Once I said to my therapist "I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time", and she said "No, this is like top 5".

I swear, some people have failed so hard to raise their children that "no" remains a foreign concept in to adulthood... It's so utterly insane. (no I don't assume that over autism/etc usually but in this context?)
The fuck are you talking about? If anything i took the word no MORE directly than op was intending

I was describing my insane in-laws for the record.

wrote last edited by [email protected]No, you didn't. "No" meant, "no, your presumptive train of thought was incorrect." The rest of the text should've clued you in as to what was meant so long as you properly exclude what was assumed before the "no".
If this is still difficult for you, there are many resources out there to improve reading comprehension.
'I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time" ... "NO, ..."

Pretty much covers the entirety of the "thought" processes behind the current administration.

This is an edit and not a footnote. Therefore the * comes before the word and not after.

It's cute that you think "science" is what I do...
wrote last edited by [email protected]Well... if you get really good at what you do, then it's often said that you "have it down to a science."

This would be a great setup for a dark comedy.

Like she could have you bend over and she'd put a paper on your back and write on it?

Dude just made shit up, it's a fever dream with three dollar words.

my surgeon wanted me to donate my body for research. he retired before i died (we expected me to survive ten years something like thirty years ago) but there's a small corpus of research out there on me. seven or eight papers from various doctors. it's kinda weird.

Also I wonder is that spelling intentional pedant bait? Probably not, but it is in my head canon

I had to read that twice, but yeah, it does make sense.

No, I've had similar experiences. If your experiences/perspectives are considerably outside the norm, many "shrinks" - who likely are among "the norm" - just don't get it. Never mind there's always some who are just there for the money - my mother was quite happy with hers because he told her what she wanted to hear, which ultimately caused more harm than good.
EDIT: Political/religious leanings also often play into how things go.
Absolutely this, I had one assigned therapist/* who really turned my life around and it was all because she'd been through the meat grinder when she was younger too.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Oh, get over yourself. It was in no way an insult unless you're looking for it to be one. We all have our challenges - some more significant than others, of course - which makes being able to laugh at ourselves an important means of relieving the stress of those challenges.
I have ADD, depression, & some other mental challenges of my own. My spouse has several physical health issues (which cause additional mental health issues). Nobody understands or cares & we just have to deal with it.
I get the sensitivity to an extent, but you need to learn to distinguish between malicious intent versus those just trying not to take things too seriously (or in this case, trying to encourage someone else not to). None of us are perfect, and that includes you.
The important thing is that we try our best to not only get through this crappy excuse for a life ourselves, but also to help others do so when we can. My attempt to inject some mild humor into a situation where someone was being a bit overly condescending, while also having fun with the accidental double-post of a comment was just that - some light-heated poking of fun at something being taken too seriously.
