People like to read between the lines rather than read the words you say, it's the most annoying part of trying to communicate with people in my opinion.
It turns out I'm not too stupid to code but OOP ain't for me. I understand functional much better (though admittedly I'm still not doing anything crazy)
I'm convinced that a good 60%+ of the so called "mental illnesses" are just people who have habits and can't seem to break them. I don't think there is something inherently wrong with their brain. Now I'm not saying there aren't legitimate mental issues, I'm just saying the vast majority of it seems pretty fake to me.
