I notice a lot of people use terms like "psychotic" or "psychopath" as insults and negative descriptions on here. These are clinical terms that are used to describe real people with difficulties, not boogeymen! I don't disagree with the sentiment that these people are doing wrong, but if you wouldn't use the r-slur or "autistic" as an insult (which you shouldn't) then you shouldn't use these words either. And I get the idea of calling someone delusional, but take care that you don't just mean "I disagree with them." Though by posting on neurodiverse I imagine I'm preaching to the choir.
Sincerely, a casual schizoaffective disorder haver.
My job is surprisingly in a good place with that stuff right now. That hasn't been the case most o the time I've been there though. If it was bad enough, we say something to management. Sometimes I just have to let it roll off my back though. That doesn't mean I partake, but I tell myself "they're the one being shitty. Just because it hits my ears doesn't make me complicit". I wish we lived in a world where we could stand up every time, but that's just not how people are in the US.
It seems to be trending better though
