Normalfaggots are fucking miserable. Therapists do nothing. Failed normalfaggots pay them money to have a rental friend for sometime. In old times people use to at least talk with a priest or some village elder. Now everything is expensive and broken.

Society is fucked. Even normalfaggots are fucked.

Why is it treated as a real profession that does something?

>How come so much of this mental health "please get help" stuff hinges on therapy stuff? I still feel like I'm missing something.

it's just a way to dismiss your problems and avoid any responsibility, it's a subtle way to blame you for having a broken leg and not going to the hospital like you should. therapy doesn't work for real mental problems and just be glad that these days it's just "talk" therapy, they used to stick icepicks into your brain through your eye socket as treatment, so called lobotomies. you'd end up clearly brain damaged but no longer presenting problematic behavior so you were "cured". then you had electroconvulsive therapy where they just shock your brain with electricity and hope something re-arranges itself in there and you either become a docile idiot or you become a productive member of society. the history of psychiatry is the history of society not knowing what to do with the misfits that don't belong and think the wrong way.

It's hard to explain, but normalfags really do not like to hear people complain or whine about their lives (especially so if they're loser men). So when they hear you whine, it brings down the "vibe" and makes them sad.

So the "Try multiple therapists" angle is part of them trying to make you into the bad guy and to put you into an unwinnable situation where you can be blamed for your own problems, either in the sense you can solve it but you don't or you deserve it.

Psychology is basically a secular religion at this point. The therapist is a priest of capitalism and tell them that thou shall become a productive drone once again or you'll look like loser to other """normal""" people. He manipulates people with cope slop and make desperate people dependent on him so he can grab more money out of their pockets.

See how sciences replaced humanities. They want drones who only work and never think about larger questions of life. The materialist tell normalcattle that they ought to sacrifice everything for material success and only after that they'll be happy. I remember watching a scene in soviet film "Carnes are Flying" in which a worker's only son fucks off to the front lines so to cope with the foolishness of son he goes back to work to do overtime to divert his mind.

The reality of this world is tragic. Humans always knew this and in response to this they created all sorts of copes to keep a man busy until his death bed. They even had copes to delude him there. Then came the modern retard smug faggot man who I know better them all so with speed he trampled the thousand of years of copes for very bullahit broken ones. Those copes clearly aren't working so now you have every man for himself and whole weight of universe upon their shoulders. Here comes the con men like therapist who money rape desperate people.

That's fucked up. But there are so many of them. All of them have clients?

>>298801
You won't find this type of faggot shit in villages. Their clients are mostly bored rich people and other cosmopolitan urbanites. They have linked therapy with sensibility, education and modesty. Let me quote Emil Cioran

>At the Spanish border, a few hundred tourists, most of them Scandinavian, were waiting at the customs office. A telegram is delivered to a heavyset, obviously Spanish succubus. Opening it, she discovers that her mother has died, and utters a succession of groans. What a godsend, I was thinking, to be able to release one’s grief on the spot instead of concealing it, accumulating it, as any of these palefaces would do, staring in embarrassment and victimized by their discretion, their restraint, until one of these days they will spend all they have at the psychoanalyst’s.

Psychology is a disease itself.

>>298802
Would a world without psychology be objectively better?

>>298799
You know I have on the other hand always respected when someone shared their problems with me, I though it meant that they either trust me to be vulnerable in front of me or they are trying to become better friends. Although most people don't want to be friends with me because I am ugly. Hell, even ugly people don't like other ugly people.

Never. This world is doomed.

>A millennium of warfare consolidated the West; a century of “psychology” has ripped it to tatters.

Cioran, All Gall is Divided

The whole push for therapy as the silver bullet feels like something that's been popularized by well off redditors. They can afford to go from shrink to shrink because they were born well off enough to have the resources for it. Their mental issues don't inhibit them from going so it's really that easy.

"go to le therapy" is also a sort of passive aggressive phrase where you're told you're the problem with the pretence of care. If you push back they'll claim you're entitled and don't want to get better while purposefully ignoring your point. If they were really honest they'd just respond with "not my problem" because that's what it really is.

It's also telling that we have more shrinks, more research and more people going to therapy than ever before yet peoples mental seems to get worse and worse. Almost like we live in a world that's squeezing us for all the money and attention we've got.

I get the points of critique you mention but here in first world it literally costs zero '0' money to go to a therapist, to extend therapy or to hop to the next one. It's part of health care insurance system.

Where? I lived in two different "highly developed" countries and they both would not come close to covering the full cost. For a 170 euro appointment the healthcare system would pay like 60 euros maybe, and that's under certain conditions like having a diagnosis etc

A Spanish succubus. I like the notion. This is very inspiring.
