Thank you for replying.
I agree that our choices influence our life, but they are not the sole reason for the outcome. There are definitely many other reasons, some of which are beyond our control.
I'm not a particularly emotional person, nor do I bond easily with people. For years I thought it was wrong to be this way, because this is what the professionals always wanted to fix. When they told me my personality was messed up, it made me feel worse, that I was scum, not worth helping. Now, I know it was wrong. It took years to realize that, and only after I concluded, I was drawn more to things than people. This is how I am.
I'm not very good at therapy, probably because I am not really into exploring my emotions and why I feel them. I find people really hard to understand. The only good thing I have gotten from therapy besides healing is improved social skills, but only because it was ASD specific.
I don't really understand the process.
