This comment seems so angry and impractical. People should definitely be evaluating others and themselves based on healthy vs unhealthy behaviors.

A thrill-seeking bus driver doesn’t get a no judgment pass to speed recklessly through traffic lights because their brain is happiest when doing so.

A friend group isn’t supporting their alcoholic friend with a judgment free zone when they see them drinking every day but don’t say anything or help since their friend’s brain has literally become dependent on a certain level of alcohol intake to function.

An individual with depression isn’t being a champion of judgment-free self care when they uncritically act on self-harm impulses.

Health is based on a continuum, and it will not look the same for everyone. Some people will be able to perform more and different healthy behaviors than others.

Everyone should be encouraged and assisted to be the healthiest person that they are capable of being. But, it is difficult to know true potential and boundaries of you aren’t willing to look at things critically and re-examine patterns and coping mechanisms to determine if they still serve you the best that they could.

Also, labeling the question “ableist bullshit” seems pretty rude. Maybe there is something in the original post that I don’t see, but I don’t think there is enough info there to make that assumption.

I’m not sure if they were asking out of idle curiosity, a personal health concern, a potential research topic, etc. Maybe there is is more to the post when viewing on Lemmy and that’s helping you deem the topic ableist bullshit vs valid?
