I couldn't pinpoint the problem but you summed it up right there. That's exactly the issue!
Not sure what the percentage of the population is/was in therapy, but I realized the hard way that relational stuff learned in therapy can't necessarily be applied to most outside of therapy.
And people with certain personality traits can be more successful in the workplace, creating more challenges.
Added a poll for fun.
