Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And if you're unwilling to admit that Palestine is a sovereign nation, then it's pretty reasonable for me to assume that you are agreeing with Israel on that point.

If you’re unwilling to admit that you were wrong about the state of the conflict prior to October 7th then it’s pretty reasonable for me to assume you’re arguing in bad faith.

Why won't you admit you were wrong? I'm not engaging further after this unless you address the question. If you can't then I suggest you get offline and see a therapist to deal with your own insecurities.

And now you are violating our incivility rule.

My refusing to do what you demand is not an excuse to violate rule 5.

I literally think you might need help though. It's not uncivil nor an insult to suggest someone go to therapy unless they mean to belittle people with mental health issues which I certainly do not. It's not something to feel ashamed about either especially given the world we live in.

Do you, Dr. Freud? Based on a few text-based interactions?

Amazing. Psychiatrists take more time, but you've figured out the shortcut.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think it's generally good practice to go see a therapist every once in awhile if you can afford it and even if you feel fine. I'm not trying to diagnose you and therapists don't really do that either. But yes, seeing the way you've interacted with me and others I think is enough for me to give you that advice.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Based on what, exactly? My refusal to concede to something you demand? You're not that important.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not important. Feel free to ignore me if that's what you really want.

And yet your whole psychoanalysis is apparently based upon my refusal to do what you demand.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I actually recommend going to someone who specializes in CBT and not psychoanalysis. That said if the latter is all that's available to you it's generally better than nothing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And what, specifically, are you diagnosing me with that requires CBT? Not following your orders?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

CBT helps plenty of people live happier and healthier lives. You don't actually need to be diagnosed with any mental illness to find it useful.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Ever since I started paying women to step on my cock and balls with high heels my life has gotten happier and healthier.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

That's not an answer. What, specifically, do I need CBT for?

You don't recommend it to everyone you talk to. So why me?

This is starting to seem like you're trolling.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What, specifically, do I need CBT for?

Ask yourself, are you happy arguing with some something this deep into a comment thread? Are you really getting anything out of it? Because if the answer is no but you find yourself still engaging, it's probably worth talking to a therapist about.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

None of that has anything to do with cognitive behavioral therapy. I don’t think you actually know what it is.

So either tell me specifically what you claim I need CBT for or stop trolling a moderator. Your choice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

CBT is useful as a way of addressing all sorts of issues someone might be dealing with. It's very common for therapists today to incorporate aspects of CBT into their practice regardless of the client. It's not just something used to treat severe mental illness.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Got it. You're trolling.
