I thought it was kind of stupid - it's because he was trying to agree with everything I say.

He was saying that a doctor should put what their patient thinks, not what they think.
Not that I'm saying the doctor will always be right, but if someone with OCD thinks they have Bi polar - if the doctor knows this, what would be the point of giving them treatment for Bi polar, when it will just be a waste of time and money.

I hate when people agree with everything you say - when they don't actually believe it - why be fake.
I have 2 people doing this to me - a friend I was at school with and someone I talk to on facebook.

I think alot of people do that to "people please." They don't want to make the other person mad. They want to keep that person as a friend so they don't make waves, or risk upsetting them by disagreeing with them for fear of starting a fight. They're desperate for friends, so they just go along with whatever the person says. It's kind of pitiful, but I think that's why alot of people do this.

Others may do it out of a shear boredom type thing -- kind of like "yeah, ok" kind of thing. They don't want the conversation to go any farther so they just agree hoping the conversation will die out.

That's just been what I've noticed anyway. I don't like it when people do it either. if you haven't got an opinion either way, why say anything? Ya know what I mean? LOL Hugs, Lee

Yeah exactly.

It's really annoying - maybe I should just talk to them less.

I've known many people to do just the opposite. They respond with a negative comment or disagree with everything I say. It drives me crazy. I don't know if they are trying to impress me with how critcal their thinking is or if they are trying to foster a debate. Whatever they are doing I don't even want to contine to talk to them. Agree with me if you agree, disagree or discuss an issue if you legitimately have a valid point or just say nothiing. It works for me.
Thanks for this!

Those are always fake - its Yeah I believe you - go along with everything.

But then it's, don't tell the Dr I believe you, I'm not saying anything to the police with you, I think you should talk to your doctor.

Actions - don't match the words.
