This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

finding a good therapist is like dating, but you gotta pay for dates. it's hard finding one that's good for you.

if op had the bandwidth to treat going to therapy like dating, they probably would not be a virgin, and would possibly not need therapy

Im not sure if this fake person would solve all their problems by having sex.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

that was not the implication, the implication is that if they were healthy enough to seek social fulfillment by “dating” multiple therapists, then they would have been healthy enough that they would have found social fulfillment by dating.

not that sex is some magic panacea.

i am pointing out an oxymoron

sucks so much that finding good therapy is so hard, and way too much effort for for those who barely have the capacity to get one.

Why pay for therapy when you can pay for sex?

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

i doubt that would fix the problem they are in therepy for

You must not live in America.

What, you think we get free healthcare here? Like some kind of civilized country?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago

I know we don't get free health care here. I spent days fighting to get my insurance situation fixed because I'm disabled and the American corporate healthcare quagmire suuuuucks.

Huh? They were saying that in response to the other person implying that you don't have to pay for therapy.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think they were implying you don't have to pay for dates...

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, they explicitly said you have to pay for dates.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

Ah fuck, you are right.

I parsed it differently and changed the meaning of "dates" mid-sentence, which one shouldn't do when reading.
