Kiss Syndrome, ADHS, Asperger syndrome, borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, insomnia, depressions, dyslexia, dyscalculia, disturbed gross/fine motor skills, auditory/visual perception disorder, Prosopagnosia, speech disorder...those are all things, which can "complicate" the life of a person a lot...even destroy it.
But those are also things, which are excuses, for things, which are simply not
perfectI guess "individuality" was never more "popular" than in the past 50 or so years...but at the same time, it seems, as if it was also never ever more popular to "declare" everything as "abnormally", that isn´t following a strict scheme.
If some treatment follows this "categorising", it can help to improve the "life quality" of a person. But I am knowing so many, who are leaning back and prefer telling everyone about their disorder, instead of working against/with it.
I am self not the best in recognising faces...and as I get it, there are many more...but usually one has developed strategies. It´s as with mathematics...there are often also several ways of getting a result. What does it matter, HOW your brain recognised someone? The important thing is, that the brain recognised this someone.
There are still many ppl, who are too proud to admit problems, but there are also ones, who are shouting them out with a "megaphone"...and that again...and again...until they are in the center of attention
And then there are prominent persons, like Victoria, who are encouraging them. She might tell herself, that she is helping them. But who is she really helping? Those with serious agnosia (after strokes or brain injuries) are surely not on her level (otherwise this would have made headlines a long time ago) and those with the slight version (like me) can usually work with it until no problem is left.
Yes, Victoria, we all know, that you (just like cousin Freddles) profited a lot from your confession around your "growing pains" (in your case eating disorders)...and there is nothing wrong with it...but there is also a time, when ppl have to leave "I am soooo dysfunctional"-confessions to the Lohan-Britney-Barton Gang and have to grow up!
Marry your guy (that is actually looking a lot like you...that bad your disorder you can´t be
), get a heir and a spare and go for a real theme. So far you always got the "puppy bonus", but somewhen ppl will notice, that you can´t say, that you have serious problems with reading and a few days later you are telling us, that you read a lot about climate change, that you are taking a lot of vacation and time off as well (and that you are still eating from the myth of "hard working Victoria") and that your plans of getting engaged in conflict resolution were nothing, but smoke and mirrors...
Well, maybe I was too harsh...with a mother changing her face all the time developing some skills in "facial recognition" can´t be easy
