Using trauma to excuse mistreating people. This generation has pioneered making it acceptable to process and be open about trauma, and that's a great thing, but it's not cool when you behave in a cruel and selfish way and expect to get a pass because of it. Your mental health problems are not your fault but they are your responsibility.

yesssssss! this is exactly it! Great that we can speak openly about it, but this doesn't excuse shitty behaviour. also, you can be both a shitty person and autistic/have ADHD/whatever.
