You know how some Christians or Catholics have the title "born-again" attached to them?
If you look it up, they're described as believers who experienced a profound conversion or spiritual transformation of sorts.
Basically, to dumb it down, they have given their life to the religion and will proceed to walk the path that they're taught to.
From personal experience observing born-again believers, they're all extremely enthusiastic in their new teachings. They speak with all the fervor of a new convert.
And of course, they're always eager to share with others what they've learnt; what their new way of life is all about.
They want to "save" you.
Whether this is a good or beneficial thing for us non-believers is subject to personal experience.
I am not religious or anything. I have gone way past that stage.
I just happen to see the similarities in the realm of mental health.
Indeed, there are many born-again mental health advocates.
These are the guys who:
. For the first time in their lives, manage to read and see what they're feeling in literature. They're awestruck that their emotions are penned into words.
. Are extremely eager to hence share what they learnt with you.
. Are going to shove down tons of psychological definitions and terms down your throat, almost as if to show off their newfound knowledge.
. Ironically do not give you any tangible solutions beyond said definitions.
. Will downright insult you and tell you what's wrong with the way you lead your life. This is particularly common in men who have more traditional views on masculinity/manliness.
. May disappear from your lives because they're too busy improving themselves.
It's kind of suffice it to say, but they make mental health their entire personality.
Again, whether these will benefit you or not, should you have such a friend is subject to your own personal experience.
Hopefully, it'd be good and not so annoying.
