Non-native English user here, it seems the word "neurotic" has some connotation that the trait "neuroticism" doesn't? And that's why it's received so poorly?
- sanity31415 5y ago"Neurotic" does have a negative connotation in common usage, but it's also the term used by personality psychologists, it's the 'N' in the OCEAN personality model. It means "risk averse".
- ackfoobar 5y ago"Educate yourself" is often thrown by the left in heated conversations. But when a academic term (that is closely related to a negative word) is used, some on the same side refuse to understand and get butthurt instead.
