mh (?) 

I wonder if we have some forgotten trauma or something relating to reading articles about mental health stuff, because we have a really strong aversion to it

it might just be how frequently they try to categorize everything into neat little boxes though

got into an argument with someone today over the value of different system members filling some list of arbitrary archetypes and just, the very concept gives a viscerally negative reaction

like, I refuse to be categorized. I don't know what category I fit but I also don't want to know because whatever one it is I'll probably find myself either trying to fit into it better or trying to avoid fitting into it better and that just seems harmful

re: mh, boxes 

I also just, really dislike categorizing people in general

people are people, they don't need to fit into your neat little boxes.

@Felthry idk if that's a trauma thing, but as a reaction, that makes sense to me

@packbat I don't know, it probably isn't but I couldn't find another word
