my parents will flip flop, if they are being raw and honest(usually yelling in anger) they end up telling me I'm extremely mentally ill and need professional help, but if they are trying to get me to do something they will try to say that I am perfectly normal and there is nothing wrong with me or even go as far as to say I have some master plan I've been following for the past decade where I am just pretending to be mentally ill and it's all a big ruse made to spite them

I have had this also in the past. They will think it is all an act but my mother is insane anyway.

What do they think professional help will do? for a crab I get it but a wizard cannot be helped because the problem is not only themselves but also society.
How will therapy etc make me want to go get a succubus when I do not want that as it is not appealing… we are built differently.

What mental issues do you have btw

>>258931
I got definite anxiety diagnoses and also told I have schizotypal personality or some kinda schizo disorder or bipolar by many doctors but it’s not anything official I hate the meds, so basically I just have anxiety but also people usually think I’m odd so some schizo kinda thing don’t really know

If you can get benzos they are good for abusing but otherwise fuck all medication is a giant meme.

I'm one of the least weird members of my family

>aunt has anxiety or depression, so much so that she hasn't worked in 40 years. Same with her husband
>uncle (same side) had schizophrenia
>cousin (same side) is a single mom who lets her kids run amok, doing what they want
>the mentally normal parts of that side seem to be at odds with one another over something, usually to do with my uncle
>brother just came out as non binary or something.

Being a shy, if weird, 30+ year old friendless virgin is normal in comparison. Only upside of being in a disfunctional family, I suppose. They probably talk about me behind my back, but I don't care

This is the saddest thing in your post.
God your family is trash mines shit as well but no faggots

It's no wonder I became a wizard, with such a wacked out family. Feels like I'm a part of some shitty comedy.

Shrinks try to tell me I am the way I am due to fucked family but I prefer to blame myself.
I laugh at my life it is funny it is so fucked

I mean, I'm at least partially to blame for my wizardhood. I have little to no interest in normal society (outside of the consumption of mass media). Nor do I have any desire to fit into it. Partly due to my family, partly due to my interactions with non-family, partly due to my personality (which ties into both). I've never been to a shrink, because they'd get me to pay them to tell me "go outside" tier advice or try to sell me happy pills.

As unhealthy as it is, treating our lives like absurdist dark comedy is probably the best way to deal with it. Or, at least, it is for me.
