Personally, I dislike having labels on myself that describe behavior whether it be pseudo-science or science-science because I find myself "role-playing" those labels and semi-consciously using them to guide actions. Even for medically diagnosed disorders I'll end up unconsciously thinking "Well of course, I'm going to do X because I have disorder Y/personality type Z".


Well, of course you'd say that! You're a Label-Rejecter!


This is easily one of the best comments in the thread, nice job being authentic to your experience! :-)

BTW have you ever gotten into acting, even on the side? Asking because your comment reminded me of some people I've known with similar experiences.


Thank you! I've never been much for acting save for a brief foray in elementary school, during which I found out that I don't particularly enjoy trying to act out a character.
