There are far too many positive comments about psychologists here.

39 here. Been seeing psychologists since I’m 23. Moved to Australia, came back, created a company, successful, donated thousands to charities even before creating my company. But am I any happy? No.

Got fatter around 35, dropped sports, and Covid was the end of it, it’s like a billion people willing to ruin the lives of people who already struggle socializing and have suicidal ideation, by shunning them down home.

Went to HP. Did a few, ahem, crimes. Quite a few. Yes, it was revenge, for my sisters who are voting for all the laws against people who succeed financially, and against people who struggle socially. They call them “being social” but it’s only being social for people they choose. As a man I love giving, and hearing that male white men should be shunned from the economy and from families, it’s the most blocker of my life. There’s no way around it, feminists win every time, the only thing men have is they work a lot and offset the feminist game, until my company will be taken over and will serve “a social purpose”.

I’m a bit back on my feet, I moved again, still have no steady friends but at least I have good employees and the startup is thrilling.

Psychologists aren’t the panacea. It’s worth trying but they don’t do magic. Sometimes the world is fucked up and you just need to pull through it. 90% of life is putting one foot ahead of the other, and some people have it worse than you.

I wouldn’t say 43 isn’t the end of it, but for the time I’ve been seeing psychologists and opening up and taking about my feelings, well they still didn’t give me the thing I needed the most since I was 15, an appropriate level of success with girls.

So instead of giving, I’m taking back now. It’s no good, but it levels the unfairness.
