[Aspie] Psychology is one of the lowest IQ disciplines

[AlbanianLegend1994]

Therapists be like "omg I am appalled at what your son/brother/etc did to you"

Meanwhile, they only have one side of the story.

What's that have to do with psychology?

[prince of shitskins]

yep yep yep

you know the type of person. they just habitually shit talk other people and they're always the victim. maybe they will make some pathetic concession in an attempt to come off as humble, but i see right through it now

once you become one of these people it's already over. just a bitter, moldy lemon of a human being

shit talking is for impotent giga losers with extremely pathetic lives. if you hate a person just kidnap them and torture them to death or shut the fuck up

being a psychologist is the easiest job in the world. a monkey could do it. you just sit there for 30 minutes while some faggot runs their mouth about their bullshit self imposed problems and then you go "that will be $200, please."

the ultimate irony of this post? i am describing myself

only way to escape this trap is cut off your fingers and cut out your tongue. even the sweetest fruit will turn into a bitter, rotted husk if they live long enough and interact with enough people

the mistake they make is believing professional pretention that the physician-patient relationship can or ought to be different in kind from any everyday relationships

psychologists are in the final analysis just surrogate perfect friends who immediately validate every emotion regardless of the veracity of the story bringing about that emotion, and all "mental health" just comes down to being validated. And what people construe as validation depends on their upbringing, morals, traumas, etc.  The "mentally healthiest" (LOL) people are just those who have a virtual psychologist in their head at all times

like the canonical cliché in psychoanalytic literature about analysands falling in love with their analysts.  But they can't allow it because they're "professionals" who must keep "private" life separate. In reality  falling in love with someone and curing them are one and the same and you can't have them without the other.  The whole idea of psychology as a "profession" is moot.

crazy there are "patients" acutely aware of this fact and they still feel compelled to pay people to listen to their bs 

a true friend tells you to shut the fuck up when you're being annoying/droning on


people with baggage should just do the honorable thing and kill themselves

because to be cured you need the combination of affective intensity + being aware of it

just being aware of it doesn't make the cure

the affective intensity only comes about when you  produce the awareness in the presence of another person who sympathizes

Not everyone can have the psychologist in their head to an equal extent

And not all of those who don't have it in their head don't  have the friends that can supply the necessary validation in lieu (for good or bad reasons)

For what remains after all that, we farm out to psychologists, and we do so for good reason, and compensate them for this labor.

Otherwise those people will manipulate their husbands or shoot up schools depending on their gender.

even me being aware of all these dynamics doesnt mean i wont suffer from them myself
