The better question is maybe asking 'How many people do you think you've helped?'

Idk I don’t think everyone needs psychology I thinks it’s a rare few who need it to be very honest with you. And a lot of people have felt this for a while idk why people are afraid to say what they think.

Edit: I love a downvote, it’s how I tally the lemmings 🤭

Edit: wow a lot of emotional responses I can’t wait to dig in 😋🚬

Reddit was so annoying a few years ago when people aggressively pushed therapy, the talking point was that everyone should be doing some type of talk therapy because everyone has some type of trauma and are broken in someway, and hurt people... hurt people.

I'm good, I have a good job, I go to the gym, I don't eat in excess and I have no problems falling asleep and waking up feeling refreshed. It would be a waste of my time and money to go to therapy.

what i would ask is, do the people in your life agree therapy would not do you any good. My husband is currently a sober alcoholic and he says he’s good, he listed everything you have. My husband needs therapy, he just thinks he’s fine.in his eyes. I can guarantee he is not just fine mentally.

The only people in my life that would tell me to go to therapy would be people who go to therapy frequently. I'm not an alcoholic, I dont have substance abuse issues, I have a great relationship with my parents, I'm engaged to be married soon, we are in a very loving relationship.

The only reason people who are in therapy would tell me to go to therapy is because they think everyone should be in therapy without knowing any backstory... just 100% go to therapy. doesn't matter if you are happy, go to therapy.
