| I don't personify things but I'm often very reluctant to throw anything away, and I hate it when stuff gets damaged. I keep all kinds of things for decades after their usefulness is over. When I contemplate trashing things, I start thinking that I might need them again one day. It's hard to talk my... |

| But some counselors sometimes are helpful for some clients I agree completely that some counsellors are good for some people. I also think it is presumptuous for a therapist to think they can tell others how to live their lives. And each one thinks their method is the one and only. Sort of like rel... |

| This is a touchy topic for me. 8O My opinion, that the vast majority of therapists don't know what they are doing and that therapy is frequently worse than useless, is one that I keep to myself because so many people I have met have described it as life saving and wonderful and whatever.

Conservatives are manipulating emotions through lies, but liberals have the opportunity to manipulate emotions... |

You could say, "What aspect of my personality leads you to think I have autism?"
or
"Do you think that characteristic could have its roots in some other cause?
Their responses will likely make it clear if they are trolling you or actually interested and you can respond appropriately. |
