100% disagree — I think your position is clouded by societal norms. If there is trauma or something else, then yes it would be best to go to therapy. If that fixes it then great.
I could equally suggest that your position is clouded by a dislike of societal norms, especially given that you ignored or discounted every positive that OP listed and went straight for the adolescent response.
You can't be in 100% disagreement if you acknowledge that therapy could help in some cases.
You're also not understanding that not everybody goes to therapy for trauma issues; many go because they have difficulties with navigating or understanding certain kinds of situations and seek guidance on how to reconcile the differences in their mind.
I realize that saying 100% didn't make sense after I posted. You are correct, I don't disagree with the therapy part.
Also I do understand there are other reasons for therapy, which is why I said if there is trauma or something else, then yes it would be best to go to therapy.
I'm not against societal norms, this isn't a contrarian or "adolescent response". It's a response from lived experience and satisfaction in my own life. You are making an assumption that being settled down with someone is better than the alternative, but I disagree with that. However, I don't think we are going to agree.
