That's a good question. I believe if a mental, physical, or psychological trait hinders your QOL or impedes your ability to perform basic tasks, it qualifies as a disorder or dysfunction.
I think everyone has traits that make them lean towards dysfunction, but they are manageable, tolerable, or not seen as abnormal.
Most Deaf people don't see their deafness as a handicap or dysfunction. While some hearing folks might think "they're missing out on so much" it can't be further from the truth.
This was the first time I saw Asexuality mentioned on a major community, so I was happy to see the spread of awareness, then the first comment was along the lines of "it's probably a mental disorder". To me, that sounds anti-LGBT.
Incorrect. It's not a disorder or dysfunction. It's a sexual attraction type just like gay or straight, and I would appreciate some respect, instead of this archaic "you're just sick"
As someone who is Asexual and been in relationships, I've still not had sexual attraction to my partners, and still had oxytocin highs.
Cause they cost too much to commit right away. If you dont like what you got, either you go through the hassle of trying to get a refund, or if you pirated it, you just get rid of it.
Many restaurants clearly state "we add gratuity of x% to tables of 5 or more". Or something similar. It's an asshole move not to share this until you get the bill, but if they tell you ahead of time, I think it's fair.
I have applied for the income based payments, but I also have 2 other loans that were deemed "personal loans" which makes up the other half of all my loans.
I'm at over $100,000 USD in debt. If I don't pay it, they're going to come after my family members who cosigned, and they can't afford to pay it either, so we're all fucked if I don't make payments.
BTW I was late on 1 payment and they slapped me with an additional $70 on my regular payment of $25. This is why I've thought about ending it. It won't be my problem anymore and I won't have to consider the consequences.
I'll just be gone forever. But I also don't want to do that to my family if I can help it.
Debt to family members. If I pay them off, I'll have a reason to keep living. If i decide to run or kill myself, then I'll just be "a coward" and "selfish".
But I've had bad luck my whole life. I hope I'll be able to pay them off one day, but the idea of suicide has been crossing my mind daily. I've been unemployed since covid except for 1 job which lasted a month, and another job this December which may only last a month.
I am out of money. I just graduated university with a Bachelors Degree, and unlike most of my colleagues, I've been unable to get a job in the industry.
My school loans are coming to collect in January. My whole family is poor. I'm the realistic example of a poor person graduating with a degree. I'm stuck poor, and I will probably die poor.
And I still haven't got my foot in the door.
