just my $0.02, no. I think that being the social creatures that we are, we need sometimes to share our load. Sometimes an outside pair of eyes, whether a sibling, or friend, or T, can give us a new perspective and help us get to a new place.
or, sometimes, we just need to know that we are not alone. I think it's built into us as human beings.
