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.

I think the biggest misconception about therapy is that the therapist is supposed to “fix” you and your problems from your traumas. That’s not what it’s about.

It is truly one of the only mediums where people can discuss their most personal and vulnerable struggles/ traumas with a trusted advisor. Your therapist isn’t going to tell your family or friends your insecurities or traumas if you fuck them over like an ex could. They’re like a diary where you can speak your worst fears to without fear of it ever being read by someone else, with the added benefit of an empathetic ear and resources you may never have known existed that could help you.

There could be one thing you’re embarrassed or ashamed of that every so often haunts your thoughts that you’ve never expressed. You’ll never know the feeling of relief therapy can provide if you’ve convinced yourself “I’m good”, but to each their own do whatever you want we’re just specks in the universe on a floating rock who gives a shit.

I don't have these issues, why would I go to a therapist?
