I recently "interviewed" two therapists. I just wanted feedback about how I came across to them. OK, it wasn't "therapy" that I wanted, just some straightforward feedback, and -- the important part -- I could decide if I wanted to do anything about that on my own time.

Would you believe they were clueless? And didn't understand what I was asking for?

So. . .where am I going to get that? In the real world, if I affect people adversely, they will -- attack me, shun me, etc.

So, I remain pretty clueless. Because people in general aren't "straight" with me, and neither are therapists.
