I like some very bad things too and generally don't get most of the harsh critique that's heaped on some things, a lot of that is just for show anyways. But liking the last thing because it's the one you remember really sounds like some brain issue.

It's pretty interesting tbh. I wonder, if given the choice between the movie he last saw and any other one, which he'd pick.

He sounds like a very cool guy. Does his girlfriend want him to flip his poo poo and argue about everything they watch or something?

If you've identified a problem, the next step is trying to fix it. Obviously you can't make yourself like a movie but you can at least try to emulate a regular human being by googling a list of critically acclaimed films and albums and mentioning things from those lists when asked. Maybe try to guess which one is her favorite next time you marathon movies, then say you liked that one? Or, just call the mothership and have them repair your neural circuits. Sounds like a fuse is definitely blown somewhere in there.

Maybe part of the problem is an underdeveloped sense of analysis or criticism. Not having the tools to identify why you like what you like makes you unable to speak Art, because all art is trying to convey something that's on the artists' minds, and liking a thing means it at least kind of succeeded. Reading or learning about the process of making art (such as a book on writing or filmmaking) might help, in the same way learning how a house is built can help you appreciate the design and craftsmanship

Mine is different though, and watching this week's episode of "It's always sunny in philadelphia" with the crow drink made me wanna send this in. The "rotten/rancid food cleanse" craze is currently rolling through Brooklyn in an extremely unpleasant wave quote:I had a weird thing happen to me. First things first. I'm a loser goon in his early 30s, like apparently in many of the anonymous confessions.

I even still live with my parents. The whole nine yards. I'm not fat or goony-looking though, if you saw me on the street without knowing me you wouldn't think I'm the massive loser I am. Until a few days ago, the only contact I ever had with a woman was holding her hands for a few seconds. yeah uh buddy I think I can understand this but really, if she doesn't call off the session, you probably should This kind of thing is unprofessional for a reason -- it's actually really bad for your mental-health process for romantic feelings to get tied up with your therapy. She needs to be a neutral observer on your personal life, not an active part of it. I know finding a therapist is tough, but something like this means you really need to get looking for a new one.

What a roller-coaster of emotions. Yeah, this is inappropriate. It's not "professor has an affair with one of his students"-level inappropriate, but it is inappropriate. I'm not sure what the professional implications for the woman are but I could imagine it could have repercussions for her if this ever was to come out. She seemed at least aware that she overstepped a line she should not have, maybe shocked at her own behavior? What an utterly bizarre setting for your first kiss, fellow goon.

If it continues, or is discovered she'll be fired and can't ever work in the field again. If the confessor is not a garbage person he should end the relationship first.

quote:So I'm a thirty something male who lives alone, works an OK job (about 55k a year), and doesn't want to take time out of video games to date or put up with some female's bullshit. My secret to getting laid is going on all these personals sites like Craigslist or Ashley Madison or what have you and pretend I'm a married guy looking for an affair. The "female" thing was a little on-the-nose but what I'm most skeptical about is the idea that people regularly had successful affairs using Ashley Madison quote:Hi yeah I'm the former incel/Nice Guy that just got posted. I don't remember what I put in the subject line so if you don't believe it's me then whatever. That story is 100% true (ok my dick is like 6.5" but who gives a gently caress), I really just wrote it for cathartic release, since I don't talk about that time in my life. It's something my girlfriend doesn't know about me and I'll most likely take it to the grave because I'm so embarrassed by it. My friends (the two girls that I owe my life to) know I was pretty hosed up and depressed then but they don't know the extent of how deeply I resented men who were good with women, and women in general. It also scares the poo poo out of me a little because if the whole incel/MRA online community had come around sooner, then I could very well possibly be one of those morons. I feel bad for them in a strange sort of way - it's such a toxic echo chamber and these people just want to belong to some community. I had the same feeling, I just wanted to belong somewhere, until I had that moment of clarity that, holy poo poo, it wasn't everyone else that was the problem, it was me. And I fixed it. Everybody who didn't get any action in high school had some resentful thoughts from time to time. Myself, I was lucky enough to think of it as a problem I had rather than a problem everyone else was forcing on me, which allowed me to (eventually) grow out of it.

Agreed, just go on Wednesday and say that you don't think your professional relationship should continue, ask for a recommendation for a (male) therapist outside of her practice, and ask if you could continue having a personal relationship now that she's not your therapist anymore.

I would still be very cautious about a relationship with her. She no doubt feels sorry for anon. after hearing about all his troubles and getting to know him as a person and probably feels like he deserves her/someone like her. But that doesn't necessarily translate into her actually being into you. Take it from someone who had a lovely short lived relationship with someone (who wasn't my therapist) who went out with me because she liked me as a person and thought I deserved someone like her, but wasn't really all that into me.

No matter what he does he's going to regret it. Either he walks away and always wonders about it or he gets involved and eventually crushed when it collapses. On the one hand the first choice is far less traumatic. On the other the sex might be amazing.

All relationships collapse (except for the last one when they live happily ever after, and that doesn't happen much) so that's not a reason not to enter one.

It also might have been a heat of the moment thing and she might end up backpedaling hard. When that whole thing happened she apparently wasn't too happy it happened after it ended, looking at that how abruptly she ended the contact that day. I agree that therapists need to have neutrality and an observing position regarding their patients life. As the mental healthcare professional she is (diploma and everything, confessor said himself) she should know a lot better than that, and depending of what mental state the confessor is in, this might have even been quite unethical. Even if he switches therapists this might impede his progress in a serious manner. Then again, therapists are people too and I'm sure even as a therapist, you like some patients more than others and if you spent many months working with some, you can end up liking them a lot. I guess the day where chatting for a while was already a day where the attraction was stronger than the professionalism and she didn't act as a neutral therapist and her cutting this out means she was aware it wasn't right. I guess last Wednesday whatever professionalism she had went out of the window in favor of her emotions at that moment. I am pretty sure she is conflicted about this at the very least, as she should be. All in all, this confession is well written, it has romance, drama and a main character the average goon can identify with. A solid 4 stars. Please don't use Benedict Cumberbatch as the role of the goon, he's in too much stuff already and this is not his range.

About all the advice so far for kissy therapist goon assumes that she want a relationship with him. She stayed a bit after one session to chat with him, and after a session where he was sobbing uncontrollably about his tragic history with women, was driven to briefly hold his hands and kiss him, possibly very briefly, and probably out of pity. This doesn't necessarily mean she would want to date him.

Honestly to me it sounded more like a guy fantasizing about his therapist typing it with one hand than a story that actually happened. If it is real I'm sure it was down out of pity more than anything and if you try and pursue it you'll likely end up destroying both your personal and professional relationship with her, leading you to whine that once again all the women you like abandon you when it was you who sabotaged it. If she pursues it then fine, but don't date her or anything while you are her patient, even if she is willing to risk her job doing it. And no offense, but you have to consider how healthy the relationship would be considering your self-professed issues. Relationships where one partner tries to fix the other rarely have a happy ending.

I have the feeling if the genders would be swapped the reaction itt would be very different I dunno if a girl talked to a hot guy therapist about how she had never been kissed and how sad it made her I feel like it would be a pretty similar situation, which is to say both are kind of weird. Therapy guy, whether or not the appointment happens tomorrow, try to have an honest conversation with your therapist about what happened and why. You're pretty definitely gonna need to start looking for a new therapist, but you should at least find out if your current one is actually into you or not. If she isn't into you then that is REALLY weird behavior.
