The irony of sneako calling people sheep when god is known as the shephard and we are his sheep

Yeah, that's mostly Conservative pearl clutching moral outrage. Making up a Boogie man to fight to justify bigotry

Yeah 99.9% percent of schools are like that. But people like sneako see one headline of the 0.1% percent of schools that have weird stuff. And make it seem like that's all schools and it's normal now

Interestingly, I remember my Highschool made efforts toward safe spaces and teachers who felt open to communicate with teens about some of their issues with classmates or themselves, that they could do so there. I don't believe that any teacher gave medical advice or guided kids through the kinds of issues that should be discussed with doctors, but more so functioned as an ear to listen to them and as a shoulder to cry on if needed. All this to say that the rainbow stickers on doors were a thing in my school, but never for the purposes that Sneako said they were for.

yeah most schools are old as fuck buildings that struggle for space for desks, classrooms and children ; they can barely have space for maths, english and history books let alone RuPaul's autobiography

I cannot put in words how hurtful Sneakos mindset is to an average person. There are people who can work with that. Always being stoic, never showing emotions, never being bothered by stuff. But they are extremely, extremely rare (and probably have other mental issues that need adressing). Issue is that EVERYONE thinks they are the one that will be able to bottle their emotions forever and not blow up one day. And if Sneako keeps going like that, i fully expect him to pull a FouseyTube one day and go full schizo. I genuinely blame it on the way we guys were raised. You know, 'boys don't cry' and all that jazz. 'Emotions are a weakness' that is ingrained into us from young age. My hope is that as time goes on, and guys like us raise a generation of guys who know showing genuine emotions is good and healthy, that suicide rate will fall.

@@bartoszkrawczyk5921 Absolutely! Couldn't agree more. It's a farce. There's only so long someone can go around bottling up their emotions and calling it strength before they implode. I think boys need to be raised to express and channel their emotions in just as many healthy ways as girls. They need to be taught how to adequately communicate with people and regulate their emotions, just like anybody else. People naively think it's "gay" to be able to do so but I see it as the epitome of strength and leadership to be able to clearly express what, how and why something hurt you and propose solutions to resolve it. There's nothing wrong with that and there are tons of ways men can do that without compromising their perception of masculinity.

There is a problem with men reaching out and getting their hand slapped away. Men's health problem doesn't begin or end with bottling it up or letting it all out. Ask Doctorrandomcam and he'll tell you.

@@OdaSwifteye Sure, but I think men learn from an early age to stuff things down under the surface, so in a way, I do think it at least begins with learning that way of "coping" is acceptable. It's not right, but I think that's where it starts. It also can come from a myriad of traumas: sexual assault, molestation, bullying, disorders, neglect, the whole 9. It could come from people telling them from an early age that they shouldn't cry or that crying is "gay". It also depends on who you're turning to help for and what your concept of turning to someone looks like. If you ask other men who aren't trained on how to deal specifically with men's emotions and pleas for help, then sure. Trust, I confided some dark things to a friend thinking I was being vulnerable, and they threw me under the bus and turned their back on me. So, I know not everyone out there who you think is your friend or confidant is for you. I also know that not every professional you turn to, or every person you speak to on a crisis hotline will take you seriously. Around this time last year, I called the crisis hotline several times and can remember one person who seemed to care less while another time I called, the guy on the other end was attentive and empathetic. Sometimes we have to kiss a few frogs to find a prince, which means you might not come out the gate finding the best therapist for your situation but it doesn't mean there isn't one out there. Before my mental breakdown (which came as a result of PTSD and BPD) I was working with a therapist that I thought was okay, but they didn't provide much input. Afterwards, I saw them for a few weeks and then transitioned to another therapist who has been instrumental in helping me navigate and understand the origin of my symptoms.

Yeah I totally agree. When I was a conservative Christian my parents took me to a Christian therapist who made everything Christ-centered. He would tie my stories into the Bible and pray with me and for me, and encourage me to keep praying and talking to God and exploring my faith in a healthy way that benefits my mental health. It really worked and I couldn't be more grateful for him.

Same

It's probably just misinformed. They hear one article about litter boxes in an elementary school and run with it.

@@akhnatenpage4854nah. It’s lying. Sneak said he had them in his schools and he’s 25. That means he’s saying that he saw them 7+ years ago in person. He’s just lying.

Agreed

The fact they thought dr k was getting mad when he pointed out Sneako is a confrontational and argumentative person kinda sums them up

happy for her

I totally agree with your assessment of true ADHD. Too many people are like, "Lol, I'm ADHD so I didn't listen well, I'm special. xD" I was in special ed (school for mentally handicapped) for all of elementary school, until middle school when a teacher realized I wasn't mentally retarded. They saw I just needed a different form of schooling environment... I wouldn't say I'm neurodivergent. It's becoming trendy to use "neurodivergent" as a badge of honor to be accepted in today's tiktok society. But It waters down what neurodivergent is and makes it sound "nice". Neurodivergent is mental handicap. I've seen true neurodivergent, and if you have the life you say you've had then you aren't neurodivergent. Stop using that term.

@@canbeone7277 agreed. The overuse of the term dramatically water things down to just being uwu quirky and it’s annoying. I struggled for years with inattentiveness, extreme emotional reactions, and procrastination. When I was teaching, I couldn’t understand why I was easily distracted while teaching, hyper-fixating or getting so thrown off by the slightest movement that I’d have a minor meltdown. Unfortunately, last night it all came to a head. I was diagnosed with BPD about a decade ago, but this was more than that but I couldn’t put my finger on it. After everything came to a head, I was additionally diagnosed with PTSD and ADHD. Now, with the diagnosis, I can start to better assess triggers and try to better navigate my way forward. I say I’m neurodivergent because it’s easier to use it as short hand in the comment section without sounding like folks on social media who like to list their diagnoses like some sort of badge lol. That’s cringe to me, but yeah. I wish as a kid I was in a different learning setting. The closest I got to that was when I was put in the “average to slow” class, as they called it. The teacher called me a “space cadet” 🙄.

⁠@@canbeone7277 absolutely. I really dislike how much people think they know about actual mental health. Lack of attention is not always ADHD. It has requirements to be diagnosed. If it was all down to loose attention then I would have ADHD. I can’t tell you how many side missions I go through trying to simply clean my room.

Therapy is very difficult. You have to confront and work through things that can be uncomfortable and upsetting. It takes a while to unpack everything and get closure.

@@moemunneymoe It’s not like I was there for trauma or something like that. I was there for a couple anxiety disorders. The psychiatrist prescribed medication I said didn’t want, and wasn’t going to take. And the therapists told me things I already knew.

After watching longer, Gut has some open minded moments as well.
