Activities that are harmful to yourself and your surroundings are a form of not functioning.
Being poor and voting Trump is a form of self harm.
Disowning family and friends for being LGBT is a form of not functioning.
Believing prosperity gospel and donating to a church is a form of self harm, and failure to address problems properly.
Believing death is not that important because there’s a way better afterlife is outright insane, and a huge potential cause for self harm.

Sigh please change, Lemmy. BTW if you’re looking for something to stretch, rubber bands are a better option than word definitions.
