:14:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, which is why I never listen to those people. They're always voicing their opinions and not letting you voice yours, so what's the point of listening to them when they won't listen to you?

Is it? Or are people just forgetting that others aren't just THERE for no reason or as maids or that they aren't robots?

Luckily there are a few people who will take the time to listen and understand. Also lucky for the idiots who think they're right and everybody else is plain wrong no matter what the evidence. Too bad for all us open-minded folk. :/
