Mental illness has always been with us. It is not a result of parenting. It is not a lack of self control. It is not about being “a man”.

It is a brain based illness. It is the same as something like ALS. I mean, if people with ALS could just control themselves, right? Maybe if people with stage 4 cancer tried harder, they wouldn’t die.

You probably know people IRL who struggle with mental illness. They may self-harm, or self-medicate. They might have other addictions or ways they try to cope. Unfortunately, they live in shame and fear and despondency because of judgmental attitudes like yours and an overall lack of support and compassion.

I never knew anyone like that kid growing up. Now it seems everyone has a mental illness. It's trendy I guess. Hey, if I knew it'd give me a cool 120k, I'd have a mental illness too.

A lot of these things are due to parenting. When I was a kid, and I would throw a fit, my father would beat me until I never thought to do a fit again. And I don't mean spanking, I mean a proper beating.

I bet this kid was throwing fits like this and getting away with it. Well good for him I guess, he got 120k for it. Must be smarter than me.

I struggled with mental illness for years. So I know what it's like. And even with that being part of my past, I still don't think he conducted himself in the right way. We can't use people's mental disorder as an excuse. If his mental disorder is this bad, he should not be doing this job. Like I said earlier in this post. When I was 16 I worked as a cashier in a grocery store. Customers said insanely mean things to me. And I eventually couldn't hold it together. Results? I quickly realize that I needed to work non-customer service jobs. In over 25 years I have never worked a customer service job.

I'm not saying the guy should be working. But he's clearly in the wrong job

It’s not a fit.

It is self harm.

A fit would be hurting everything around him. He is hurting himself.

Sorry, I cannot advocate beating anyone.

A nation of victims. Black people are all discriminated against, trannies, and now every white kid is either bicurious, or has some mental illness.

And I'd laugh right back at you and your "friends." LOL you don't know me at all so don't lump me into your ridiculous category.

Wow...what a tough guy you are! My Dad used to whoop my ass too. The only difference is that I'm not walking around projecting my issues onto everything else like you are.

Let's not pretend, he didn't hit himself all that hard. No real pain. He wanted real pain, he could have hit that guy, and see what would happen to him. When people throw fits like that, it's a weird form of attention seeking. Like when a toddler cries.
