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.

so you're asexual?

I want to have sex, I just haven't

So, quick note, you can be asexual as in have no attraction to anyone and still be open to sex. "I just haven't found the right person yet!" can be it and you don't understand the difference for decades.

That sounds more like aromanticism.

You can want sex but not be sexually attracted to anyone.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, that's called aromanticism. You can also be attracted to people without wanting sex, which is usually referred to as asexuality. You can also be both.

That's what I said, that is asexuality, not aromanticism.

(But yes, aromanticism is close and it's tough to figure out the difference if you have one or the other or both because the two are often thought to be the same thing)

therapist is offering to suck his dick and he's just not getting it

I think I can see what went wrong here. The therapist is probably trying to disrupt their internal narrative but hasn't established the baseline trust. Confrontation can be important in therapy. Sometimes, people can get the idea that their agency doesn't matter, that they are just the sort of person who doesn't get to (lose weight/have sex/get that job/etc.) and part of a therapist's job can be to get the patient to break down that belief by questioning it, but if they haven't established the necessary trust with the patient, it just comes across like a trollish comment on the internet, a random attack from a stranger who might not only not be doing it for your best interest but even to be hurtful for their own amusement.

Yeah the "you didn't really try" can be super dismissive from a stranger. Or it can be a positive message like "you are stronger than you think" coming from a friend. But I don't think even coming a friend you'd get that, when you are down the hole.

This is the only sensible response I can see in the whole comments section. Lot of replies from people who think a therapist’s job is to cheer you up with a wholesome pep talk and send you on your way.

i wish a lady would interrupt my narrative with her baseline trust.

Fake: Anon would read David Smail's How To Survive Without Psychotherapy before going to therapy

Straight: She then "suggest" hypnosis for his not getting laid problem. Then over many sessions while she is planting post-hypnotic suggestions and triggers, she turns him into a mindless obedient drone towards every women he meets, even when it is inconvenient for him.
