Elon Musk telling the world he’s never been to therapy as if his wretched life isn’t a giant monument to that obvious fact. Oh, really, Elon? Wow! You seem so well-adjusted! How do you do it??
It's funny because, viewed at the correct angle, Elon's tweet is actually saying something truthful: if you don't get help, it'll be the reason you die an early death
i talked to my therapist a few weeks ago at the end of a session, and he told me that narcissists seldom go to therapy - if they go, it's because they feel that everyone out there is wronging and belittling them.
they have low self-esteem, which doesn't feel good - but they can put others below them, which feels nice for them. it's a personal insult if someone else knows something better.
in the view of the narcissist, the therapist as a professional is insulting them every session, which results in them insulting and belittling the therapist. it takes years to make any progress.
i compared it to a garage project for tinkerers, something you don't expect to ever work - he loudly burst into laughter and agreed with my analysis.
I can't shake the feeling that Elon is a garage project for tinkerers.
Going to therapy might help and if it doesn't, then at least you tried but if you think that therapy is for the weak, then you absolutely need to go for it.
I would genuinely rather be myself and live paycheck to paycheck than be rich and have to be Elon Musk. Once you get over how infuriating he is, he's just so deeply pathetic.
As long as he's dead he can have whatever he wants on his tombstone. I'll try to trace the letters with my piss. It'll be a fun game, and I'll help to keep my hydrated.
The most narcissistic people I have ever known in my life always refused to go to therapy. There is always a substitute whether it be zealotry or substance abuse. Knowing what I know about Elon, it's hardly surprising to me that he never went to therapy.
When I had a full length beard I would casually mention going to therapy every now and then on the slight chance someone within earshot was on the fence because of some ridiculous notion about manliness.
I've done therapy a couple times in my life with good results. I just told myself that this person has taken years and years of schooling with the intent to help people, and to make money.
My plan was to use them like a prostitute (without sex of course). It worked so I kept going till I felt better. Gotta get a good one.
If you have money you might be able to pay some therapist that you know and respect, but if you have cheap insurance, all your therapists will be young idiots who will be treating cigars a dicks...
I have a chip on my shoulder yes, my nephews therapist was an idiot
