I recently met a man whom, upon first meeting, we discovered he knew my therapist. In fact, he was quite excited to hear that my T was still practicing and asked me where and what office, etc. I got along with this person really well and enjoyed his personality. Later I went to 'friend' this guy on Facebook and I noticed he had friended my T, so I relented. The cyber-proximity felt too close for comfort (I figure if the guy wants to add me, he can.)

It was no surprise to me that he knew my T since this is a small town and social circles overlap but I'll admit I'm a bit envious of them. To see them buddy-up while I'm on the sidelines is something that stoked feelings of outsider-ness. I know this is just a cognitive distortion but there it is.

Have you ever known anyone who was actually friends with you therapist?
