That’s so rude. People make such wild assumptions about other people’s lives.

I envy the people who can be themselves at work without losing their job the same day. But only a bit, because it looks incredibly boring.

Ah yes, the good ol’ “Just get over it” technique that is supposed to work for any mental health condition.
