I would agree both are coping mechanisms, but assuredly they are not equal in toxicity?
If you have two toddlers and your house is a mess and you ask for help cleaning it so one toddler starts coloring pictures of flowers and trees and taping them to the walls while the other toddler pouts and walks around farting in every room... Neither one is helping clean the house but there is an obvious favorite child in that scenario, no?
