You speak of empathy but fail to see your post from another's perspective- where a 3rd party would have no actual knowledge of the true reason you posted a single name.
I know it can be frustrating when people don't understand where you are coming from right away but more information, even if you may think it unnecessary, is often way more helpful than less.
Thanks.

I see what you're saying, and agree that a few short words could've been added to the post.
I'm also glad you carefully wrote the word "
seem", considering how each person reads and interprets the same thing will be different. There actually is a s**t ton of info about the field. I did write a long *** essay. And it is annoying when people don't understand you. We've all experienced that. I purposely wrote the post at that length in so much detail allowing whoever reads it to understand my frustration with mental health professionals who don't have a genuine understanding for the people they work with.
However if my annoyance was solely directed at posters who didn't address the OP's concern with becoming one herself, I would've bluntly said so and been openly "snappy". I'm not one to coat my words unless where appropriate with a delicate person.
I appreciate your being polite about your thoughts.
