I get that therapy helps other people. That’s fine. It’s good that people are different.

I can’t imagine anything less useful for me. I utterly hate talking to anyone I don’t know very well. I don’t have anything I feel traumatized about, don’t regret anything and am not haunted by my past. Not that nothing traumatic has never happened to me – quite the opposite, really.

I am just built differently, and that’s fine with me. Saves me a lot of trauma, time and money.

A partner’s friend was having problems with his family, and like most people seems to keep in contact with them in some way despite being at odds with them all the time. I said something like, “In moments like this, I am really, really glad to be abnormal as I will never do and never feel whatever is happening there.”
