Another thing to consider is that the problem might not be you, it might be that the situation sucks.
- ethbro 11y agoSNORT I hadn't heard that quote from him before. (Edit: Apparently Gibson attributes it to someone else he retweeted, but the internet is unclear on where exactly it came from)
- nostrademons 11y agoAny good therapist would probably ask "So, what are you going to do about it?" Changing your situation and changing your self are both acceptable answers, but the therapist should at least point out that changing your situation is possible too.
- copsarebastards 11y agoAgreed. I didn't mean for my comment to sound like I was discouraging people from seeking therapy. The best thing my therapist did for me was help me realize that I needed to be willing to cut people out of my life.
