>Psychologists

The majority of them are all sheltered babies who went to college at 18 and never really experienced anything worse than a dead family member or friend.

They can't help you. You need to deal with this yourself. Talking to some random person who knows nothing about you and hasn't gone what you go through can never truly understand and actually help you. All they do is trivialize what youve been through and label you and label your problem with some jargon and it's mission accomplished.

Have you ever actually met one?
A real one that is, not some pseudologist on the internet like me, but a proper one.
Just curious.

I mean you aren't all that wrong, not everyone needs a psychologist to get through their issues. As desty said, you don't need to see a doctor for a sprained ankle but you probably ought to if you've broken your leg.

The problems ITT are ordinary life issues, which you are correct, are the sort of thing to work through on your own/with friends and family. Mental Illness is of course different as I'm sure you know, that's what (most) psychologists are there to treat.

I'm willing to move on from this if you are.

My comment was meant to be humourous. Not in the banter kind of way, but in the "making fun of myself" kind of way. People were saying I was overreacting to what you did, so I just "steered into the skid" to emulate this picture Sep7agon has painted of me. I do that a lot, actually. It's why I respond "Hopefully off a cliff." when asked what humanity's next step should be. People expect that kind of a response from me so I just take it further to an unreasonable extent.

But I understand my joke wasn't taken that way and I'll apologise if that'll help. This whole thread has made me realise that the only people who hurt people, are people who've been hurt themselves, and the last thing I want is someone out their genuinely thinking I want them to die when they don't deserve it.

And that goes for anyone else who has a problem with me, too. Bring it to my attention so I can rectify this.

I know there are good ones that actually help people who legitimately have problems they need professional help.

But this isn't something for an actual psychologist. These other losers people go to are worthless.

Fair enough, just wanted to check <.<

Dude, mgsv tpp wasn't that bad

Dopameme · January 26, 2016, 02:48:13 PM

not sure if you're still discussing in this thread but after reading through some of the pages i feel like i should give my two cents. i don't talk about what i am about to tell you often at all and i didn't sleep much last night, so bear with me here.

these feelings of emotional emptiness that you're dealing with and being unable to deeply connect with other people is something that i shared throughout the majority of my life. having a group of friends, socializing, and sharing romantic feelings with girls were completely foreign concepts to me. up until the very end of my senior year of high school, i was constantly fighting myself in and out of depression and ended up being very reclusive. i hated everything about myself and spent many hours looking at myself in the mirror and wishing that i was different. this lead me to make really bad decisions that could have seriously affected me in a bad way, one of these decisions was frequently getting blackout drunk at home alone around the time when i had just turned 17 because i thought it would help me cope with my problems...but, obviously, that only made it worse and it led to the breaking point - my failed suicide attempt.

anyway, during this time there were people who wanted to help me. my older brothers always sensed that something was wrong and would try prying me open in attempts to help, but i would deny any advice thrown at me. 'why should i do these things, it's not going to work for me, i'm just too different from everyone else, so there's no point in even trying.' this was what i told myself instead of accepting help from others, and it was this mentality that i feel was at the root of my dark past. i was afraid of failure and would avoid trying anything anybody told me because of that.

eventually, nearing the end of my senior year, i met one of my best friends who without a doubt is responsible for helping me make a complete turnaround on my life. he was in a few of my classes but we never really shared anything more than awkward small-talk. on one occasion he asked me for a ride home and i was very close to making up a reason why i couldn't, but i'm glad i did because it sparked a close connection with someone, which was something that i had simply never felt before. he told me that he could always tell just from looking at me that i was constantly hurting on a daily basis and wanted to help, because he also shared similar problems in his life. listening to his story and what he went through helped me realize that i wasn't so different from other people after all, that maybe it is possible to make a positive change for your outlook on life. if he did it, why couldn't i do it too?

what i'm trying to get at with all of this is that, you'd be surprised how similar human beings really are on a conscious level. having the mindset that only you are dealing with a certain problem is fallacious, because everyone on this planet is fighting with their own demons on the inside. don't be scared of failure when offered advice, because failure is not as bad as you may perceive it to be. the cost of not trying is so much higher than giving up the chance of making a positive change because the fear of failure is there.

Get a German Shepherd.

Name him Diamond.

Go in adventures with the dog.

Give him a ballistic vest.

Profit.

I'm not afraid of asking help from others. I'm telling strangers I've never met about my most personal thoughts and feelings; I have no reservations whatsoever. I'm not afraid of doing things because they probably won't work.

I don't go to therapy because I have done it and it doesn't work.

I've been "accepting" help from pretty much everyone here and in real life. It's just... nothing they say is really applicable. It's all, "Just, you know, don't feel that way." kind of stuff.

If you have some solid, applicable solution or path to a solution, I'm all ears.

I never said I was the only one with this mindset, though.

Edit: this sounded worse than i wanted it to. i really appreciate you taking the time to try and help me out, whether you're successful or not in the endeavor.
