It's been so long since my romantic feelings have been verbally reciprocated.

It's actually not that far off base.
A ton of problems with people have to do with their parents or stuff that happened to them when they were young. and a lot of times it's something with your family.

You really have to keep an open mind...

Telling him to get help is counterproductive. What could a shrink tell him? Let his guard down? Some other pie in the sky bullshit? I've been to more than a few. They all read the same textbooks and give minor variations on the same shit. At the end of the day it comes down to Eli. Their advice boils down to telling a homeless person to get a job as a stockbroker buy a mansion.

What he needs is to just find someone who's there tomorrow. Not necessarily next week. Just tomorrow. Relearn self worth. If she's good enough for longer, great. If not, then oh well. She'll get someone tomorrow and so will he.

We're all broken. The game is just making tomorrow livable.

My problems have nothing to do with my parents. I know this sounds like im making excuses but you gotta believe me on this.

Its not their fault I am the way I am. I wouldve rathered they actually raised me instead of me doing it by myself.

Except the psychologist jumped to that conclusion from the first thing said. Like, made a conclusion based on an opening sentence.

"im different"
no, you're not
you're not some special little snowflake that no one can truly understand

that's nothing but a teenage mentality

I disagree. You don't live my life. I do.

ive felt this way as long as i can remember so it has nothing to do with age.

Well yeah that's on them but the thing is what do you do after that?
Do you get offended and never see a psych. again? Or do you continue on and say "I don't think that's the reason. Here's why."

Or maybe not. Maybe they were telling you the truth.

"Why did you want to come see a psychologist after all this time?"

"I really want to figure out what's wrong with me on a fundamental level so that I can do well in school, set up a bright future for myself and increase my level of communication and friendliness with my friends, peers and family. I don't want to waste my parents time or money."

"Oh, so this is all about your parents, is it?"

Quote
One thing however, is that with docs, you need to voice your point very clearly.

Well thats one of my problems yeah. I feel like im talking some basic shit but people dont understand what im saying. Its infuriating.

What you just posted up there is a really poor example. Dude, the first place you look is the parents. Then you look at the childhood.

Parents, whether they're there or not, give, fuck.... 90% of your traits to you.

Well im actually very different from my parents. Like, so much so that they used to joke that i was adopted.

But besides that, how do you get "its your parents fault" from what i said

Thats LITERALLY how it went down

See. Bingo. You're quick to judge and extremely quick on the defense.

For starters, I never said it was your parent's fault. Nor insinuated it. But that is always the first place you look for clues in order to start deconstructing.

Second. Just because you're different for your parents doesn't mean that you didn't get that from them.

For example. Say somebody has an asshole father. They might grow up to be a picture image of their father. But sometimes, you get people who are driven to go the opposite path because of the example set. There's variables here.

The key with docs is to talk. Over and over again. And try to break things down.

I won't lie. The field is plauged with shitty docs. If you're an american then chances are you're gonna get a bad roll because your medical system is literally pants on head retarded that way. But don't discredit right away. It takes time.

Because im sure a good one probably could help me oeganise my thoughts (at most) out but none of them are up for the task.

Like charley said. They all say variations of the same shit. Is there somrthing that a shrink will say thatll make me NOT think life is meaningless? That god exists? That life is worth passing on? No.

become enamoured in facets of that person which you do not understand instead of focusing on things you have in common.

You'll find the joy of discovering a person is more powerful than cold comfort gleaned by being in synchronicity with another.

Thats all well n good but you need to connect with someome on some level to be even just friends with em

Its also pretty clear to me that the opposite attract theory of tomance is dogshit


Additionally, thanks for being somewhat serious. Though, i think youre being a bit childish when you call me unintelligent just cuz we disagree.
If you find contentment in what you have in common with others, then you are not a creature of ambition, and it is not high intelligence, but arrogance which prevents you from connecting with others.

If that is the case, then humble yourself before others, that they may better convey themselves to you.

