i love my friends but yeah, the rare occasions we actually do see each other they're also Beaten Down By Everything so it's a dice roll whether we access the deeper layers of our connection.
how tf do you vet a therapist for at least being socialist-friendly? the last two guys ive tried have seemed to not get it. i wanna just be able to say "FUCK it's all so pointless and empty (it being spending most of our waking hours working for a wage and the rest in atomized little bubbles)" and have it be intuitively understood and validated even if not endorsed (it would ofc be worrying if a therapist endorsed such a viewpoint lol)
2nd therapy sesh and i'm starting to feel it's a bit paint by numbers and generic. not much beyond mirroring/parroting. maybe it just starts with that until the relationship is more established/deepened, but idk. i'll give it a few more sessions but not sure it's gonna help me much w/ this particular practitioner.
EDIT: actually i think i'm gonna listen to my gut and just fire this therapist and find a better fit. life's too short, my gut's usually right about this kind of thing. giving things a chance can be overrated sometimes.
In that moment i saw in my heart six months from now when she and I were in the kitchen making novelty snacks for a game night we invited our friends to. She has me taste a spoon. It is too salty. She looks away. I have to spend ten minutes sitting in a display recliner pretending to read the nutrition facts of a bag of hello kitty strawberry marshmallows. After which time I have contemplated all the mistakes I have made in life that prevent me from knowing that moment and I can continue my day
Based beyond words
I love my wife so fucking much and it really seems to alienate me from my cishet male friends.
he/they so maybe it doesn't count but fwiw i am heavily pro wifeguy. i might even consider myself Wifeguy Aspiring. might even go so far as to say that you are, in fact, goals
I will say I think some of our dorky soft loverboys here do things like this now and then
i haven't done a deep dive on it but there's no chance either way that i will stop consuming slop well into the evening
