Summary
FriendZone | Make Friends ⋅ Fun Chill Active Chat ⋅ VC Social Gaming ⋅ Memes ⋅ Nitro Emojis ⋅ Anime hosts a thoughtful community debate regarding the use of labels in social interactions. The discussion explores whether identifying with terms like ADHD helps others understand personal differences or if it creates unnecessary barriers. This dialogue highlights the importance of empathy and mutual understanding within our diverse server environment.
yeah, I don't know since I don't really engage much with people with labels like ADHD and the rest of them . it's not like I would ever ask you about it or complain about how you are,my point is identifying yourself as that seems a bit off to me, I can get that you are different easier than when you call yourself that,feels like you reducing yourself to that or identifying as that,rather than just being you. No offence
Sorry what u mean
U mean people is self diagnose with adhd?
No, I meant. People with any labels I guess
I get that you are different and I can understand that. But when you tell me your labels it's like forcing me to see you just through that label rather than a whole person who is different from me
I see but not everyone is forcing
Depends who u meeting
If a person is telling about it is rather to say that they have problems that they cant help
Its not meaning to force anyone
I guess so. Let's say you have ADHD for example. And I don't know that. I can be talking with you as a friend without ever knowing that. For me I just think you are different, but if you tell me that you have that,it might make me see you through that Len rather than a whole person
Oh, so the labels are for me to understand why they are different?
Sure it can give a different view
But if people saying that it is bc they choose to trust u
And if u see at this point
If many think you are in a way you are not like example maturity or brain function
They can do wrong and misjudge
For u not being well enough
Ect
And slacking
Much things
So if someone say they having adhd or something its not bc of anything bad its just that many can view people wrong
And it will be more difficult
U can think how u think and we all but even with difficulty or whatever its we all are good just misunderstood from both ways
Oh, that's why they have the labels
Well many times its bc of being judged and people being bad in forms, like lets say you see people right
And they see you may not know so much
So they will guess every wrong detail about u
And thats not fun
Its people like that
Huh
But not everyone misunderstand them I guess
Yes but i say many places it is
Even if you don't tell me that you have a label
Like this
I would just talk to you like normal because I know everyone is their own different person
Giving me a label to look at is making me seeing you only that way rather than a whole for me 
Well its to understand only that people have different levels stuff like this and maybe more
Yes people are different as person yes
But as form of being judged
Many likes to judge
Esp in schools
Some discord
Hmm
And idk if work places
But i think there too
Let me give an example although it's not a label like ADHD and the rest
So I have a friend
I see, its ok
She is "bi"
So we are friends