I get what you are saying and agree that the parents are a lot of times the issue. But again, that psychologist hadn't had repeat sessions and gained all this knowledge about the person they are questioning. They just walked through the door, said "hey this is why I'm here" and he made a conclusion.

Based on a greeting. Nobody knows what the true issue is from hearing a single phrase from someone they've never talked to.

Okay. Let's slow the train down here. For starters I don't know quite what we're talking about here. I need some context. I'm tired and my eyes are bleeding. I'm not gonna go through that many pages.

Can you give me a quick summary?

I'm no specialist, but hey. Let's give it a shot. Discussion always lands somewhere.

Blame his parents? No. As attractive as an idea that is, they start us on the path, we walk it. Could they have better prepared us? Sure. But anyone over the age of 16 has been molding ourselves ever since.

That's the failure of modern psychiatry.

We are on our own and after a certain day, your parents are just other people giving advice from their point of view. You become an adult when you realize that.

Eli is clearly there. He knows he needs affection. He gets in his own way because he wants it to last. The only advice I can give is just to worry about tomorrow. Forget next week, next month and next year. Just tomorrow. The rest will line up on its own.

I never said it was high intelligence that doesnt allow me to connecy with others

Theres a ton of different reasons i dont connect with oeople

Arrogance may be one of them, sure

But its not the maon reason

Anyways im not really interested in discussing this with you

Short and sweet:

The psychologist didn't say "so tell me about your parents" like psychologists do, implying he wants to get information.

He said "ok, so this is all about your parents is it?"

He made a conclusion.

Advice you don't want to hear I the best advice you can take.

Also, don't complain your level of intelligence is "awkward" and then say that it doesn't make it hard for you to connect with others.

See this is the reason shrinks didn't work for you, you're so adamant about being complicated and saying that nobody could possibly understand you that when somebody gets it on the nose, you don't want to believe it.

Ill do my best but im on mobile.

It's been a long time since I've been loved. I've been in varying degrees of romantic periods individually but I haven't had my love reciprocated in a very long time, and this just dawned on me.

I want someone to love, who also loves me, so that I have a reason to get up in the morning (see, a purpose). That purpose being, to provide for them. That obligation will force me to get my life together.

I also said I hate myself and want someone who loves me to tell me why they do.

Additionally, though i havent said it yet, i believe that the human experience is not genuine if you arent depressed. I believe depression is unfiltered reality, and that getting over it is fine and all but its fleeting. The Human condition is defined by suffering.

1. I also never saif my intelligence DOESNT hinder my ability to connect. It doesn,but there are other reasons too.

2. Im so glad you know my experiences better than i do regarding shrinks.

Telling him to get help is counterproductive. What could a shrink tell him? Let his guard down? Some other pie in the sky bullshit? I've been to more than a few. They all read the same textbooks and give minor variations on the same shit. At the end of the day it comes down to Eli. Their advice boils down to telling a homeless person to get a job as a stockbroker buy a mansion.

What he needs is to just find someone who's there tomorrow. Not necessarily next week. Just tomorrow. Relearn self worth. If she's good enough for longer, great. If not, then oh well. She'll get someone tomorrow and so will he.

We're all broken. The game is just making tomorrow livable.

YEAH

We all know how that went.

Roman gets in where he fits in. Mad that he banged a fatty? That's your problem. He doesn't feel he has a problem. He feels happy.

Well, fuck, there's your problem. Right there. RIGHT FUCKING THERE. I could give you a monumentally long post. I can cover almost every single aspect of what you just said and dismantle it. Completely.

Guess Nuka's right. The doc you visited was shit.

But, I'm not going to waste my time. Do you want me to write a post?

I dunno if I can do it now, because my head's kinda..... messy. But after I wake up and maybe sort out some of my problems. I can break everything down for you piece by piece.

Again, it might be messy and come insegments. But I hear you, okay.
