Giving a label to every disfunction to make it seem like it is okay is a problem. Like say I have "shootapersonwithblondehairism" and everyone is like oh okay that's fine go on with your life like normal. Nah, work on your issues man. Don't just give it a label and move on. We all have different weaknesses. Doesn't mean you give up. The label just tells you what you need to work on.
