I’ve been to a therapist before. Yes, she was like a knowledgable paid friend. Truth is, I don’t have any friends. Women are condescending or conceited towards me, or we just don’t have much in common and they don’t get past being an aquaintance. There is nobody who cares enough to listen to my problems except my mother and a few guys at work. But you can’t necessarily talk to them about very personal problems or hang ups like you can a professional.
Friendships do not come up out of nowhere. They must be worked on. You must be a friend to have a friend. You must accept some faults in your friends, because they all have some, just as we all have them.
Remember we all have our small Crosses to bear. Your friends may be looking for someone to talk to also.
