I totally relate. I don't feel like I can string together a suitably meaningful or coherant reply right now, but basically, 'yeah!' I don't resent being in therapy, but, I do hear you. Why am I the only one in my life who has to study myself and my behavior and self-improve? There are people in my life who could really do with being more introspective and self-examining. I have this theory, that if only more people were in therapy, the world wouldn't be such a screwed up place to live in - old bosses, colleagues, my family, could all have been better people to be around if they all had more of an idea how they behave. I have this fantasy/hope, that one day I might meet a guy who has also been in therapy, and maybe we'll be able to have this really great realtionship because we know ourselves so well What? A girl can dream. I also have a fear that someone who hasn't been where I am won't truly be able to 'get' me, get me? I feel like here on the board there is so much understanding of each other, a lot of empathy/insight/support -- not like real life at all!
