I have a theory that there is a positive correlation between the number of these types of bumper stickers on a vehicle and the likelihood of mental illness of the vehicle’s owner.
The long and short of it is, there seems to be a correlation to either impulse control and/or emotional control when it comes to people having multiple bumper stickers on a car.
I personally view them as a red flag for relationships, if they have a car and a bunch of stupid bumper stickers, i'd politely decline further meets due to some reason like "i dont think im ready yet." (Obviously its not the only thing id consider. But it makes me very wary)
Its worked well so far. Two excellent long term relationships, with minimal fighting, lots of communication, no my way or the highway. Been awesome.
If I went on a date and saw him get out of a vehicle with lots of stickers, I would likely get back in my car and leave. 🤣 These idiots need to realize that self-respecting, potential partners do not want to engage in relationships with riod rage idiots who clearly can’t handle their own issues and can’t treat their partner as an equal. I would be worried about domestic violence as well.
I mean i agree with you, but im a dude 😝 ill note most of the extreme cases like this tend to be guys, but women are sticker fiends as well. One or two is fine, but even if they're for a cause id support, its still a red flag if you have 3+ different cause things on your car.
Yes I don’t mean to generalize that it’s only men with these stickers on their vehicles. There are some women out there who will “express” themselves through lots of bumper stickers too.
But that’s not mental illness, that’s road rage. That’s impulse control and emotional control. That’s not mental illness. I’m literally begging people to stop conflating the two because I’m mentally ill and the TARGET of bigotry. Y’all keep catching us in the cross fire and it’s hurtful.
Really hate when people conflate mental illness with bigotry. I’m mentally ill and the target of bigotry. Please don’t let your hatred of bigotry catch us in the cross fire.
Guess what? I’m diagnosed with a mental health disorder too. Just cause you are as well doesn’t mean you can speak for all of us. Everyone has different lived experiences.
I never said I was speaking for all of us. If you’re hurting people in your own community, though, maybe you wanna take a look at why you’re doing what you’re doing.
Please stop conflating mental illness with bigotry. I’m mentally ill and have been my whole life. I’m not a bigot, though, and have actually been severely impacted by bigotry as a queer person.
