  • Eh, in “brown places” they would mock you for even admitting you have mental struggle. That used to be true even in the west not so long ago, when I was growing up, it was still being mocked and made fun of.

    So no, “brown countries” don’t have this solved, the west is simply currently in a phase where it’s ok to not pretend everything is fine just because of peer pressure.

    And that helps with the slow process of healing, if you have to bury all your traumas deep instead, you can’t ever heal.

    Mine and previous generations have a shitton of traumas buried deep, but we were the first who started trying to be better in this regard. Our kids will have much better mental health simply because fewer of us have untreated personality disorders that we spread onto our children.
