I need to stop describing myself to people as being mentally ill π
I mean, people might start to believe that if you keep repeating that phrase in describing yourself to others.
I have different ideas then might be popular in society, like the worship of polyvinyl chloride, a material I despise on so many levels. I just despise the lawns of suburbia, the smart televisions, the marble countertops, the green veneer of electric cars and solar panels on the roofs of McMansions. I don’t want to live life the normal way, with the 2 1/2 kids attending a good school.
Is it a tougher row to hoe? Yes. But not wanting such things doesn’t officially make you mentally ill, because mental illness is defined in the context of being non-functional in society, rather then simply rejecting tacky societal norms.
