>>21077099Therapy is a stupid idea and has never worked for anyone. Talking about your problems never works even if it's with friends or family so assuming the therapist who's only doing it for money will be somehow different is straight up delusional.
I would advise any guy here to never even consider opening up ever again to other people because it's either useless or harmful in the long run. They will view you different if you talk about it and their image of you will be settle for good.
Have you noticed how others are trying non stop to psychoanalyze you or assess your character, telling you stuff like "you seem x" or "that's because you're x"? Even if they're saying nice stuff it's actually not a good thing. They're simply projecting their own standards and understanding on your situation or personhood.
Basically never let anyone get a clear picture of you because they will gradually grow more confident and will try to impose their own worldview or understanding via subtle suggestions and such. Therapists do the same with every client with a more professional twist: they actively try to stir your attention using their own "expert" narrative and hope to make you feel inferior and helpless without them.
>>21077107You're going through this humiliation ritual many times in your life, therapy is just a streamlined version of this so they can extract maximum humiliation and submission. You even pay for your shitty wage to go there and be humiliated. Never give these people what they want whether they're professional or people around you. Just troll the shit out of them when you realize that they're trying to do this.
