The Importance of Stigma

There's a real association with either laziness or people thinking that, okay, if there are days where someone is feeling particularly low and says that they can't, there's some argument against that. It boils down to people not being able to reveal a real part of themselves. Sometimes an overwhelming part of themselves mainly for fear of being judged. So stigma can cause some people to try to avoid or separate from or suppress what they're experiencing. And all of that is of course linked to the worsening of their well-being as you won't even allow yourself to be aware of it because it's perceived as not being acceptable.
