If you feel that something is wrong with you, then even if the only thing wrong with you is that you have the belief that something is wrong with you, it could be worthwhile finding out why you believe that, wouldn’t it?

One way to do that would be to see a mental health counselor – but I’ve been in and out of therapy for 50 years and it’s very hard to tell a good counselor from a bad one when you first start out. So . . .

Another way to look at it – apart from the belief that something is wrong with you, what would you like to do to change your life for the better? For instance, would you like to learn how to get along with people more easily? That could be a very specific goal that a counselor might be able to help you with, and you could get to know the counselor and decide whether or not you wanted to talk about other things with him or her.

There’s a guy who has Asperger’s syndrome who taught himself social skills and now has a website:

So, change is possible – whether there’s really anything “wrong” with you, or not. Anyway, you’re you and there’s nothing wrong with that!
