These lines are amazing, “The mind seeks purity when complexity becomes unbearable. But healing asks for something harder than certainty. It asks for humility.”

I once worked in a psych center for a summer. Just as admin. I knew there was a test they gave all patients to identify problems. I asked a psychiatrist if I could take it for fun. He looked at me very seriously and said, “no. You function well in society. You don’t need a diagnosis. This test gives everyone a diagnosis. It’s only intended for those who can’t function.”

It really surprised me. Yes, we all can be “diagnosed” but a diagnosis isn’t appropriate for everyone.

You can have narcissistic traits. Most of us do. But few cases are extreme enough for the label. For all those people diagnosing every relationship, they’re just being bullies. Just say you hate the fucker. You’re imperfect and so are they. You don’t have to use clinical terminology to prove you’re superior.
