How do I talk my well meaning boomer mom out of exactly this without making her resent me for it? Like idk: “Mom, you might make people feel you’re belittling their obsessive–compulsive disorder diagnosis. It might be more sensitive to say‘obsessed’ with something or similar?”?
I’m PRETTY sure she hates accidentally offending folks via lazy speech-change habits and would want the input. She may resent it and complain to other family. Is this a hill I want to die on, I’m asking myself in a Lemmy comment. Feel free to opine bc Idk.
