6 years agoI think you just connected something for me… I browsed /r/TiA way, way early on, when it was mostly about otherkin and in that brief window before it really went to shit. I found my diary from high school and inside I have this huge crisis about whether I’m “really depressed or just lazy.” It was strange to read because I don’t remember how I got so many of those ideas or that it took me so long to realize I very obviously was mentally ill. Now I’m thinking I must have absorbed it from the anti-SJW culture.
For me the hardest to replace has been “That’s crazy!” in a neutral/positive connotation for unexpected, off the wall, out of bounds, wild, shocking. Would love to hear other suggestions for this because most replacements I’ve found for “crazy” have negative connotations.
