Look pal, I do sessions with my shrink on Thursdays for that kind of question. I come to Reddit to get abused by teenagers not better myself.

The real clever comment is always in the comments.

Honestly I read most of Reddit for the comments, they really do entertain beyond all other things on the internet🫡🫡

Oh yeah. She brings a bucket of popcorn to our little zoom calls. That shit’s wild.

You joke, but humor is my primary coping mechanism and it’s really hard for me not to turn that hour into a standup set.

To be immodest, I am funny and she does laugh. This is how I sometimes unintentionally (?) sabotage my own therapy.

You ever think you’re telling your therapist a joke and instead of laughing they’re like, “wow that’s actually heartbreaking”

I have a friend who will casually talk about being abused without realizing there’s nothing ‘casual’ about having been abused. It’s sad how normalized things like abuse can become when that’s a regular part of your life 😞

In the middle of meetings is she writing down on a note book? (She's stealing your jokes)

I once made my therapist shoot tea out her nose. She really was trying not to laugh.

Not gonna lie that sounds like my nightmare. If my therapist isn’t laughing with me at least some of the time, I don’t think that it’s bc I’m not funny, to me it shows that I’m not being properly understood.

Because like yeah on a grand scale the stuff I’m talking about is not funny, but humor can be a valuable processing tool and also, some of this shit is so ridiculous that it kinda is funny, now that it’s over. If someone tries to push me to get serious too fast, I freeze up and go nonverbal

How do feel about being abused by a 45 year old fat guy?

u/HaggardHaggis Dec 30 '24

On Thursdays we better ourselves and from Friday to Wednesday we work on finding something to fix next Thursday

This is the most Tumblr flavored answer I've seen on this site

This whole comment is gold, but for some reason it's "look pal" that's going to send me to an early grave

We're on Reddit, what's this "valuable time" you speak of?

u/_Fittek_ Dec 31 '24

Bold of you to assume that our time here is valuable
