Comment on Mental health professionals rarely allow you to talk about the socioeconomic factors too

If you really have the intent to be nice to people online, and you really want them to be well, I advise you to result reconsider how you act.
First you tell me I’m wrong about therapists, that the truth is “honestly not particularly complex”, act condescending by saying “obviously” this and that. And then when I try to be nuanced about what we’re talking about, you ironically complain that this isn’t a “nuanced discussion”, then cut the discussion short…
So I don’t really appreciate you making me out to be the confrontational one, when you basically came in here, implied I’m a simpleton, and left as soon as I tried to explain myself.

I’m very sorry to have made you feel like a simpleton, and could not be more genuine in my hope you have a nice day. Think the hyperbolic conflation of questioning a therapists role in society with seeing them as part of an illuminati conspiracy set a difficult tone. I’m also getting kinda blown up in another thread right now. If there’s something else you’d like to say, by all means feel free

No no you’re good. I appreciate the kindness. I also try to be kind to those who are kind, which is why I bothered to be persnickety about tone in the first place, because it did seem like you had good intentions.

Man, I don’t know… “I’m sorry if I made you feel like a simpleton” sounds patronizing as fuck, and I’m not sure they deserve the benefit of the doubt that you’ve given them.

Yeah, I wasn’t going to get precise about it, but technically they didn’t make me feel like a simpleton, just made me feel like they thought I was a simpleton, lmao. But its all good.
