    Mental Health, Mental Wellness, and Empathy

    How has mental health been weaponized?

    How would we see this in practice? Some examples?

    What perspectives would be considered 'different' from those of the norms of our culture and how are they dismissed?

    What kinds of misinformation  would be employed and relating to which mental health issues, and how do they silence those that struggle with said mental issues?

    Who throws accusations of "mentally unfit" or "unwell" and which transgressive views are we speaking of exactly?

    There is a 'normal' range of any issue. It is referred to as a 'bell curve' or 'median' or 'average' or 'general' trend, state or character of a thing, things or persons or groups. When people fall outside of this spectrum, the majority will recognize them as the 'exception, not the rule', and scientifically it makes sense to treat such minority percentages as they are. Hence the 'exception to the rule'  should not be argued as a general rule, nor should be an exception used to apply a method, limit, law or rule on the majority.

    Who is calling people on the end of the bell curve 'crazy' or 'warped'?

    All perspectives can be found in SL, both in world and on these forums. It doesn't mean it's wrong or right, it's just a perspective, which is just another word for saying "someone's opinion".

    Education is fine, but most people are quite educated on a number of issues, yet still hold their opinion - mainly because they HAVE actually educated themselves, looked at both sides of the equation, and came to their own conclusion over it.

    Which ways would you suggest that would help combat a difference of opinion, perception or worldview?

     

    Yes, empathy is an important trait to have - the ability to put oneself into another person's shoes, to understand their perspective, to recognize their perspective, to respect their perspective...

    and yet still disagree with it.

    A bit more empathy for everyone and by everyone in this world (on all issues) is certainly needed.

     

    Those are very good questions that i would also like to know the answers to, also i would like to add about the empathy thing sometimes it is hard to have it when you have some sort of mental change, like myself i have ptsd from combat and i lost my empathy, so there,s a lot of people who are relearning to get it back

    I would agree with what Akane said, its always best to go to places and/or groups that involve your hobbies or interests, will be easier doing that than sending IM's to random people since like you said most don't reply. I do wish you good luck though :)

    Try demos, get as many demos of heads bodies everything and then mess around with them, once you find something you like then buy it. always try a demo for everything (if there is one).
