It not just "hold down a job". When your own family can't stand being around you, I would say that qualifies as a serious problem.

- mindslight 8y agoYes, I did acknowledge it was only one metric. There are many people who can't stand their families and/or vice versa, yet if they were characterized as mentally ill it would effectively nullify the term. So this is also subjectively condemning personality traits that are celebrated in other contexts, veiled with impartiality. And while this is a contributing factor to her actual situation (if she were on better terms with her family, that would be another support structure), that doesn't really have a bearing on what I said in the USian individualist paradigm.
