To be completely honest, I don't really like psychotherapy. I don't like talking about things and trying to figure them out. I'm not very good at figuring out stuff like that.
A lot of the time when my pdoc asks me a question I just come up with what I think is a reasonable answer because I really don't know the answer. I just pretend to know. I repeat things that you guys have said to me. I don't come up with them myself. Maybe I don't have any insight, I dunno.
I feel like therapy is a waste of time. I'm not much of a talking person. I would much rather have very specific goals, and work towards them. Goals like,
Say "Hi" to one person on ___ day.
Call one friend on ___ day at ___ time.
Go to bed at X time.I don't think talking about feelings, relationships and childhood will do anything for me. I also don't particularly like talking about myself. It makes very anxious, it brings out my social anxiety. I do not feel like seeing someone every week and being anxious.
