In my opinion 85% of the world probably has mental issues.

COVID brought a lot of it forward. But yet countries like the US still don’t see it an issue. Slowly it’s becoming destigmatized. From a male prospective we are still looked at extremely funny if we say we have mental health issues. Same with males who are abused. We should just toughen up.

The problem is that it’s one thing to remove the stigma and allow people to get the treatment they need and a whole different thing to embrace and celebrate it, which is what seems to be happening right now.

It was probably true before COVID. Mental health is something that we've only recently started taking seriously

I still to this day get looked at funny and “not as manly” when I tell people I have ADHD, I’m bipolar, my tourettes, OCD, whatever. They don’t believe me when I tell them, and its ESPECIALLY awkward when I talk about my feelings regarding my “conditions” or my feelings about life and its circumstances.
So much fucking stigma.

Guess what?! You might have been joking, but this is not very far off the mark.
There are a few things that need to be understood in order to make this clear.
Neuroses exist on a spectrum (not an on-off switch), and almost everyone exhibits neurotic behavior to some extent. Who exhibits observable neurosis and who does not is decided by the interplay of two factors: psychological resistance to neuroses (stress tolerance, established by both nature and nurture), and the amount of stress a person is dealing with.
So, for example, a person with an extremely high tolerance for stress can still become observably neurotic if placed in a horrific situation. Likewise, a person with a very low tolerance for stress can become apparently normal if placed in an extremely safe situation.
In psychology, the tendency to attribute a person's actions to their internal character rather than the situation they are in is called the primary attribution error. It's the most common mistake.
Almost everyone is crazy if the world is crazy enough to make them that way. But, yeah, there is a good ~15% who are resilient AF.

It's also the #1 tactic in politics, and coincidentally is the #1 worst thing about politics.
