    Parents forced me to do therapy as a child as punishment for acting out.

    As an adult i try to start sometimes, and basically ask them if there was something not illegal i could say that would make them imprison me against my will.

    The answer is always yes

    So I don’t do therapy

    If I ever confided in a person I trust and their reaction was to call the cops to hold me in an asylum against my will I would fucking lose it and that would be the end of my life.

      Unironically why it can be safer to “trust” in anonymous internet strangers who don’t know who you are and can’t find out. Unironically how I learned to be able to start opening up about shit again and finally an irl friend who I can vent to (a little), but there’s still things I’d never bring up with someone who knows who I am.
