Almost all of my closest friends have been diagnosed as bipolar at some point over the past decade. They just kept on coming. I just tend to gravitate toward y’all. I’ve been assessed myself and don’t seem to have it, so idk what that’s about. I know being bipolar can be hard and has a lot of stigma attached, so I just wanted you to know you’ve got someone in your corner.
My favourite response to people who say or imply that you’re too much is a simple “Go find less”.
I think it’s just perfectly laconic and it’s great in how the way it inverts that judgemental attitude
It reminds of an old interview in some media outlet’s archive with Björk, from memory about her second album Post, where she said something to the effect of “The album is very square, you know? And if you don’t like it you can fuck off.” I aspire to embody that attitude - nobody is forcing you to listen to that album or to profess your appreciation for it. If you don’t like it - fine, whatever. I try to remind myself that this is an acceptable position to have regarding my personality and my being a bit of an oddball; if you don’t like it fuck off.
I very very much appreciate you!
