Psychiatrist I'm seeing called me out on what he thought was "bullshit".
I told the psychiatrist I'm seeing that I know I need to get out of the house, get a job, do volunteer work etc. that I know these are the steps I need to take to get better. He said "I think that's bullshit, I don't think you feel any of that". He didn't say it in an angry tone. What he meant was that I don't personally feel these things even if I know them to be true. Then he said "how do you feel now that I've called you on your bullshit". I think he was trying to spark an emotional response since one of the issues is I hide my emotions all the time. Does this seem rather harsh to you or not really?

3. Trying to get you to 'unhide' your emotions, maybe.
Don't know whether that's good or bad.

4. The question is, of course: "How do you feel about that?"

5. Now that I've had some time to mull it over...
I think he is right. I really don't embrace these things emotionally as things I have to do. I know them factually as the steps I need to take but I don't feel it emotionally. Otherwise I'd be taking those steps or I wouldn't be here. He is definitely a psychiatrist who practises "tough love" more than others I've met. Maybe that's a good thing. But I also know I don't like leaving feeling worse than when I started.

6. The most important sentence from your last post......
"I don't like leaving feeling worse than when I started."

Is it me, or do all these functional retards have mental problems?

Made me think of this.

I would pay some real money to have the pay-per-view rights to The Gunny's (wall-to-wall) counselling sessions with the Locust proglodyte.
"Maybe we should chug on over to mamby pamby land where maybe we can find some self confidence for you, you jack wagon!"
:lol:
That's what Loconuts needs...a drill sergeant, not a shrink.

Six figures, minimum.
It has been mentioned before, but I am starting to believe that Loconuts is someone's mole. I know that most DUmmies are completely stupid, but he/she/it is a little over the top.
His spelling and grammar are pretty good too.

It sounds more like the good doctor is tired of hearing you whine.
It's called a kick in the ass, stupid. The world would be a much better place if all of you emotional cripples received more of them.
:lmao: your shrink is tired of you wasting his time. He knows you aren't honest and are only saying that crap to act human. Don't talk, just do it.

As one of the quotes in my signature block says, Esse quam videri. Latin for, "Deeds, not words," IIRC.
Very close in meaning, but the translation is "To be, rather than to seem to be".

From Cicero, "Rare is the man who prefers to be virtuous, rather than to appear so." Machiavelli reversed it, and said that a successful ruler would seem virtuous or strong, rather than actually being so.
As my grandmother always said; "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

Of course that could mean something else. Like the liberals phony altruistic policies for helping people, always seems to get them the reverse result.
