Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
So rude.
I think it’s rude to disobey a very simple instruction just because you don’t want to walk through the entrance.
But is this person's reason for not wanting to walk through the door, valid? I don't know. I'm not a psychiatrist and I don't know if s/he is just trolling. But you're dismissing this person as if they don't count, as if their concerns are meaningless. Perhaps they are very, very valid. You and I don't know. And that's why I think you're being an ass. You're diagnosing that this person is fine and fit to do something that s/he might not actually be fit to do.
They haven’t given a reason yet. They just said they’re afraid of it. There’s no apparent logical, valid reason to be afraid of that.
I asked them, but they gave no answer, so as far as I can tell it’s pretty clearly not valid
Well, Dr. you obviously know best.
(clearly you don't understand that many, many mental health issues ARE illogical and "unreasonable" on the face of it. That's why they're mental health issues.)
