"Nobody would listen" yet people (not just men) don't go to therapy where someone's not only PAID to listen, but to help you challenge those cognitive distortions and apply the skills gained to heal with people that do want to listen without the payment. There's 8 billion people in the world. It's simply not true "nobody would listen or care."

Edit: 7cups.com is free.

Sure. I gotta pay just to talk to people. Love this society. I think I will just isolate for a bit like the meme says.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Therapy is not about talking to people, it's about helping you be best version of yourself. About helping you help yourself. Instead of continue doing whatever you think you're doing, with isolation and self harm and constant loathing.

You can get "Lol, grow some!" much cheaper and faster on 4chan. No need for therapy.

You can also punch yourself in the nuts completely for free, but why would you do any of that, it's the opposite of helping

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

That's the point. Therapists don't help. At best they do nothing, at worst they insult you.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

You've never been to one, you've never even saw one at work, you only saw some weird representation at a bad tv show.

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Go on, keep spitting in my face. I'm used to my problems not existing for other people including therapists. I know the drill by now.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

My man, your excessive self-loathing and all the connected problems is exactly, precisely what good therapy is for.

[-] zeropointone@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Keep going. You're only proving my point.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

We're at a point when I'm participating in your fetish, and I'm not sure I want to

  1. Not everyone can afford a therapist
  2. Not all therapists are equal
  3. Just because there are 8 billion people in the world doesn’t mean there is someone there for you that will genuinely listen to you

But people with your attitude is exactly what I’m talking about.

There are sliding scale agencies, some taking on clients for free. Take care.

Aaand of course you are not a man.

Can you simply accept that you may not know what other people go through?

[-] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 hours ago

Not all men are the same. All humans vary in life.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

You don't have to be a man to understand the male experience. We're very vocal about it.

Volunteering armchair psychologist in .world?

Who really wants to know of something someone went through without it being beneficial for the victim? Are you going to commit to a gofundme?

Don't publish in a vacuum, praxis mental care, for those that really consent.

Brii Ash, wasn't doing so in insta.
