What is eccentric anyway? How do you classify a country full of independent individuals doing their own thing. This is just a ruse to try and drug everyone.
Shy people probably do not talk much because they have nothing to say to the kinds of idiots writing this drivel.
Grieving is a normal human emotion and is even healthy for someone accepting the loss of a loved one.
This is a case of lunatics running the asylum.
Anyone who is not a sheeple.
It isn’t mandatory to go to a shrink or a counselor. Who is to know if anyone is shy or grieving? As for people who need medication: they can balance their need with the effect of the label on the rest of their lives.
(Anecdote, not data, alert):
I have known both a PhD psychologist and an MD psychiatrist in my social life. The PhD was a conservative who was run out of his hospital-based practice by concerted effort of the liberals in his department. The majority of his practice was people with insurance that covered his services. He was fairly bored with their problems. He ended up working in the State prison system, which he absolutely hated. His private life was something of a mess.
The MD psychiatrist was also a conservative. He was known for prescribing medication to all his patients. He disliked having to talk with patients and so, hired PhD’s and Social Workers to do the cognitive therapy. He, himself, was considered eccentric and was almost pathologically shy. He had a private practice.
Many folks subscribe to the white-knuckle school of therapy. So, you are shy, lonely, grieving or have a hobby that hurts no one, but that others consider odd? Keep it to yourself. If you do not seek psychological help, no one knows what your classification is.
At some point, I suppose we could all be subject to mandatory counseling and be committed against our will, but that isn’t quite here, yet.
Avoid the idiots and the asylum.
