> I appreciate your honesty!!! There are however many kinds of therapy, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists etc.
I know there are many different types of people. I liked my p-doc, I looked up to her. I think she has the same values as I do. I wish I could be successful like she is. She used to laugh sometimes when I made outrageous threats...then I see her laughing and I laugh too! It was hilarious! She's great.
>So I go to a counsellor because I would like to find out why I can't allow myself to connect with any depth with others.
Once I complained to my p-doc that I had no friends IRL. She then told me that I didn't have friends because I chose not to have friends. I thought about it for a sec and then I agreed. I think she's right! I dunno, I think I like it this way but I just don't see it.
> I would like you to remember that people really struggle in therapy and it HURTS. I don't laugh when I see injured people in car accidents.
Sorry, I think I was being inconsiderate again?
I only laughed when they had people pretend to be all depressed and socially anxious in the movie...I couldn't help it, it was just so darn funny. I have social anxiety and I think it's kind of funny sometimes.Is it really serious enough to compare to car accidents? I will take note of this. I already have one very important mental note: making light of suicide is like the equivalent of making light of something like sexual abuse.
> That would be for you to decide. Everyone needs a friend. A T. is NOT a friend, way to many boundaries in place for that. They are quasi friends perhaps in a way, only there to help you. It is one way pretty much.
I have lots of one way friends. ;-) It's probably a horrible thing to say, but having one way friends is a lot easier than having real friends. It's probably a habit from playing pretend too much or something.
>I am willing to pay because I am not happy with where I am and where I WAS going. I'm getting there, with help.
> MuffledI would be willing to pay if the T can help me get good grades...that is the most important thing to me.
