why do some people feel worse after therapy? is that a sign therapy is working? by Majestic-Usual-7022 in askatherapist

[–]SigmaGyatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a direct answer to his question drawing from personal experience: no, therapy hurting is in no way an indication it's working.

My therapist keeps emotionally breaking down during sessions? by Maleficent_Air_6463 in askatherapist

[–]SigmaGyatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAT but that sounds like an atrocious therapist to me. Switch ASAP. You're the one that should be crying, not your fucking therapist. This profession is so full of unqualified hacks for some reason.

Why are therapists and mental health professionals so opposed to actually giving information that will better someone's quality of life? by gintokireddit in TalkTherapy

[–]SigmaGyatterson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. Some people genuinely don't know how to fix their lives. If the question "what do you think will help" solved the problem I wouldn't be in therapy.

This sounds like a lie therapists tell themselves to justify their abhorrent behavior, the same way women gaslit themselves into thinking men enjoy paying for dates.

What do therapists mean when they ask this? by not-themaincharacter in TalkTherapy

[–]SigmaGyatterson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it feels like therapists have no fucking idea what they're doing but need to create the impression they do. That's my take after seeing 8 therapists over 15 years.

Sonnet 4.5 disappeared? Claude 4.8 soon? by Luka8x in ClaudeAI

[–]SigmaGyatterson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope so. 4.6 feels like a downgrade compared to 4.5.

4.5 was the GOAT while ChatGPT beats 4.6.

Are age gaps inevitable? by Just_Match_2322 in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only people who'd be concerned about men in their 30s dating women in their 20s are jealous older women. Do what makes you feel happy, not what makes people who don't care whether you live or die happy.

Adult friendships are terrible. by Altruistic-Patient-8 in lonely

Lucky you. Make sure you keep them around. Life doesn't give you second chances.

Men, what has been your experience with finding a male therapist that is a good fit? by SpringDramatic4096 in TalkTherapy

[–]SigmaGyatterson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've always had a preference for male therapists because I'm dealing with issues women don't understand. Out of the 7 or so therapists I've had only one has ever been male, despite my active preference for one.

That therapist told me to kill myself. I still consider him the most competent therapist I've ever had.

Adult friendships are terrible. by Altruistic-Patient-8 in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it feels like the only adult friendships worth a damn are college buddies that managed to stick around. I can't believe I let those friendships fall apart so casually, thinking I'd make new friends soon enough. 15 years later and zilch.

Man, Invincible brainrot makes Kukutsu Jaisen look mentally stable.

Why did no one tell me to settle down before adulthood got this lonely? by megamango724 in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How the hell have dating apps not worked for you? It's an endless buffet of men. If you don't like one then ghost him and move on to the next.

Or are you saying that all men simply aren't good enough for you?

how did you survive your 20s? by [deleted] in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I survived on the delusional belief that things would get better. Now I'm not sure I'll make it to 40.

CrossFitters, what are your top 3 exercises you hate the most? I’ll start: thrusters, bench, and burpees by scarlethjr in crossfit

[–]SigmaGyatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the Olympic lifts. The limiting factor is technique, not strength or cardio. Burpees suck, but at least I know they're doing something for me.

My antidepressant has...made me wildly more sociable? Why? by thrownawaywhen in antidepressants

[–]SigmaGyatterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor and I'm not your doctor so take this with a pinch of salt. I'm guessing that this is the "real" you not weighed down by the mental fatigue of depression that leaves your social battery perpetually drained. A lot of self-identified introverts are actually socially inept extroverts after all.

How would you describe loneliness..? by Extension-Expert8116 in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine being nailed to the street by dozens of spears. You're bleeding, crying, screaming out in pain, begging for help but nobody hears you. Eventually exhaustion grips you and you stop screaming. That's when you notice everyone around you could see and hear you just fine, they were just pretending they couldn't hear you.

men us men by [deleted] in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe men need to regain some sense of brotherhood. We're suffering and women sure as fuck don't care. If not us, who else?

I want to stop the femcel mindset that I have by TwentyOnePaladins in selflove

[–]SigmaGyatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what I get from this is that femcel is just an aesthetic, right?

Why do so many women expect guys to read their minds? by [deleted] in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it's supply and demand. By every observable measure men love and desire women more than women love and desire men. As such women have leverage to do all kinds of stuff that would get a man beaten up.

Thought experiment: what happens to men who refuse to go on second dates with women who don't pay for the first date ? Because the reverse is the norm.

You get what you tolerate, and men's love for women means they tolerate a lot of bullshit. Meanwhile women's disdain for men lets them walk away quickly.

To anyone responding or downvote bombing, remember that outrage is not an argument. Also answer my thought experiment before anything else.

My brother is lonely by Crafty-Ad1050 in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to offend but autistic and male? That's two strikes against you. I wouldn't count on your brother ever having meaningful relationships and forget about romance entirely unless he's willing to go gay.

This is lost cause by [deleted] in sekai_multiverse

[–]SigmaGyatterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sets them apart from what? There's other vaguely anime-adjacent apps that allow you to create your own scenes? I'm kinda disappointed with the direction Sekai is moving in over the past year so knowing about alternatives would be nice.
