I actually got therapy

You already got more positive things in therapy than I did after over a year of sessions with two different therapists. Hopefully it continues for you.

That's what my therapist told me aswell, albeit she did kinda try to push the idea initially by talking about how I shouldn't rely on external validation but rely on internal validation instead. But after a bit of back and forth she admitted that internal validation is really just internalized external validation. You need to have experienced a pattern of external validation in your past in order to actually feel internal validation. Because it really makes no sense to be confident in a thing that you are objectively bad that. There's no reason for me to feel confident in a situation that I have nothing but negative experiences to call back on in relation to that thing.

But despite that, in the end, she subtely suggested for me to stop coming because she felt like we weren't making any progress and she thought she was just wasting my time and money, because at the end of the day a therapist can't make people like you more which is ultimately the source of my suffering.

Lol she used this advice on other women and it works so she tried it on you too.

We could've told you this for 0$.

Therapy is blue pill meaningless advise from a feminist meant to take your hard earned cash.

Petrosmine · 2023-08-29T04:32:05+00:00

if you go to therapy because of rejection due to ugliness you are wasting money, you are paying them to gaslight you and pretend to comfort you like you are a weak soyboy

Yeah, i've been attending therapy for a few weeks now. With a woman therapist at that. And here's the twist. She actually validated me.

Call Homeland Security NOW, she's an offworlder and she's here to conquer us-

er wait no, if she needs a fifth column how do I sign up? LOL

I've been told by feminist therapists trained in men's issues that my complaints about others behaviours were projection and that I was the one being abusive.

So either she was right and a real pro , or just a normal woman. Not sure which.

She is telling the truth and is a good therapist, physical touch is a need for men it’s not a want, we are hard wired to seek it

Told me that sex and feeling appreciated is actually very important for our mental health. That i should be supported and encouraged in finding ways to get it.

.. only, that "support and encouragement for finding it" will never actually get you it, and your mental health will suffer, i.e., you will have significantly less joy in your life.

Do you want "validation" or do you want to get what you actually want?

A therapist told you that learning to be happy with yourself is toxic?

Your gramma isn't your therapist, bro.

StevenSeagalFan · 2023-08-29T01:00:44+00:00

Learn to be happy on your own is not meant to be taken literal. It means have hobbies and maintain friendships and family relationships and not dwell in your room 24/7. The idea an intimate relationship with a woman will cure all of your ills and complete you spiritually and physically is a cope.

ROBYoutube · 2023-08-28T22:04:56+00:00

That i should be supported and encouraged in finding ways to get it.

Uhoh lol. I'm glad you're euphoric now, because when you get to the bit I quoted, you will be less happy.

Brutal

Honestly it's counterintuitive but most therapists are based AF these days and - as they're at the cutting edge - are starting to take men's issues deadly seriously.
