I've had history of mild depression and difficulties bending in with people. Lately though, I really fear opening up my heart. It's as if it's best for me not to do so, especially with narcissists roaming around. It's as if there's hardly anyone I can fully trust. Besides that, I'm currently working on focusing on myself more than I focus on people and feelings.
It's a messy web right now. I get the feeling I (and perhaps others) don't know how to socialize nowadays. There's no order, no clear way of life. Everyone is starting to have their own individual ways.
A therapist is not enough. I also kind of despite him, though I went to him in the first place to take care of the source of what has rolled me into increasing difficulties in life. It may be my family, but I just can't be sure.

I actually agree with you to some extent, so maybe something is wrong with me, as well (well, no doubt, actually). What I particularly agree with is that a lot of people want to control others and that a lot of people nowadays don't know how to socialize. It seems so hard to work on and fix yourself when you're constantly interacting with other people who have issues and they trigger issues in you.
Have you thought about looking for a different therapist? Sounds like this one might not be right for you.
