it's hard for me to say that i have a genuine interest in trying therapy because that would mean that i would have to admit to myself that i'm at fault, i'm a problem and there is something wrong with me that needs to be fixed. i understand your comment about people without mental illnessess going to therapy but i don't see myself or my views as a problem because, again, "i'm right and anybody who disagrees is wrong". i have enough self-awareness to know that i'm being immature but i think it's just my personality
but to correct you on something, i'm actually very empathic as a person. i have a great understanding of other humans it's just that my brain goes "i don't like them". kind of like how you read a book
. you are able to understand every sentences and meanings but the book itself, you do not like.but i appreciate your passion about therapy. i can tell you have benefited a lot from it which is really cool!
comparing humans to books is imo lacking in empathy and the idea that other people have different lives and emotions and personalities. people are very different from books. social races are not genres, not every person belonging to that social race is the same, so to have a generalized negative opinion of someone based off of a factor that has 0.01% to do with who they are as a person isnt very empathetic
