Shrinkflation

When your psychiatrist charges the same amount as before but for a shorter session.

I felt tricked when my shrink shortened our session without giving me a discount. I switched to a new psychiatrist to avoid the new shrinkflation

I started the wave out as a propt engineer, but Cursor erratic inconsistent behaviour forced me to become a Shrinkai.

Shrinkbait

An umbrella term encompassing all forms of baiting that weaponize psychological concepts, diagnoses, or therapeutic language against targets. Shrinkbait includes Grassbait ("touch grass," "go outside"), Delusionbait ("you're delusional," "this is psychotic"), Patholighting (gaslighting about mental health), and any other tactic that frames the target as mentally unwell, socially maladjusted, or psychologically broken. The term "shrink" references psychiatry and therapy—the tools of the trade being used as weapons. Shrinkbait transforms genuine psychological concepts into cudgels for dismissal, turning "concern" into attack, diagnosis into dismissal, therapy-speak into tyranny. It's the language of healing used to harm, the vocabulary of understanding deployed to shut down understanding.

"I expressed an unconventional political view. Within minutes, the Shrinkbait arrived: 'Touch grass,' 'You sound delusional,' 'This is textbook narcissism,' 'Seek help.' Not one person engaged my arguments. They just diagnosed me from a distance, using therapy-speak as a weapon. That's Shrinkbait—psychology as a drive-by shooting."

Shrinkpost

A specific instance of Shrinkbait—any post that uses psychological language, diagnosis, or therapeutic concepts to dismiss, pathologize, or attack a target. Shrinkposts are recognizable by their clinical vocabulary deployed in non-clinical contexts: "narcissist," "borderline," "psychotic," "delusional," "unwell," "needs help," "touch grass," "take your meds." They may mimic concern ("I'm genuinely worried about your mental health") while functioning as attacks. They may diagnose from a single post, pathologize disagreement, or frame normal human variation as disorder. The Shrinkpost doesn't engage content—it commits the speaker to the asylum, then pretends that's compassion.

"She wrote a passionate critique of institutional power. The first reply was a Shrinkpost: 'This level of anger suggests unresolved trauma. Have you considered therapy? I'm concerned about your wellbeing.' Not a word about her argument, just pathologization dressed as care. Concern as a cudgel, therapy-speak as silencing."
