How did I end up on the Gifted Kid --> Disabled Homeless Man pipeline? I'd like off now, please. : r/GiftedKidBurnouts (bonus: they are ftm!)

I might have sympathy for people like this, except they can't stop themselves from doing shit like this:

>The degree of trauma I went through is apparently not common even in trauma-focused spaces

So this delicate flower can't even be ordinary ADHD, no, they have special ADHD with a profile! And all kinds of other mental issues! And physical issues as well!

Like, I'm online acquainted with someone who has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and it's a crappy disease. But you don't just get a diagnosis at age 27 or so. You have that since you're a kid, and the doctors will figure it out, because you'll keep showing the symptoms associated with it. If the rheumatologists are "mulling it over", they're probably thinking "This is some Munchausens bullshit but we can't directly call them a liar".

And surprise freakin' surprise, when they decided they were really a guy, their husband got a divorce because he's not gay and wanted to be married to a woman, not a man. So they split up and now New Real Man has to manage their own life, which they describe as being "kicked to the curb". What they did expect the ex to do? "Okay, you're a guy, and we're divorced, but you can stay living in my house and I'll pay for all your needs"?

If I believe anything is going on, it's that this specimen is BPD and a narcissist to boot.
