@Soupe du jour:

Wow! You've run into some real lulus! I heard that people get attracted to the study of psychology and psychiatry because they are trying to figure out what is wrong with themselves. We all seem to be bearing the brunt of that!

I had a psychiatrist who gave me lots of compliments but he was a European gentleman, a Czech actually, and i quite enjoyed them. This was way back in my twenties when i was still thin and physically fit and employed and wore fancy career clothes. He's say how "chic" and "elegant" i looked and i didn't mind a bit.

I did mind tho when i was not able to work anymore and got divorced and put on weight and my hair turned grey and i lost all interest in fashion and his manner turned cold and he seemed delighted to discharge me when i moved away. I guess he was a bit of a womanizer, in the end. It's funny how loosely these "helping professionals" interpret the ethics of their professions!
