Ain’t nothing low key about my mental illness.

I was born in it, molded by it.

Hopefully most "sign" of mental illness in this scenario is lowkey because it's not due to a mental illness.

It can be from anxiety or just being very introverted. Which can be hard to deal with but still somewhat lowkey to a mental illness.

I talked to myself about this and we vehemently disagree that this is a sign of mental illness.

Fun fact: in The Sims 3 you can give your sim the "insane" trait, allowing them to talk to themselves and fulfill both the "fun" and "social" needs bars.

In my experience it's not nearly as effective irl... :(

It will never fill the social bar irl but for some it can fill the fun bar.

Largely depend on your level of anxiety and creativity.

i hate when "lowkey" is used everywhere

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I lowkey hate when people hate on the word "lowkey" without providing a reasonable explanation as to why.

Is there an implied highkey?

Edit: There is! But is there a midkey?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It ceases to be "low-key" at this point

Very relatable. I'll notice it when see my hands in front of me gesturing emphatically to an imaginary conversation I didn't really fully realise I was having.
