Small can syndrome

And I thought the name “five guys” couldn’t get any more homoerotic

“I’ve guys” definitely sounds like an invitation

Doubt they have a returns desk.

Of course. Independence can not be fostered by dependence, either on ourselves or others.

Where I suspect OP is going to struggle is everyone telling them to find what they need inside isn’t going to make sense to them.

If they’ve never felt that external love and validation they’re not going to find it in themselves. We learn and grow up by watching others.

Monkey see, monkey do applies to relationships, including those with ourselves.

Comes with a price.

Speaking generally, as I don’t know you, most isolated people have a desire, drive or yearning for connection.

Its a feature of the species, baring the rare exceptions that prove the rule.

I think if you expect to be able to function without relationships which affirm who you are then you’re in for an uphill battle.

Humans need each other. For so many things including validation, though the word means different things to different people.

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

Does it become legal if the rats are euthanised before feeding them to the cat?

I think that’s how it works in the UK

The counterpoint is that mental illness can be every bit as dibilitating, intractable and painful as physical illness.

There’s a long history of mental health being brushed off and seen as less significant than physical health which has caused a lot of personal and social problems.

The counterpoint to that is that people can recover from mental illness in a way which is not always possible for physical illness, the type of illness which is most relevant to euthanasia legislation.

The counterpoint to that is our societies rarely provide what people need to recover from the most serious, or even moderate, mental health issues.

So there’s some contradictions built into this within our cultures. Personally I come down where you are, that it’s a bad idea to make permanent choices without a sound mind.

I think it might already have happened

Now we compete to rank which humans are most unstable!

I absolutely love my work.

Doing online therapy is something I can keep doing until I’m literally incapable.

I won’t want to stop, I believe, though I’ll wind down my schedule as I get older.

Its work without meaning or purpose that people really object to I believe, being bored isn’t fun for very long

The therapy world is a small subculture, 80% of my friends are therapists at this point.

We met when working together, delivering a training course.

😁

You could write a comedy script about therapists with caricatures like that.

I’d watch it

Therapist magic is divination based, let’s you see more.

Its not enhancement based so doesn’t work to control each other.

Does lead to some interesting, deep and honest conversations!

Totally.
