wanting to be alone is not an anti-social behavior… aggression and wanting to hurt people is… which the op is not expressing. Don’t know where you got this “text book antosocial behavior” definition from.
Comment on Should I just quit urban and social life for a rural and lonely life?

I wanna pose this very kindly and politely because I know a lot of people are against it sadly but
This is textbook concerning antisocial behavior and you should take it very seriously. There’s a few options for online if you’d prefer but therapy really isn’t that bad of an idea to try. It’s nice having someone you can get along with and be vulnerable with and have help you out with “shit that’s stuck in your teeth” as mine says.
Some stuff is too tough and is way too bitter to handle on our own and this world is infinitely bigger than you and will swallow you whole if you don’t fight for a life you want.
Stay healthy bro. Fight for yourself. We’re all rooting for your best health mentally and physically 💜

While I disagree with you, I’m not a psychologist so I should refrain from using language like this as it’s misleading as “fact” when it’s just lazy vocab usage.
Appreciate the call out

Therapy? As someone who’s benefited from years of therapy, therapy isn’t supposed to end rational responses when the world’s gone mad. I’m afraid far too many people confuse therapy with magic.

Even if the world goes to complete and total shit...I'm still gonna talk about it and process it with someone.
PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 9 months ago
That’s good and healthy. All I’m saying is that therapy won’t fix the problems underlying this. It can be useful in processing, but I’m tired of people acting like therapy will solve structural problems.

Considering you know nothing about the severity of this situation or validity of the situation outside of OPs current head space and know fuck all about therapy apparently, just stop. You’re possibly hurting someone.
PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Clearly, you didn’t read my post. Hard to spend years in therapy and not know fuck-all about it. I never said don’t go to therapy. I said don’t expect miracles. Therapy is good, but it’s not a solution to structural issues.
stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 9 months ago
You’re making that assumption though. You are assuming that it’s only structural and nothing else. There is 0 harm in talking with a therapist.
I did read what you said, you just didn’t understand what I was getting at. I’ve got a feeling we’re on the same page here believe it or not
