I find it pretty awful that a therapist would label a client in such a crass/trite way as that. Eeyore/farmers wife. What??

In my experience most people do not want to hear others in depth. Most people are largely self focused. Some people are open to really listening but they are not common.

I think a lot of us bottle up in order to get along in society. Places like here are helpful because they are a place we can vent honestly/be heard.
